摘要

Background : Depression in caregivers of leukaemic children is usually overlooked and hence missed, as doctors mostly focused on patient’s evaluation and condition. Early attention to symptoms of depression may help to prevent the development of a more serious depression over time. Aims : This study was conducted to estimate the prevalence, assess severity and identify determinants of depressive disorder among caregivers of children with leukaemia in Baghdad, Iraq, 2014. Methods : This cross sectional study was conducted on a convenience sample of caregivers of 250 leukaemia children aged 16 were considered depressed. Results : The prevalence of depression was 72% (95% CI: 66–77.5%); classified to 18.9% having borderline clinical depression, 36.7% moderate depression, 27.8% severe depression and 16.7% extreme depression. Presence of depression was significantly higher among younger age caregivers, disease duration of 12 months and frequent hospital admission. Conclusions : The high prevalence of depression among care givers of leukaemia patients urge health care professionals to pay more attention to the psychological aspects of the families of leukaemia patients and ensure referring them for psychiatric support.
