Descripción: Abstract Introduction: Depression is one of the most common and serious disorders thatthreaten human physical and psychological health. The incidence of depression innurses who work in special wards compared to general wards has been debated fora longtime. In this study, we planned to compare the rate of depression and relatedfactors between these two groups.Materials & Methods: Questionnaires about demographic factors, duration of dailywork time and marital status were distributed randomly among 200 nurses workingin special wards and 200 nurses working in general wards in 3 hospitals affiliatedto Shahid Beheshti University (Modarres, Taleghani, Shohadaye Tajrish hospitals) inthe summer and autumn 2006. The causes of admission of the patients weredetermined to assess their role in the occurrence of depression. To analyzedepression, Beck depression inventory (BDI) score was used and the relatedintervening factors were compared between the two groups.Results: The two groups were similar in sex (p=0.12), duration of daily work time(p=0.18) and marital status (p=0.23). The major cause of admission in special wardswas malignancy (33.3 %) which was significantly higher than the rate of cancerpatients in general wards (7.8%, p=0.03) (Table 1)Mean BDI score in special wards’ nurses and in general wards’ nurses was 9.3±7.36 and1±6.66, respectively.Conclusion: All nurses had some degrees of anxiety and stress, but there was nosignificant difference in the incidence of depression; however, it seems that exposureto numerous stressful experiences over a life time of nursing and a lack of controlover these experiences contributed to the high level of anxiety and depression seenin all nursing groups. Although the intensive wards’ nurses were more involved withcancer patients compared to general wards’ nurses, the rate of depression did notshow any significant differences in the two groups. Therefore, dealing with hopelesscancer patients did not increase the rate of depression in intensive wards’ nursingstuff and the intensive care environment does not seem to be more stressful fornursing staff in comparison with general care units.Keywords: anxiety, CCU, depression, ICU, nurse cancer, IranReferences 1.Demaso DR, Masek Bj, Wetzel K, Lang P.
