Abstract

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and contributing factors of depression and suicidal ideations among stroke survivors in Nigeria.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study comprising 75 consenting stroke survivors who were purposively recruited from 2 tertiary hospitals. Suicidal ideations and depression were measured using standard questionnaires. Obtained data was analyzed with appropriate statistical tools.

Results: 9.3% of the participants had depression while 4% reported suicidal ideations. Significant correlation existed between suicidal ideations and depression (ρ = .31, P = .01), and levels of depression and suicidal ideations (χ² = 85.76; P < .01). Depression had a significant relationship with gender and marital status, while suicidal ideations had a significant relationship with marital status. Females were significantly more depressed than their male counterparts (U = 512.50, P = .04) and also had a higher score on suicidal ideations. The widowed/divorced recorded the highest scores on depression (χ² = 8.77, P = .01) and suicidal ideations (χ² = 6.62; P = .04).

Conclusion: A worrisome prevalence of depression was reported among the study participants. The level of suicidal ideations was quite low. Depression and suicidal ideations were higher among females and those who lost their life partners (either by divorce or death).

中风后抑郁和自杀意念：与性别和婚姻状况的关系：一项横断面研究。

目的确定尼日利亚中风幸存者抑郁和自杀意念的发生率和诱因：这是一项横断面研究，从两家三级医院有目的地招募了 75 名同意的中风幸存者。采用标准问卷对自杀意念和抑郁进行测量。获得的数据使用适当的统计工具进行分析：结果：9.3%的参与者患有抑郁症，4%的参与者有自杀倾向。自杀意念与抑郁之间存在显著相关性（ρ = .31，P = .01），抑郁程度与自杀意念之间也存在显著相关性（χ2 = 85.76; P U = 512.50，P = .04），而且自杀意念的得分也较高。丧偶/离婚者的抑郁（χ2 = 8.77，P = .01）和自杀意念（χ2 = 6.62；P = .04）得分最高：结论：在研究参与者中，抑郁症的发病率令人担忧。结论：在研究参与者中，抑郁症的发病率令人担忧，自杀意念的发病率较低。在女性和失去生活伴侣（离婚或死亡）的人群中，抑郁症和自杀倾向的发生率较高。
