About this study
According to the statistics released by the Department of Health,Executive Yuan in 2005,depression, cancer and AIDS will become the three main diseases of the 21st century.The prevalence of depression is 5.8% for males and 9.5% for women in the worldwide total population each year.Depression ranks second next to cardiovascular disease and impacts on social and economic burdens.From the perspectives of prevalence,suicide rate,loss of workforce,family burden,co-morbidities and health care expenses,the issues related to caring for patients with depression should not be overlooked.Communication is often neglected while exploring the issues of caring for depressed patients,which can consequently affect their family,work performance,social interaction,and even leads to a risk of suicide.Therefore,in order to enhance their psychological adjustment and health management,it is particularly important to achieve effective communications.
