Abstract

Background: Depression is a psychiatric pathology. This study aims to determine the prevalence and depression-associated factors in patients with tuberculosis. Methodology: A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was conducted from April 30^th, 2021 to October 30^th, 2021. A questionnaire including sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, illness experience and the PHQ-9 scale was used to collect the data. A multivariate analysis was carried out using the R software. All the variables whose p values were less than 0.25 were taken into account. Then, by a top-down procedure, the least significant variables were removed one by one, and the comparison was the likelihood ratio test. Results: A total of 109 patients were surveyed. The average age of the respondents was 33.6 ± 12.6 years. The majority, 61.5% of the patients, was single. In our study, 37% of individuals had a PHQ-9 score between 5 and 9, which classified them as mild depression. A 6.10 times higher risk (ORaj= 6.10 [1.55-29.0]) of developing mild depression was found in patients with a chronic pathology (diabetes, HBP). Patients with a number of crosses higher than or equal to 3 had a 13.1 times greater risk of being depressed (ORaj= 13.1 [3.90-63.5]). Conclusion: Tuberculosis remains a major public health problem. This study allowed us to highlight the occurrence of depression in people with tuberculosis and the need to integrate a systematically psychological assessment in these people.
