Abstract

Background: DEPRESSION is one of the most common psychiatric disorders and its prevalence ranges from 10.5% to 62-9%. This study was undertaken in order to determine some of the etiological factors related to DEPRESSION among university STUDENTS in YASUJ. Patients and Methods: The study sample was selected from three different universities in YASUJ. A Beck questionnaire as well as a questionnaire for personal data especially those related to DEPRESSION were used. The collected data was statistically analyzed using SPSS and chi-square tests. Results: Out of the 464 STUDENTS included in this study, 35.6 percent had DEPRESSION (38.5 percent of all males and 34.1 percent of all females). The highest prevalence rate (42.9 percent) was observed among Islamic Azad University STUDENTS while the lowest prevalence rate (16.8 percent) was seen among STUDENTS at YASUJ University of Medical Sciences. Non-native STUDENTS, 20-24 year old STUDENTS, and STUDENTS whose parents had chosen their field of study suffered from a more severe DEPRESSION. STUDENTS who were hopeful about their future occupation, STUDENTS who participated in extracurricular activities and STUDENTS who were more religious suffered from less DEPRESSION. Also, DEPRESSION was more common in STUDENTS who had lost their mothers and in those who lived in dormitories. There was no relationship between DEPRESSION and the occupation of the STUDENTS' fathers, decease of fathers, level of parental education, the number of siblings, the absence of exercise, loss of friends, and the level of religious belief in the family. Conclusion: The results of this. study indicate that in order to decrease the prevalence of DEPRESSION among STUDENTS it is best to accept native STUDENTS, allow the STUDENTS to choose their field of study and encourage STUDENTS to participate in extracurricular activities and to practice their religious beliefs and partake in-religious ceremonies.
