Abstract

The Teoswa region is a distinctive cultural area in the eastern coastal Guangdong Province, China. The trend of rapidly increasing burden of mental disorders in the Teoswa region highlights the necessity to grasp the latest prevalence of mental disorders among Teochew adults. A multistage stratified cluster random sampling method was implemented in the Teoswa region between September and December 2021. A two-phase diagnostic procedure was used: multiscale screening and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interviews (MINI) diagnosis. This study found that the 12-month prevalence of mental disorders was (7.05 %, 95 %CI: 5.91 %-8.38 %). Sleep disorders showed the highest prevalence rate (4.37 %, 95 %CI: 3.49 %-5.47 %), followed by anxiety disorders (3.19 %, 95 %CI: 2.43 %-4.18 %), mood disorders (1.81 %, 95 %CI: 1.27 %-2.57 %), Alzheimer's disease (0.34 %, 95 %CI: 0.16 %-0.72 %), schizophrenia (0.23 %, 95 %CI: 0.07 %-0.72 %), posttraumatic stress disorder (0.12 %, 95 %CI: 0.03 %-0.47 %). Facing the non-negligible epidemic of mental disorders in the Teoswa region, policymakers should prioritize evidence-based prevention and intervention measures to address this public health challenge.

中国潮州地区潮州成人精神障碍12个月流行病学研究

特奥斯瓦地区是中国东部沿海广东省的一个独特的文化区域。潮州地区精神障碍负担迅速增加的趋势凸显了掌握潮州成年人精神障碍最新流行情况的必要性。研究于2021年9月至12月在特奥斯瓦地区实施了多阶段分层整群随机抽样方法。采用两阶段诊断程序：多尺度筛查和迷你国际神经精神病学访谈（Mini）诊断。本研究发现12个月精神障碍患病率为（7.05 %,95 %CI: 5.91 %-8.38 %）。睡眠障碍显示流行率最高(4.37 %、95 % CI: 3.49 % -5.47 %),其次是焦虑症(3.19 %、95 % CI: 2.43 % -4.18 %),情绪障碍(1.81 %、95 % CI: 1.27 % -2.57 %),阿尔茨海默氏症(0.34 %、95 % CI: 0.16 % -0.72 %),精神分裂症(0.23 %、95 % CI: 0.07 % -0.72 %),创伤后应激障碍(0.12 %、95 % CI: 0.03 % -0.47 %)。面对特奥斯瓦地区不可忽视的精神疾病流行，决策者应优先采取循证预防和干预措施，以应对这一公共卫生挑战。
