Abstract

Introduction: The purpose of this study to investigate the relationship between BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) and DEPRESSION and MENTAL HEALTH status in nursing students of the Jiroft nursing college.Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study, conducted on a group of 173 nursing students of the Jiroft nursing college in 1387. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Beck Inventory DEPRESSION and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Weight and height were measured without shoes and wearing light clothes. BMI was calculated by kg/m2. SPSS software and t test, Pearson correlation, Chi-score and logistic regression was used for data analysis.Results: Of the total population, 77.4% of samples were female and 22.6 % were male. The mean age of samples was 21±1.9, mean BMI was 22.4 ±3.5. 16.6 % of subjects were low weight, 10.6 % over weight and 2.3% were obese. Data revealed a significant positive correlation between DEPRESSION scores and BODY MASS INDEX scores (R=0.204, P<0.01). There was not significant correlation between GHQ and BODY MASS INDEX scores(R=0.108, P>0.157). Data also revealed that BMI is significantly related to DEPRESSION [OR=1.1 CI95%=1.02-1.20] and place of residence [OR=6.86 CI 95% =2.38-19.78] among females, but not in males.Conclusion: It seems that enhancing mood and MENTAL HEALTH status can reduce overweight in female nursing students of the Jiroft nursing college.
