รายละเอียด / Details:

The associations of demographic characteristics and psychosocial factors with psychiatric illness were assessed in a random sample of 826 adults in Nonchok district, Bangkok, Thailand. Multi logistic regression analyses showed that psychiatric illness was correlated most strongly with income, family relationship and serious illness in family members. The group with no income or income less than 2,000 bath per month were 3.67 times more likely to have psychiatric illness, while the group with distant or severely conflicted family relationship and the group with serious illness in family members during the past year were 2.93 and 2.47 times more likely to have psychiatric illness. Other factors that were found to be correlated with psychiatric illness were health status, psychiatric disorders in family members, problems concerning work or school, low education, and Bhudists in comparison with Islamics. The implications of the findings are discussed.
