Undesirable recent life events in the period of three months preceding primary depressive illness were studied in two Arabian Gulf countries: Qatar (235 patients) and Kuwait (164 patients). Transit population patients, who come to these countries from employment, differ from native patients in the significant predominance of work as a source of recent life events. The difference is discussed in relation to the existential committments and attitudes to work among native and transient populations. Intergenerational conflict as an undesirable recent life event is prevalent among family recent life events in native patients where rapid sociocultural changes are associated with conflict of traditional and modern value systems.
在两个阿拉伯海湾国家卡塔尔（235名患者）和科威特（164名患者），对原发性抑郁症发病前三个月内不良的近期生活事件进行了研究。从就业地来到这些国家的流动人口患者，与本地患者不同，工作作为近期生活事件来源的比例显著更高。结合本地人和流动人口对生活的承诺及工作态度，对这一差异进行了讨论。在本地患者的家庭近期生活事件中，代际冲突作为一种不良的近期生活事件很普遍，这与快速的社会文化变革以及传统和现代价值体系的冲突有关。
