Abstract

Mental health status is often ignored in our country. Even many health care professionals commonly ignore the impact of mental illness on both daily and professional lives, which may lead to dire consequences. The purpose of this study was to find the mental health status of physicians working in medical college hospitals of Dhaka city. A cross sectional study was conducted from January to December 2015 for this purpose among 215 number of respondents selected conveniently. Data were collected from 210 physicians by face-to face interview using a semi structured questionnaire containing 4DSQ (Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire), socio economic and other variables. The prevalence of mental illness was calculated according to the scoring system of the scale. Mental illness prevalence was as follows: distress 20%, Anxiety 15.7%, Depression 15.2% and Somatization 8.6%. Majority of the respondents were interns and below 30 years of age. However, in light of current pandemic situation, regular assessment of health personnel’s mental health is needed more than ever. Bang J Psychiatry 2018;32(2): 37-39

达喀市医学院附属医院医师心理健康状况评估

心理健康状况在我国经常被忽视。甚至许多卫生保健专业人员通常也忽视了精神疾病对日常生活和职业生活的影响，这可能导致可怕的后果。摘要本研究旨在了解达喀市医学院附属医院医师的心理健康状况。为此，我们于2015年1月至12月在215名受访者中进行了横断面研究。采用包含4DSQ(四维症状问卷)、社会经济等变量的半结构化问卷对210名医生进行面对面访谈。根据量表的评分系统计算精神疾病的患病率。精神疾病患病率依次为:苦恼占20%，焦虑占15.7%，抑郁占15.2%，躯体化占8.6%。大多数受访者是实习生，年龄在30岁以下。然而，鉴于目前的大流行形势，比以往任何时候都更需要定期评估卫生人员的心理健康状况。精神病学杂志;2018;32(2):37-39
