“…However, the risk of depressive symptoms experienced by poor self‐rated health respondents in this study was lower than in previous studies. In this study, poor self‐rated health doubled the depressive symptoms risk, while other studies reported that poor self‐rated health increased the risk odds depressive symptoms by three to four‐fold 47,49 . Differences in respondent characteristics may be related to this finding.…”

Aims To analyze the association between personal health conditions (self‐rated health, physical function, and chronic conditions) and symptoms of depression in Indonesia. Methods Data were collected from the Indonesian family life survey 5. This study used a cross‐sectional study design with a sample size of 17,734 respondents. We included depressive symptoms, self‐rated health, physical function, chronic conditions, demographics and socioeconomic variables. The center for epidemiologic studies depression scale was used to measure symptoms of depression. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the data. Results The results showed that 23.47% of respondents had depressive symptoms, 20.04% had poor self‐rated health, 55.93% had a poor physical function, and 32.37% had at least one chronic disease. Respondents who had poor self‐rated health, had poor physical function, or had a chronic condition were all had a significantly higher odds of experiencing symptoms of depression after controlling for demographic variables (age, sex, married, and education level), social‐economic, and smoking status. Conclusion Depressive symptoms were significantly associated with personal health conditions including self‐rated health, physical functioning, and chronic conditions among community residents. Strategies that can improve personal health conditions needed to be studied at the community level to improve the level of mental health.

BackgroundSelf-rated health (SRH) is amongst the most frequently assessed health perceptions in epidemiological research. While there is a growing understanding of the role of SRH, a paradigm model has yet to be widely accepted with recent studies concluding that further work is required in determining whether there are important predictors of SRH yet to be highlighted. The aim of this paper is to determine what health and non-health related factors were associated with SRH in a suburban deprived population in Dublin, Ireland.MethodsA cross sectional face-to-face household survey was conducted. Sampling consisted of random cluster sampling in 13 electoral divisions, with a sampling frame of 420 houses. Demographic information relating to the primary carer was collected. Health status of the primary carer was measured through SRH. Household level data included the presence or absence of persons with a chronic disease, persons who smoked, persons with a disability and healthcare utilisation of general practitioner and hospital level services. A logistic regression model was utilised in the analysis whereby the odds of primary carers with poor SRH were compared to the odds of carers with good SRH taking health and non-health related factors into account.ResultsOf the 420 households invited to participate a total of 343 were interviewed (81.6 % response rate). Nearly half of the primary carers indicated their health as being ‘good’ (n = 158/342; 46.2 %).Adjusting for the effects of other factors, the odds of primary carers with second level education were increased for having poor SRH in comparison to the odds of those with third level education (OR 3.96, 95 % CI (1.44, 11.63)). The odds of primary carers who were renting from the Council were increased for having poor SRH compared to the odds for those who owned their own property (OR 3.09, 95 % CI (1.31, 7.62)). The odds of primary carers that were unemployed (OR 3.91, 95 % CI 1.56, 10.25)) or retired, ill or unable to work (OR 4.06, 95 % CI (1.49, 11.61)) were higher for having poor SRH than the odds of those in employment. If any resident of the household had a chronic illness then the odds of the primary carer were increased for having poor SRH compared to the odds for a primary carer in a household where no resident had a chronic illness (OR 4.78, 95 % CI (2.09, 11.64)). If any resident of the household used the local hospital, the odds of the primary carer were increased for having poor SRH compared to the odds for the primary carer in a household where no resident used the local hospital (OR 2.01, 95 % CI (1.00, 4.14)).ConclusionsSRH is affected by both health and non-health related factors. SRH is an easy to administer question that can identify vulnerable people who are at risk of poor health.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12889-016-3442-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…According to Cai et al, depression is the strongest predictor of SRH, especially in women and elderly people (16). There are reports indicating that SRH is also related to the number of stressful life situations (23) and distress (24), whereas social support (23) and self-efficacy (24) are considerable protective factors.…”

Introduction Self‐rated health (SRH) is a recognised tool for predicting morbidity and mortality. Aim The aim of the study was to investigate and compare SRH in a group of mothers of hospitalised children and mothers of healthy children and to indicate the variables associated with poor SRH in both groups. Methods We conducted questionnaire‐based cross‐sectional research in a group of 184 women. Half of the respondents (n = 92) were the mothers of children hospitalised for a severe illnesses (Group H). The control group (n = 92) comprised mothers of healthy children (Group C). Self‐Rated Health (SRH), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Impact of Event Scale‐Revised (IES‐R) and Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL‐40 v. GP) were used. In order to facilitate critical appraisal and interpretation of results, STROBE recommendations were used. Results The prevalence of poor SRH was greater in mothers of children hospitalised for a severe illness than in those of healthy children (35 and 19%, respectively). In both groups, the risk of poor SRH was statistically significantly higher in those mothers who for the past 7 days reported at least moderate pain and in mothers who manifested anxiety symptoms. In both groups, the prevalence of poor SRH was statistically significantly lower if the respondents' children were in good health. The risk of poor SRH was associated with poor financial status in group H and with depression and at least moderate pain for the past 7 days in group C. Relevance to clinical practice In order to provide mothers of severely ill children with high‐quality health care including preventive measures, it is recommended that their health is assessed by healthcare professionals.
