Predictors of Depression in Iranian Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Community Mental Health Journal 2018 November
Depression is a major complication of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Lifestyle modification can prevent it. This study aimed to determine the predictors of depression in women with PCOS. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 174 women who attended in infertility clinics in Urmia-Iran, 2015. The data were collected through socio-demographic, Beck Depression Inventory-II and Health Promoting Lifestyle Profile-2 questionnaires. The mean (standard deviation) of total score of the depression was obtained 27.4 (10.5) in the range 0-63. The mean (SD) of total score of the health promoting lifestyle was obtained 2.2 (0.3) out of 4. Based on multivariate linear regression, the variables of nutrition, interpersonal relationships, spiritual growth, stress management, BMI, the perceived stress of the disease, the first supporter and menstrual bleeding were predictors of the depression. Given the high prevalence of depression in PCOS patients and its relationship with health-promoting behaviors, lifestyle modification to reduce depression is necessary.
