根据世界卫生组织的数据，全球约有2.8亿人患有抑郁症。更容易出现精神健康问题的一个职业群体是医护人员(HCW)。然而，人们对阿富汗医务工作者的精神健康状况知之甚少。因此，本研究调查了阿富汗妇女中的抑郁、生活质量(QOL)和相关因素。2022年6月，在阿富汗赫拉特省的医护人员(N = 299)中进行了一项横断面调查。这项调查调查了医务工作者中的抑郁症及其危险因素和预测因素。在299名参与者中，73.6%的人报告了抑郁症状。月收入低、在私立医院工作和吸烟是阿富汗医务人员抑郁症状的一些主要变量。多元回归分析显示，工作领域(AOR = 3.774，p = 0.0048)、月收入(AOR = 0.746，p = 0.0088)、工作类型(AOR = 8.970，p <； 0.0001)、吸烟(AOR = 2.955，p = 0.0069)、过去一个月内发生的不良事件(AOR = 2.433，p = 0.0157)、生活质量的生理领域(AOR = 0.966，p = 0.0186)和心理领域的生活质量(AOR = 0.950，p = 0.0005)与抑郁症状显著相关。在阿富汗赫拉特省的医护人员中，抑郁症状的患病率很高。被发现对抑郁症患病率有重大影响的变量之一是他们的月收入。考虑到它对生活质量和医疗服务整体质量的影响，政府应该对弱势医务人员实施定期抑郁症筛查、心理咨询服务和精神治疗。
According to the World Health Organization, approximately 280 million individuals worldwide suffer from depression. One occupational group that is more prone to mental health issues is healthcare workers (HCWs). However, very little is known about the mental health of HCWs in Afghanistan. Therefore, the present study examined depression, quality of life (QOL), and related factors among Afghan HCWs. A cross-sectional survey was administered in June 2022 among healthcare workers (N = 299) in the Herat province of Afghanistan. The survey examined depression, its risk factors and predictors among HCWs. Of the 299 participants, 73.6% of them reported depression symptoms. Low monthly income, working in a private hospital, and being a cigarette smoker were some of the main variables associated with depression symptoms among Afghan HCWs. Multiple regression analysis indicated that field of work (aOR = 3.774, p = 0.0048), monthly income (aOR = 0.746, p = 0.0088), job type (aOR = 8.970, p < 0.0001), cigarette smoking (aOR = 2.955, p = 0.0069), a bad event happening during the past month (aOR = 2.433, p = 0.0157), physical domain of quality of life (aOR = 0.966, p = 0.0186), and psychological domain of quality of life (aOR = 0.950, p = 0.0005) were significantly associated with depression symptoms. The prevalence of depression symptoms is high among healthcare workers in the Herat province of Afghanistan. One of the variables found to have a major impact on the prevalence of depression was their monthly income. Considering its impact on quality of life and the overall quality of healthcare services, the government should implement regular screening for depression, psychological counselling services, and psychiatric treatment for vulnerable healthcare workers.
