Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı, Erzincan’daki depresyon tanılı hastalarda sosyo-ekonomik özellikler ile depresyon tedavi süresi arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmektir. Erzincan Binali Yıldırım Üniversitesi Mengücek Gazi Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Psikiyatri Polikliniğinde depresyon tanısı konulan hastalara yüz yüze anket uygulanmıştır. Söz konusu anket çalışması 311 depresyon hastasıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sıralı probit model ile analiz yapılmıştır. Anket uygulaması için Erzincan Binali Yıldırım Üniversitesi “İnsan Araştırmaları Etik Kurulu’ndan” 26.12.2019 tarih ve 12/18 protokol numarası ile izin alınmıştır. 3 yıldan fazla süren depresyon tedavisi gören hastalarda kadınların tedavi görme süreleri erkeklerden kısadır. Eğitim seviyesi arttıkça depresyon tedavi süresi kısalmaktadır. Aylık geliri yüksek olan hastaların düşük olan hastalara göre tedavi süreleri daha uzundur. Geniş ailelere sahip hastalarda tedavi süresi kısalmaktadır. Malvarlığı olmayan hastalarda tedavi süresi daha kısadır. 21 yıl ve daha fazla çalışan hastalarda depresyon tedavi süreleri hiç çalışmamış hastalara göre daha uzundur. Bu bulgular tedavi süresi 1yıl ve daha kısa olan sürelerde tam tersidir. Sosyoekonomik faktörler depresyon süreleri ile ilişkilidir. Ancak bu ilişki depresyon sürelerine göre farklılık gösterir.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between socio-economic characteristics and period of depression treatment in patients diagnosed with depression in Erzincan. Face-to-face questionnaire was performed to the patients diagnosed with depression in the Psychiatry Clinic of Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University Mengücek Gazi Training and Research Hospital. This questionnaire was performed to 311 patients diagnosed with depression. The analysis was performed using ordered probit model. For the questionnaire, 26.12.2019 dated and 12/18 protocol numbered "Human Research Ethics Committee" approval was obtained from Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University. The duration for the treatment was shorter in female patients treated for depression for more than 3 years rather than males. The duration of treatment for depression decreased as the level of education increased. The patients with higher monthly income had longer treatment periods rather than the ones with lower monthly income. The duration of treatment was shorter in patients with extended families. The duration of treatment was shorter in patients who had no assets. The period for depression treatment was longer in patients who worked for 21 years and more rather than the ones who had never been employed. These findings were totally opposite for the treatment period of 1 year and less. Socioeconomic factors were correlated with periods of depression. However, this relationship differed according to the duration of depression.
