Prevalences of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms among outpatients in the internal medicine departments of a large general hospital in Shanghai

Objective：Estimate the prevalences of anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms among internal medical outpatients in a general hospital in Shanghai and compare the prevalences by sex, age, level of education and occupation. Methods： A 1∶10 random sample was identified from outpatients of four internal medicine departments in a large tertiary general hospital; 6 117 subjects were selected and 6 104 of them completed the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale （HADS）. Anxiety symptoms and depressive symptoms were considered present if the scores on the respective sub-scales were 8 or above. Results：The prevalences of anxiety and depressive symptoms were 9.5%（95%CI=8.8%-10.2%） and 23.0%（21.9%-24.1%）, respectively. The prevalence of anxiety symptoms was higher in patients who were less than 30 years old, who had higher levels of education, and who were students or unemployed. The prevalence of depressive symptoms was higher in patients who were male, who were more than 60 years old, who had less education, and who were farmers or students. Conclusion：The prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms among patients seen in the internal medicine outpatient departments of large general hospitals in Shanghai is high. Efforts should be made to increase the rates of identification and treatment of these patients and to institute appropriate preventive measures.
