ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of mental health problems among hypertensive patients in Ya'an city five years after the Lushan earthquake， so as to provide references for promoting the mental health of hypertensive patients in earthquake-stricken areas. MethodsStratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to select 800 hypertensive patients in Ya'an city in December 2018. The general information of patients were collected via a self-designed questionnaire， and their mental health problems were assessed via the 12-item General Health Questionnaire （GHQ-12）.Then Logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the influencing factors. ResultA total of 744 valid questionnaires （93.00%） were obtained， and mental health problems were detected in 79 cases （10.62%）. Univariate analysis denoted that the detection rate of mental health problems yielded statistical difference among patients of different marital status （P<0.01）， family per capita monthly income （P=0.012） and social assistance recipients （χ2=25.194， P<0.01）. Logistic regression analysis indicated that the unmarried/separated/divorced/widowed status （OR=3.879， P=0.015） and social assistance recipients （OR=4.705， P<0.01） were risk factors for mental health problems among hypertensive patients. ConclusionThe detection rate of mental health problems is low among hypertensive patients in Ya'an city， while the unmarried/separated/divorced/widowed and social assistance recipients may suffer more serious mental health problems.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the prevalence rate and related risk factors of anxiety， depression and insomnia symptoms in close contacts of COVID-19 patients undergoing centralized quarantine and observation， so as to provide references for follow-up targeted psychological crisis intervention. MethodsFrom February 6 to 8， 2020， a total of 136 close contacts at designated quarantine sites in four districts and counties of Ya'an city were enrolled， and assessed using the general information questionnaire， Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale （HAD） and Insomnia Severity Index （ISI）. ResultsA total of 26 quarantined individuals （19.12%） had various degrees of anxiety， depression or insomnia， including 16 cases （11.76%） with anxiety， 9 cases （6.62%） with depression and 16 cases （11.76%） with insomnia. Correlation analysis showed that HAD （A） score was positively correlated with HAD （D） score （r=0.642， P<0.01）. HAD （A） score was positively correlated with ISI score （r=0.590， P<0.01）. HAD （D） score was positively correlated with ISI score （r=0.329， P<0.01）. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factor of anxiety was the first week of isolation （OR=3.290， P<0.05）， meantime， the risk factors of insomnia included the old age （OR=7.990， P<0.05） and the first week of isolation （OR=4.659， P<0.05）. ConclusionThe close contacts of COVID-19 infections undergoing centralized quarantine and observation in Ya’an have high prevalence rate of anxiety and insomnia， and the symptoms are most severe during the first week of quarantine.
