ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the mental health status of non-psychiatric inpatients in a general hospital， and to explore the relevant influencing factors， so as to provide references for the screening of mental health problems and the construction of intervention models among non-psychiatric inpatients. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 916 non-psychiatric inpatients in a third grade class A general hospital in Guangzhou， and all the inpatients were assessed using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 item （PHQ-9）， Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 item （GAD-7）， Athens Insomnia Scale （AIS） and Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale （C-SSRS） to detect their depression， anxiety， insomnia and suicide risk status. Thereafter， univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were used to screen the risk factors affecting the mental health of inpatients. ResultsA total of 339 （37.0%） inpatients with positive mental health problems were screened， and the screening results for each dimension revealed 218 cases （23.8%） of depression， 141 cases （15.4%） of anxiety， 257 cases （28.1%） of insomnia， 42 cases （4.6%） of suicidal ideation and 7 cases （0.8%） of suicidal behavior. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that female （OR=1.379， P<0.05） was a risk factor for positive screening of mental health problems. Ordinal Logistic regression analysis denoted that age above 60 years old （OR=1.542， P<0.05） and singlehood （OR=2.055， P<0.05） were risk factors affecting the severity of depression， while senior high school to junior college education （OR=0.524， P<0.05） was a protective factor of depression， meantime， female （OR=1.472， P<0.05） was a risk factor affecting the severity of insomnia. ConclusionMental health problems are quite common among non-psychiatric inpatients in general hospitals， and are mainly affected by factors such as gender， age， marital status and educational background.
