Due to the extensive workload and clinical demands of nursing education, undergraduate nursing students are particularly prone to depression.
to assess the level of depression and its sociodemographic and academic determinants among undergraduate nursing students.
A descriptive, cross-sectional analysis of 258 nursing students recruited from a college of nursing at Saudi university. The data collection instruments used were a Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale. An analysis of variance and a regression analysis were conducted to examine the effects of self-esteem and sociodemographic and academic factors on the depression level.
The majority of students (64.0%) had a normal level of self-esteem but (31%) had moderate depression levels. Nursing students who were less than 23 years old were more likely to suffer from depression, and those who did not prefer nursing as a profession and believed that learning courses and study schedules were rigid were significantly more depressed than those who did not. Depressive symptom was predicted by stress during study time (В = .308, p = .000), preferred nursing as profession (В = -.171, p = .004), Grade Point Average (В = -.168, p = .005), and gender (В = .124, p = .035).
In general, nursing students had a moderate level of depression. The factors identified in this study need to be evaluated further in order to assist in the early detection and control of depression in this significant population and reduce the negative consequences associated with the condition.
由于护理教育的工作量大且临床需求广泛，本科护理学生尤其容易出现抑郁。
评估本科护理学生的抑郁水平及其社会人口统计学和学业决定因素。
对沙特一所大学护理学院的 258 名护理学生进行描述性、横断面分析。使用的数据分析工具是患者健康问卷 9 项和罗森伯格自尊量表。进行方差分析和回归分析，以检验自尊以及社会人口统计学和学业因素对抑郁水平的影响。
大多数学生（64.0%）的自尊水平正常，但（31%）有中度抑郁水平。年龄小于 23 岁的护理学生更容易出现抑郁，那些不喜欢护理作为职业且认为学习课程和学习计划僵化的学生，明显比那些不这样认为的学生抑郁程度更高。学习期间的压力（B=.308，p=.000）、喜欢护理职业（B=-.171，p=.004）、平均绩点（B=-.168，p=.005）和性别（B=.124，p=.035）可以预测抑郁症状。
总体而言，护理学生的抑郁程度处于中等水平。需要进一步评估本研究中确定的因素，以便帮助早期发现和控制这一重要人群的抑郁，并减少与该病症相关的负面后果。
