Description
Summary:ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence rate and influencing factors of depression and anxiety in disabled people in Guang'an during the post-pandemic period, so as to provide references for promoting mental health of disabled people.MethodsFrom April to May 2021, the disabled people dwelling in low-risk areas for coronavirus infections in Guang'an for half a year and met the criteria outlined in Classification and Grading Criteria of Disability (GB/T26341-2010) were selected as the survey subjects, and their depression and anxiety symptoms were evaluated via the Patients' Health Questionnaire Depression Scale-9 item (PHQ-9) and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) through Wenjuanxing platform. Then binary Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the risk and protective factors for depression and anxiety in disabled people.ResultsThe detection rates of moderate-to-severe and severe depressive symptoms were 9.05% and 8.35%, and the detection rates of moderate and severe anxiety symptoms were 9.40% and 11.25%. Regression analysis denoted that being laid-off and job-waiting were risk factors for depression and anxiety in disabled people (OR=2.354, 2.353, P<0.01). Being unmarried (OR=0.418), married (OR=0.414), visual disability (OR=0.254), limb disability (OR=0.460), good family function (OR=0.241), moderate family dysfunction (OR=0.288), complete self-care (OR=0.062) and partial self-care (OR=0.416) were protective factors for depression in disabled people (P<0.05 or 0.01). Visual disability(OR=0.382), hearing disability(OR=0.143), limb disability(OR=0.432), good family function (OR=0.246), moderate family dysfunction (OR=0.402), complete self-care (OR=0.093) and partial self-care (OR=0.378) were protective factors for anxiety in disabled people (P<0.05 or 0.01).ConclusionThe disabled people in Guang'an during the post-pandemic period suffer a high detection rate of depression and anxiety, and the detection rate is even higher among those being laid-off or job-waiting, while good family function and complete or partial self-care ability are conducive to protecting the mental health of the disabled.
