Abstract

To determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety among otolaryngology outpatients at Jordan University Hospital. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted between January 2017 and February 2018. The sample included 1328 otolaryngology adult outpatients, who completed (PHQ-9) and (GAD-7) questionnaires for depression and anxiety. Sociodemographic and clinical data were recorded. Depression and anxiety prevalence rates were 36.1% and 22.9%. The significant risk factors found for them were: age range 30 to 50 years, female sex, divorced status, smoking, alcohol drinking, asthma, family history of psychiatric illness, chronic illnesses, negative life events, secondary education, unemployment, low income, globus pharyngeus, tinnitus, and dizziness. Healthcare providers should have the vigilance to suspect and treat these disorders to improve patients' symptoms and quality of life.
