背景资料：抑郁性卒中患者的康复更为困难，因为卒中后抑郁与日常活动、功能和生活质量的破坏有关。然而，关于中风患者抑郁的研究有限。我们的研究的目的是评估人口统计学特征，包括性别，年龄，教育水平，配偶的存在，和收入状况对抑郁症状的中风患者的相互作用，并确定组，可能需要更多的关注与抑郁symptoms.Methods：我们完成了一个完整的横断面研究中风患者的数据使用的二次数据分析。抑郁症是用流行病学研究中心抑郁量表测量的。结果：在这项研究中，与配偶生活在一起的妇女的抑郁症状比没有配偶的妇女轻。对于那些收入不足，抑郁症状评分较高，在高中以上组比高中以下组，但较低的患者谁是生活在与配偶比那些生活在没有配偶。结论：评估抑郁症状中风后应考虑性别，经济状况，教育水平和配偶的存在/不存在的相互作用。这些结果将有助于全面了解中风后康复期间筛查和治疗抑郁症状的重要性。
Background: The rehabilitation of depressed stroke patients is more difficult because poststroke depression is associated with disruption of daily activities, functioning, and quality of life. However, research on depression in stroke patients is limited. The aim of our study was to evaluate the interaction of demographic characteristics including gender, age, education level, the presence of a spouse, and income status on depressive symptoms in stroke patients and to identify groups that may need more attention with respect to depressive symptoms.Methods: We completed a secondary data analysis using data from a completed cross-sectional study of people with stroke. Depression was measured using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale.Results: In this study, depressive symptoms in women living with a spouse were less severe than among those without a spouse. For those with insufficient income, depressive symptom scores were higher in the above high school group than in the below high school group, but were lower in patients who were living with a spouse than in those living without a spouse.Conclusion: Assessing depressive symptoms after stroke should consider the interaction of gender, economic status, education level, and the presence/absence of a spouse. These results would help in comprehensive understanding of the importance of screening for and treating depressive symptoms during rehabilitation after stroke.
