Integration of mental health into primary care is essential to establish access to mental health services. Screening the community for psychological distress is the first step.
The aim of the study was to estimate the burden and the determinants of psychological distress in a rural community.
This was a community-based cross-sectional study among adult members of a rural community of Nitte Village in Udupi district in Karnataka, South India.
Three hundred and ten households were surveyed using the World Health Organization Self-Reported Questionnaire (SRQ). A cutoff value of 8 in SRQ was taken as screening positive.
Descriptive data were analyzed in proportions, whereas Chi-square test and regression analysis were used to explore associations.
Hypertension and diabetes were the two common comorbidities. The prevalence of psychological distress was 42.4 per thousand. "Being easily tired" and "feeling tired all the time" were the two most common responses out of the SRQ checklist. Distress was significantly associated with gender, educational status, and marital status.
The prevalence of psychological distress was 42.4 per thousand, and somatic complaints were common presentations of distress in the study population.
将心理健康纳入初级保健对于建立心理健康服务的可及性至关重要。对社区进行心理困扰筛查是第一步。
本研究的目的是估计一个农村社区中心理困扰的负担及其决定因素。
这是一项针对印度南部卡纳塔克邦乌度皮区尼特村农村社区成年居民的基于社区的横断面研究。
使用世界卫生组织自填问卷（SRQ）对310户家庭进行了调查。SRQ中8分的临界值被视为筛查阳性。
描述性数据按比例进行分析，而卡方检验和回归分析用于探索关联。
高血压和糖尿病是两种常见的合并症。心理困扰的患病率为千分之42.4。“容易疲劳”和“一直感到疲倦”是SRQ清单中最常见的两种反应。困扰与性别、教育程度和婚姻状况显著相关。
心理困扰的患病率为千分之42.4，躯体主诉是研究人群中困扰的常见表现形式。
