Özet
Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of mood and anxiety disorders among inpatients and the relationship between sociodemographic factors, medical illnesses and treatments. Methods: In the present study, we selected 650 inpatients from all clinics except psychiatry and pediatrics in a general hospital by a simple random sampling method. Based on the exclusion criteria, 57 patients were excluded. Mood and anxiety disorders were determined by means of the Structured Clinical Interview for Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition. Results: Of the participants, 226 (37.5%) had a psychiatric disorder, 87 (14.4) had a mood disorder and 146 (24.2%) had an anxiety disorder. The most common specific diagnoses were not otherwise specified as anxiety disorder (9.5%), major depression (8.6%) and generalized anxiety disorder (7.6%). While the overall prevalence was highest in the hematology clinic (60.0%), it was lowest in the clinic of infectious diseases (22.7%). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the independent factors associated with psychiatric disorders were being of the female gender and a personal history of psychiatric disorders. Conclusions: In conclusion, results of the present study suggest that mood and anxiety disorders were frequently observed among inpatients, particularly in female patients and those with an individual history of psychiatric disorder. Successful treatment of these disorders may positively contribute to the course of the disease in inpatients. However, this assumption should be confirmed by further studies. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc.
