The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and assess their severity in both male and female secondary school students.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among secondary school students in Al Hasa region. A sample of student was selected using multi-stage sampling technique. Data were collected using valid self administered questionnaires (Patient Health Questionnaire 9, Anxiety Disorder 7, and Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive scale). Study was approved by institutional ethical review committee, and informed consent was obtained from each participant. SPSS used for data entry and analysis. Chi-square test was used to test for statistical significance.
A total of 1783 of students, 930 males and 853 females, were enrolled in the study. The prevalence of depression, anxiety, and OCD was 76.2%, 49.9%, and 61.6%, respectively. Most of the diagnosed students had mild forms of the diseases, fewer had moderate form, and very few had severe forms. The most significant risk factor was gender, but other risk factors were significant for some of the diseases.
The prevalence of the three diseases is high and significantly associated with gender. Further work is needed to evaluate this high prevalence and assess the severity of the diseases and other risk factors.
本研究的目的是确定焦虑症、抑郁症和强迫症（OCD）在男女中学生中的患病率，并评估其严重程度。
本横断面研究在哈萨地区的中学生中进行。采用多阶段抽样技术选取学生样本。使用有效的自填问卷（患者健康问卷9、焦虑症问卷7和耶鲁-布朗强迫症量表）收集数据。该研究获得了机构伦理审查委员会的批准，并获得了每位参与者的知情同意。使用SPSS进行数据录入和分析。采用卡方检验来检验统计学意义。
共有1783名学生参与研究，其中男生930名，女生853名。抑郁症、焦虑症和强迫症的患病率分别为76.2%、49.9%和61.6%。大多数确诊学生患有轻度疾病，中度患者较少，重度患者极少。最显著的风险因素是性别，但其他风险因素对某些疾病也有显著影响。
这三种疾病的患病率很高，且与性别显著相关。需要进一步开展工作来评估这种高患病率，并评估疾病的严重程度和其他风险因素。
