Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of depression using the PHQ-9 scale among people living in some disadvantaged communes in the coastal area of Thua Thien Hue province and identify associated factors. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 595 subjects who were 18 years of age or older, from October 2022 to February 2023. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with depression. Results: The prevalence of depression was 13.9%. Factors associated with depression included household workers, (OR=3.10; 95% CI: 1.17-8.20); unsatisfied with current health (OR = 5.92; CI95%: 3.10-11.28), influenced by flooding (or = 4.42; CI95%: 1.94-10.1); familiar conflicts (OR=11.4; CI95%; 4.44-29.27) and muscular-skeletal diseases (OR=2,36; 95%CI: 1,26-4,41). Conclusions: The local government and health sector need to strengthen screening for early detection of depression. Encourage people to seek help, share with relatives, friends, or health workers, or join clubs to enhance exercise and improve health. Improve flood awareness and response skills for people are needed.
