Abstract

Introduction: Mental health problems appear to be increasing in importance in Africa. Mental and substance use disorders were the leading cause of yearly lived with disability in Sub-Saharan Africa. Evidence from previous studies shows considerable variation in the prevalence of these disorders. The most acceptable explanation for this wide variation is likely to be the fact that socio cultural factors are major determinants of mental disorders. Therefore a mental disorder has to be understood in a specific setting to develop effective and tailored interventions.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated factors of common mental disorders among adult residents in Silte Zone, southern Ethiopia.

Methods: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in the study area. A total of 1178 adults were selected by using a three-stage systematic sampling technique. The Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20) was used to determine the prevalence of common mental disorders. Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 20. Both bivariate and multiple logistic regression analyses were employed to identify factors associated with common mental disorders.

Results: The prevalence of common mental disorders among adults found to be 39.7%. Increased age (OR = 1.114; 95% CI = 1.095, 1.134), being female (OR = 9.421; 95% CI = 5.947, 14.926), poor social support (OR = 1.987; 95% CI = 1.358, 2.907) and having life threatening experience (OR = 2.162; 95% CI = 1.825, 2.562) were significantly associated with common mental disorders.

Conclusion: In the study, the magnitude of common mental disorders remains high in the study area. Increased age, being female, poor social support and having life-threatening experience were significantly associated with common mental disorders.

埃塞俄比亚南部西尔特地区成年居民常见精神障碍的患病率及相关因素

导言:心理健康问题在非洲似乎日益重要。精神和药物使用障碍是撒哈拉以南非洲每年残疾的主要原因。以往研究的证据表明，这些疾病的患病率存在相当大的差异。对于这种广泛的差异，最可接受的解释可能是社会文化因素是精神障碍的主要决定因素。因此，必须在特定的环境中了解精神障碍，以制定有效和量身定制的干预措施。目的:本研究的目的是确定埃塞俄比亚南部西尔特地区成年居民中常见精神障碍的患病率及其相关因素。方法:在研究区进行基于社区的横断面调查。采用三阶段系统抽样法，共抽取1178名成人。采用自我报告问卷(SRQ-20)来确定常见精神障碍的患病率。数据采用SPSS version 20进行分析。采用双变量和多元逻辑回归分析来确定与常见精神障碍相关的因素。结果:成人常见精神障碍患病率为39.7%。年龄增加(OR = 1.114;95% CI = 1.095, 1.134)，女性(OR = 9.421;95% CI = 5.947, 14.926)，社会支持差(OR = 1.987;95% CI = 1.358, 2.907)和有生命危险经历(OR = 2.162;95% CI = 1.825, 2.562)与常见精神障碍显著相关。结论:在本研究中，研究区常见精神障碍的程度仍然很高。年龄增长、女性身份、缺乏社会支持和有威胁生命的经历与常见的精神障碍显著相关。
