Abstract
This was a cross-sectional study investigated the degree of depression among students of Islamic Azad University living in Takestan, Abhar, and Bouin-Zahra dormitories. A total of 407 male and female students were included in the present study performed in 2009. The Beck questionnaire was used as the measuring tool to collect data. The proposed theories were examined by statistical tests including chi square test, Mann Whitney test, Somers’ D, Pearson’s, and Kendall’s correlation coefficients. Our data showed that 18.2% of students suffered from severe depression. The depression rate in Takestan, Abhar, and Bouin-Zahra dormitories was, 17.5, 14.7, and 21.9%, respectively. There was no significant difference in depression rate between the students of three dormitories. However, a significant correlation between the degree of depression and the conditions of dormitory was found (P=0.001).
