Abstract

We conducted three surveys on representative random samples of adult Polish residents drawn from the citizens’ register. They were conducted in June 2022 (N = 1050), October 2022 (N = 1041), and February 2023 (N = 982). Interviews were conducted using a mixed-mode technique (CAPI, CATI, and CAWI). Our key findings are that at least mild symptoms of depression are exhibited by a quarter of adults surveyed (25.8%), including a tenth (9.4%) with moderate or more severe symptoms. Translated to the population, that is more than 7.5 million Poles with at least mild symptoms and more than 2.7 million with more severe symptoms, respectively. The scale of depression symptoms is characterized by a certain seasonality. Fewer people experience them in spring than in autumn and winter. The most significant risk factors include, first of all, a poor economic situation, the presence of other health problems, and young age. There is also a higher risk for women and residents of large cities.

抑郁症可影响任何人：用 PHQ-8 测量的三波波兰全国代表性调查报告

我们对公民登记册中具有代表性的波兰成年居民进行了三次随机抽样调查。调查时间分别为 2022 年 6 月（1050 人）、2022 年 10 月（1041 人）和 2023 年 2 月（982 人）。访谈采用混合模式技术（CAPI、CATI 和 CAWI）进行。我们的主要发现是，四分之一的受访成年人（25.8%）至少有轻度抑郁症状，其中十分之一（9.4%）有中度或更严重的抑郁症状。换算到人口中，即分别有 750 多万波兰人至少有轻度症状，270 多万人有较严重的症状。抑郁症状的程度具有一定的季节性。春季出现抑郁症状的人数少于秋冬季。最重要的风险因素首先包括经济状况不佳、存在其他健康问题以及年龄较小。女性和大城市居民的患病风险也较高。
