The aim of this study was to explore the frequency and distribution of depression in Barbadian adults with type 2 diabetes.
Adults aged 20-80 years with type 2 diabetes, completed a cross-sectional survey comprised of, a profile section, and the standardized questionnaire; the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Additionally, biological (HbA1c and blood pressure) measurements were collected.
For the 509 participants, 65.4%, 1.4%, 22% and 8% showed minimal, moderately severe to severe; mild and moderate depression respectively. Female participants ranked higher in depression than males. Persons who reported having never been married were identified as having the greatest prevalence of mild and severe depression. There was a small positive correlation between glycemic control and depression.
The results suggest that the presence of this affective disorder may be under-recognized in Barbadian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Management protocol could incorporate the screening for depression.
本研究旨在探讨巴巴多斯2型糖尿病成年患者中抑郁症的发生频率及分布情况。
年龄在20至80岁之间的2型糖尿病成年患者完成了一项横断面调查，该调查包括一个概况部分和标准化问卷——患者健康问卷（PHQ - 9）。此外，还收集了生物学指标（糖化血红蛋白和血压）。
在509名参与者中，分别有65.4%、1.4%、22%和8%表现出轻微、中重度至重度、轻度和中度抑郁。女性参与者的抑郁程度高于男性。报告从未结婚的人被确定为轻度和重度抑郁症患病率最高。血糖控制与抑郁之间存在微弱的正相关。
结果表明，这种情感障碍在巴巴多斯2型糖尿病患者中可能未得到充分认识。管理方案可纳入抑郁症筛查。
