Abstract
Background: Patients who are admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are in critical condition, and because of their illness, they often struggle with mental health problems such as depression. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of depression experienced by critically ill patients after they were admitted to the ICU.
The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of depression among critically sick patients who were admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU).
Methodology: A random sampling technique was used to select 50 critically ill patients from the intensive care unit (ICU), and a cross-sectional research design was utilised in order to determine the prevalence of depression among critically ill patients at K.H. & M.R.C. using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). During the course of the investigation, both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were utilised.
Result: The findings of this investigation revealed that 19 of the samples, or 38 percent, belonged to the age group of 41 to 60 years, 18 of the samples, or 36 percent, belonged to the age group of 21 to 40 years, and 13 of the samples, or 26 percent, belonged to the age group of 61 to 80 years. In the study, there were a total of 29 male participants (58%) and 21 female participants (42%). 18 out of the sample, or 36%, had completed primary school, 13 out of the sample, or 26%, had completed high school, and 6 out of the sample, or 12%, were illiterate. The mean score was 18.64, and that indicates that the majority of the people in the study sample were suffering from severe depression.
Conclusion: Patients in critical condition who were admitted to the intensive care unit often suffered from mental health conditions such as depression.
