Abstract

Objective: To determine the prevalence of anxiety disorder using the GAD-7 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 anxiety disorder. Results: The prevalence of anxiety disorder was 15.5%. Factors associated with anxiety disorder included farmer-fisherman (OR=3.85; 95% CI: 1.19-12.5 compared with business); fairly poor/poor households (OR=2.39, 95%CI: 1.25-4.60); unsatisfied with current health (OR = 4.75; 95% CI: 2.56-8.82), affected by floods from last year (OR = 4.17; 95% CI: 2.08-8.39); and family conflict (OR=9.44; 95%CI; 4.03-22.12). Conclusions: The local government and health sector need to strengthen screening for anxiety disorders, encourage people to exercise, and improve their health. Improve flood awareness and response skills for people are needed.
