Abstract

The study aims to determine the prevalence and level of depression among the MDR-TB patients and the prevailing factor of their depression. Sixty-six tuberculosis (TB) patients consented to be screened for depression using PHQ-9 out of 143 active TB patients enrolled in De La Salle Health Sciences Institute Center for Tuberculosis Research in the year 2013-2014. The 49 TB patients who showed symptoms of depression answered the Factors of Depression survey questionnaire. The result showed that the prevalence of depression among the patients was 78.79%. Physiological (p=0.0001) and Economical (0.0001) are the prevailing factors that influence TB patients to experience symptoms of depression. TB patients perceived substantial problems, such as financial and physical conditions, harder to endure than the socio-emotional and spiritual aspects. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the recommended intervention to change their dysfunctional thinking about their physical functioning. This will help improve their physiological state by providing a healthier condition for them to adhere to the treatment.
