TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Prevalence and risk factors of major depression disorders in local teachers three months after Lushan earthquake JO - Sichuan Da Xue Xue Bao Yi Xue Ban A1 - Chen, Ran A1 - Li, Hai-ming A1 - Chen, De-chao A1 - Gong, Yao A1 - Zhu, Shen-yue A1 - Tian, Yu-lian A1 - Zhang, Jun SP - 440 EP - 443, 479 VL - 46 IS - 3 N2 - OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence and risk factors of major depression disorder (MDD) in local teachers at an early stage post Lushan earthquake.

METHODS: A prospective cohort study was undertaken, with 319 local teachers receiving diagnostic MDD assessment using MINI 14-22 d and 85-95 d after the earthquake, respectively. Possible predictive factors were identified using a self-developed questionnaire. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the predictors of MDD.

RESULTS: Fifteen (4. 70%) local teachers were diagnosed with MDD. Those who had an injured direct relative [odds ratio (OR) = 6. 26], with inhabitable house (OR=4. 26), and felt easy to get sad 14-20 d weeks post earthquake (OR= 11. 45) were more likely to suffer from MDD than others. An anxious emotion 14-20 d post earthquake was a protective factor (OR=0. 14) of MDD.

CONCLUSION: Post earthquake MDD in local teachers deserves concerns, especially for those who have injured relatives, with an inhabitable house, and who feel easy to get sad 14-20 d post earthquake.
