Abstract

The outbreak of pandemic disease is catastrophic and caused negative psychological effects among patients, healthcare workers and their surroundings. This study aims to determine the prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation among stable hospitalized COVID-19 patients. This is a cross-sectional study with web-based online survey involving 401 stable hospitalized COVID-19 patients aged 18 years above who were selected via quota sampling technique. The questionnaire consists of socio-demographic profile, Patient Health Questionnaire 9 items (PHQ-9) and Brief COPE (Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced). The identified probable cases of depression and suicidal ideation were subsequently referred to psychiatrists. The prevalence of depression and suicidal ideation were 7.5% and 4.0% respectively. The prediction model revealed that females [aOR=5.29 (95% CI: 1.34, 20.80)], age 35-49 years old [aOR=7.47 (95% CI: 1.78, 31.30)], adopting behavioral disengagement [aOR=1.94 (95% CI: 1.31, 2.87)] and self-blame [(aOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.31, 2.30)] as coping strategies, were significant predictors of depression. The findings estimate mental health burden among COVID-19 patients in Malaysia. The establishment of continuous mental health surveillance is essential in managing cases of depression and suicidal ideation.

马来西亚半岛主要COVID-19医院患者抑郁症和自杀意念患病率

大流行性疾病的爆发是灾难性的，对患者、卫生保健工作者及其周围环境造成了负面的心理影响。本研究旨在确定稳定住院的COVID-19患者抑郁和自杀意念的患病率。本研究是一项基于网络的横断面研究，采用定额抽样方法选取401例18岁以上稳定住院的新冠肺炎患者。问卷由社会人口统计资料、患者健康问卷9项(PHQ-9)和简要COPE(所经历问题的应对倾向)组成。确定的可能的抑郁和自杀意念的病例随后被转介给精神科医生。抑郁症和自杀意念患病率分别为7.5%和4.0%。预测模型显示，女性[aOR=5.29 (95% CI: 1.34, 20.80)]、35-49岁[aOR=7.47 (95% CI: 1.78, 31.30)]、采取行为脱离[aOR=1.94 (95% CI: 1.31, 2.87)]和自责[(aOR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.31, 2.30)]作为应对策略是抑郁症的显著预测因子。研究结果估计了马来西亚COVID-19患者的心理健康负担。建立持续的精神健康监测对于管理抑郁症和自杀意念病例至关重要。
