Descriptive analytical approach of women's depression based on age
Abstract
All people feel depression at some point in their lives. This feeling of depression occurs due to unfortunate events or negative feelings such as: losing a job, fighting with a friend, not getting a good grade in a class test, etc., and after a few days or weeks, the person returns to normal life. A depressed mood is one of the natural human reactions to life events but when this depressed mood continues, it leads to depression. Depression is one of the most common psychiatric disorders. According to a national study of diseases and injuries in Iran, depression is the third health problem in the country. The current study has investigated depression in women based on age by descriptive analytical approach. Beck Depression Inventory (21 questions form) was used in this study. The questionnaire was collected without name and secret and confidential. This section describes and analyses the research data. The data of the present study included depression scores of women according to their age. In order to describe the research data, we used average and standard variance, and standard deviation analysis was used to analyse the data. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the mean depression scores of individuals by age. The results showed that there was no statistically significant relationship between depression score and age.
