This cross sectional study was conducted at a private medical college in Faisalabad, Pakistan, from March 2019 to April 2019, comprising of 105 male and female students. Validated Hospital Anxiety depression scale (HAD-A and HAD-D) was used to collect data from 1st year and 2nd year MBBS students in order to evaluate anxiety and depression among them. Data was analyzed on SPSS 21. Pearson's Chi-square was applied to compare the percentages of anxious and depressed subjects among the studied group. Independent sample t-test was applied for comparison of mean HAD scores between hostelites and day scholars. P value ≤ 0.05 was taken as significant.
There were 105 students in the study with a mean age of 19.4±0.68 years. Overall, 82.7% students had anxiety, and 52.1% suffered from depression. Average HAD -A and HAD- D scores were 11.2±3.41 and 7.2±3.37 respectively. Greater number of hostelites was suffering from emotional disturbances as compared to day scholars. HAD -A scores was significantly higher in hostelites than day scholars with P value 0.003*(11.85±3.42 Vs 10.92 ±2.56). HAD- D scores were also higher in hostilities but difference was insignificant. (7.57±3.42 Vs 6.85 ±1.58).
Emotional disturbance including anxiety and depression are found to be highly prevalent among medical students of a private medical college in Faisalabad. Hostelites are more prone to anxiety and depression than day scholars.
本研究旨在通过医院焦虑抑郁量表（HAD）评分来确定并比较寄宿生和走读生医学生中情绪障碍、焦虑和抑郁的发生率。
本横断面研究于2019年3月至2019年4月在巴基斯坦费萨拉巴德的一所私立医学院进行，共纳入105名男女学生。采用经过验证的医院焦虑抑郁量表（HAD - A和HAD - D）收集一年级和二年级医学学士学生的数据，以评估他们的焦虑和抑郁情况。数据在SPSS 21上进行分析。应用Pearson卡方检验比较研究组中焦虑和抑郁受试者的百分比。应用独立样本t检验比较寄宿生和走读生的平均HAD评分。P值≤0.05被视为具有统计学意义。
本研究中有105名学生，平均年龄为19.4±0.68岁。总体而言，82.7%的学生有焦虑症状，52.1%的学生患有抑郁症。平均HAD - A和HAD - D评分分别为11.2±3.41和7.2±3.37。与走读生相比，寄宿生中患有情绪障碍的人数更多。寄宿生的HAD - A评分显著高于走读生，P值为0.003*（11.85±3.42对10.92±2.56）。寄宿生的HAD - D评分也较高，但差异不显著（7.57±3.42对6.85±1.58）。
在费萨拉巴德一所私立医学院的医学生中，发现包括焦虑和抑郁在内的情绪障碍非常普遍。寄宿生比走读生更容易出现焦虑和抑郁。
