Title A name given to the resource Depression, Anxiety and Associated Factors Among Chronic Medical Patients Amid COVID-19 Pandemic in Mettu Karl Referral Hospital, Mettu, Ethiopia, 2020 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hajure M, Tariku M, Mohammedhussein M, Dule A Description An account of the resource Mohammedamin Hajure,1 Mandaras Tariku,2 Mustefa Mohammedhussein,1 Aman Dule1 1Department of Psychiatry, College of Health Sciences, Mettu University, Mettu, Ethiopia; 2Department of Psychiatry, College of Health and Medical Sciences, Haramaya University, Harar, EthiopiaCorrespondence: Mohammedamin HajureDepartment of Psychiatry, College of Health Sciences, Mettu University, Mettu, EthiopiaEmail sikoado340@gmail.comBackground: COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the mental health condition of the world’s population. Although the direct effect of COVID-19 on the mental health status of chronic medical patients is well understood, the burden of depression and anxiety on patients with chronic medical conditions is not well studied yet. Therefore, the study aimed to assess the prevalence of depression, anxiety and associated factors among chronic medical patients amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Mettu Karl Referral Hospital, Mettu, Ethiopia.Methods: A facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted from June 1 to July 30, 2020 among chronic medical patients in Mettu Karl Referral Hospital, Ethiopia. Consecutive sampling technique was applied with a total of 423 samples. Quantitative data were employed by using structured questionnaires. Descriptive statistical procedures, bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions with odds ratios and 95% confidence interval (CI) were employed. The statistical significance was declared at p value < 0.05.Results: The findings showed that the prevalence of depression and anxiety among chronic medical patients was 55.7% and 61.8%, respectively. Female gender (AOR = 1.66, 95% CI (1.06, 2.59)), poor social support (AOR = 1.94, 95% CI (1.10, 3.42)), widowed/divorced (AOR = 3.92, 95% CI (1.59, 9.64)), separated (AOR = 3.66, 95% CI (1.64, 8.19)), and longer duration of illness (AOR = 1.82, 95% CI (1.15, 2.89)) were significantly associated with depression, whereas earlier age at onset of illness, having more than three co-morbid diagnoses, tobacco use and poor social support were found to have significant association with anxiety among chronic medical patients amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Ethiopia.Conclusion: The magnitude of concurrent depression and anxiety in the current study was high. Strategies for prompt identification and treatment of depression and anxiety should be developed among medically ill patients.Keywords: anxiety, COVID-19, depression, chronic illness, Ethiopia Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Subject The topic of the resource Anxiety, covid-19, Ethiopia, Depression, chronic illness Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Biotemas Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Neurology.
