Factores asociados a depresión en residentes de Medicina Familiar

Abstract

Objective: Determine the factors associated with depression in family medicine residents. Material and methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study of family medicine residents using the Beck Depression Inventory. Two groups were formed: group 1, residents with depression and group 2, residents without depression. Sociodemographic, family, physical and organizational aspects were studied. The statistical analysis included chi square, odds ratio, multiple logistic regression and the calculation of probability (1/1+e-y). Results: In the bivariate analysis, eating habits and non-normative crises were significant (p < 0.05). The model that best explained depression in family medicine residents (chi square = 20.37 and p = 0.001) were the variables gender, sedentariness, remuneration and non-normative crises. The highest probability of presenting depression was 87% by being male, having non-normative crises, sedentariness and considering an adequate remuneration. Conclusion: The model that explains depression in family medicine residents includes variables that are susceptible to modification.
