Prevalence of depression, anxiety, and associated factors in residents from hospital centers during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

Objective: To determine anxiety and depression frequency in residents from hospital centers during COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: A descriptive, observational, cross-sectional study was carried out from June to December 2020. Residents from hospitals of Secretary of Health, Puebla, were identified. The sample included 247 residents, who had an individual interview and answered a questionnaire through CEMEVI (Virtual Medical Center of High Specialty).

Results: 17 % of anxiety and 45 % of depression were reported. The most frequent age group was 26 to 31 years; 124 women and 123 men; anesthesiology, internal medicine and pediatrics were the medical specialties with greater depression; internal medicine and pediatrics were the medical specialties with greater anxiety. The risk factors for depression were anxiety (OR = 36.9), record of contact with COVID-19 patients (OR = 2.49 p = 0.035), and parental anxiety record (OR = 2.6, p = 0.009). The medical history of parents with anxiety was risk factor for anxiety (OR = 2.3, p = 0.031).

Conclusions: Prevalence of depression and anxiety should alert to seek answers to the problem.
