abstract="OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of depression,anxiety and suicide behavior in patients suffering from tuberculosis in Hangzhou and to explore their relationship with medication adherence. <br><br>METHODS Demographic characteristics,self-rating anxiety scale (SAS),the center for epidemiological studies -depression (CESD),social support rating scale (SSRS),suicide behavior information and the morisky medication adherence scale (MMAS)were investigated in 973 tuberculosis patients who were selected by systematic random sampling.<br><br>RESULTS The means of SAS and CESD were 39.71 &plusmn;8.30 and 14.16 &plusmn;10.77 respectively,which were both higher than the norms(P&lt;0.01).Totally 102 (10.48%)patients had anxiety and 333 (34.22%)were depressed.Out of 973 patients,60 (6.17%)reported suicide ideation after tuberculosis diagnosis.The prevalence of non -adherence was 20.55%,which was defined with MMAS score above one and more.The non -adherence group had higher anxiety,depression and suicide ideation prevalence than the adherence group (15.50%vs.9.18%,46.50%vs.30.66%,11.00%vs.4.92%respectively,P&lt;0.01).The mean score of SSRS,subjective support,objective support and utilization of support in the non-adherence group were 30.71 &plusmn;5.15,4.61 &plusmn;2.07,19.74 &plusmn;4.55 and 6.34 &plusmn;1.93 respectively,which were 34.06 &plusmn;7.39,6.62 &plusmn; 2.27,20.67 &plusmn;5.27 and 6.77 &plusmn;2.23 in the adherence group respectively.SSRS and its three dimension scores were significantly lower in the non-adherence group than that in the adherence group (P&lt;0.01).<br><br>CONCLUSION These findings show a quite serious situation of psychological problems of tuberculosis patients in Hangzhou and suggest psychological intervention should be included in adherence intervention.<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
