Level of depression, anxiety and stress in patients with intrauterine adhesions in Hunan Province, China: A cross-sectional study

Abstract

Background The incidence of intrauterine adhesions has been increasing in recent years, seriously affecting women's health. This study aimed to investigate the psychological status and identify risk factors associated with high psychological distress in patients with intrauterine adhesions. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in Hunan Province, China. A total of 258 patients who presented with intrauterine adhesions between February and May 2018 were included. Data were collected by a questionnaire packet that included the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, the Medical Coping Mode Questionnaire, and demographic and clinical information. Descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlations and multiple linear stepwise regression were employed in this study. Results Among 258 participants, the detection rates of mild depression and moderate to extremely severe depression were 10.1% and 10.5%, respectively; the detection rates of mild anxiety and moderate to extremely severe anxiety were 11.2% and 20.2%, respectively; the detection rates of mild stress and moderate to extremely severe stress were 9.3% and 10.2%, respectively. Avoidance and resignation coping were positively correlated with the overall scores of general distress which represents the total scores of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (r = 0.171, 0.475, P < 0.01). Multiple linear stepwise regression results showed that husband-wife relationships and avoidance and resignation coping strategies were the main factors predicting general distress levels. Conclusions Patients with intrauterine adhesions have psychological distress in a certain extent. Target interventions should be taken to improve the mental health level of patients.

Chain mediation model of consultation empathy, resilience and resignation coping on depression: a cross-sectional study among patients with COVID-19 in China

“…It is well-established that perceived stress is a factor that influences depression based on multiple studies conducted in the context of COVID-19 62–64. Another research provided direct evidence that resignation was positively correlated with depression and could positively affect depression 65. Our results may provide the foothold for future studies on therapies that reduce avoidance to relieve depression.…”

“…[62][63][64] Another research provided direct evidence that resignation was positively correlated with depression and could positively affect depression. 65 Our results may provide the foothold for future studies on therapies that reduce avoidance to relieve depression. In recent years, many types of psychotherapies have been reported to reduce avoidance thoughts and reactions, mainly cognitive therapies.…”
