Abstract [en]

A survey comprising more than 2000 patients visiting primary care units during a 2-week period in November 2008 was carried out in the county of Västernorrland, Sweden. The results show that approximately 18.5 % of the patients came on account of psychological ill health, either as sole reason (1.5%) or in combination with other cause(s). Roughly 14.7 % (309) of these scored higher or equivalent to clinically meaningful cut off scores on scales measuring anxiety, depression and exhaustion (burnout). An additional 322 of the remaining sample (27 % of the females and 16 % of the males) had high scores on scales measuring psychological ill health.

 

Abstract [sv]

En enkätundersökning gjordes under två veckor hösten 2008 på över 2 000 patienter som besökte läkare i primärvården i Västernorrland.

Resultaten visar att 18,46 procent (371) angav psykisk ohälsa, antingen unikt (1,5 procent) eller i samband med annan problematik, som anledning till läkarbesöket.

Av dessa hade 309 (14,7 procent) också värden på skalor som mäter depression, ångest och utmattning som var över eller lika med gränsen för klinisk relevans.

Ytterligare 322 patienter av återstående urval (27 procent av kvinnorna och 16 procent av männen) skattade sin psykiska hälsa på likartat sätt.
