dc.description.abstractAims: 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 Diyarbakir 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.en_US
