| BACKGROUND: Depression is a debilitating disease which is caused by social and environmental factors in addition to genetic factors. University students are among the young and vulnerable population to depression and their population is increasing with increase in universities and higher education institutions. Therefore, any disturbance in student's mental and physical health is a serious threat for the next generation. In this study, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression and its related factors in students of School of Health and Nutrition at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences, Iran. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey on 175 students selected by stratified random sampling, educating in different fields at School of Health and Nutrition in 2009. The data collection tool was the short form of the standard Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) which is used for screening depression. The collected data were analyzed by software Stata Statistical Software, Release 10.0 (Stata Corporation, College Station, TX, USA). RESULTS: The results showed that 62.7% of the students had depression and from these 10.9% suffered from severe depression. Significantly higher depression rates were seen in students with worrisome about the future. Married students, those interested in their field of study, those performing prayers and regularly reading the Quran had significantly lower rates of depression. CONCLUSIONS: Due to the high prevalence of depression,screening strategies should be implemented to identify depressed students. Counseling services should be available and accessible to students at risk. |
