Özet
Aim: To reveal the frequency of depressive symptoms according to the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) in students of a medical school and the relationship between BDI and socio-demographic characteristics, dominant hand, and exposure to violence. Methods: The population of the study included 213 of 347 (61.4%) students training in the Medical School of Düzce University during the 2009-2010 education year. The questionnaires were implemented under supervision. Results: The mean age of the students that participated in the study was 20.5 ±2.24. Of the students, 33 (15.5%) declared that their income was low, 12 (5.6%) had received depression therapy before, 13 (6.1%) were left handed, and 9 (42%) stated that they had been exposed to violence. Mean BDI score was 8.12±7.76 in males and 7.92±7.36 in females. The difference was not statistically significant Of the students, 24 (11.7%) were depressive. Being depressive was related to previous depression therapy, low income, playing sports regularly, exposure to violence, and being left handed in females. Conclusion: To determine the income of students, to supply appropriate support to those who need it, and to prevent behavior determined as violent by students may be useful to reduce depressive symptoms in students.
