    Aims: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating disease that presents with a chronic fluctuating course of multi-systemic symptoms. The purpose of this study was to examine chronic fatigue syndrome and depression, experienced by senior students attending Diyarbaki{dotless}r Dicle University, to investigate the factors involved in the development of CFS and depression and to shed light on preventive measures that can be taken to overcome CFS, with the help of the collected data. Methods: The study was conducted in Dicle University Campus between January and April 2012 and 525 students participated in the study. The questionnaire, used for this study, included 22 questions regarding the participants' demographic features, working conditions, habits and activities and a 17-item extracted from the HAM-D scale (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale), and the CFS evaluation criterias of the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention). In order to analyze the data, Student's t-test, Chi-square (Fisher's exact) test, One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Pearson correlation test and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: Of all the students, 2% of them (n=11) were found to suffer from CFS. CFS was found to be more prevalent among females. Minor depressive symptoms were found to occur in 92 students (18%), and 20 students (4%) had major depressive symptoms. Gender, non-relaxing sleep, social life and person's perception of their health status were found to have a relationship with CFS. The CFS cases were found to have a higher HAM-D scale value. Conclusion: The school stress experienced by the students and their social life experiences are influential on depression and on the development of CFS. For this reason, the guidance departments and social support units of universities must be improved, in order to prevent CFS.

    (2010) Erdem Ö.; Erten Bucaktepe P.G.; Özen Ş.; Kara I.H.
    Purpose: In this study, we aimed to determine the change in depression and anxiety levels of mothers during prepartum and postpartum periods. Methods: Among the mothers who admitted Dicle University Hospital in their third trimester between June 2008 and January 2009 and did not have any physical disorder were enrolled in the study. After their initial evaluation during the third trimester the mothers were re-evaluated in their second and third month after birth. Results: Mean age of the mothers was 28.2±4.2 years. Prepartum and postpartum evaluations of the mothers with BDI revealed 31% and 29% depression ratios, respectively. According to the STAI-I when evaluated at prepartum and postpartum periods, 47% and 49% of the mother were significantly anxious. It was 71% and 63% for prepartum and postpartum evaluations with STAI-II, respectively. There were statistically significant difference between prepartum and postpartum periods in terms of upper threshold of the BDI and STAI-II scores (p=0.002 and p=0.014). Conclusion: Mothers seem to be under as high risk for depression and anxiety at prepartum period as they are at postpartum period. In general, the mothers who had higher levels of depression and anxiety before delivery tend to have also higher levels at postpartum period. © 2010 Düzce Medical Journal.
