abstract="Recently in Japan, major depression, the depressive state, and suicide are increasing and becoming social problems. These problems should be solved by preventive intervention. For this purpose, we investigated depressive symptomatology and some relevant factors in a school for public health nurses in Hokkaido, Japan. Age, health-related factors, social supports, stressors, locis of control, coping styles, and depressive status were investigated in a cross-sectional survey. A total of 92 female students (mean age, 22.8 years) were surveyed and analyzed. After conducting univariate logistic regression analysis, we found that consciousness of stress and cognitive style were significantly associated with depressive symptomatology. All of these variables remained to significantly associated with depressive symptomatology even after multivariate logistic regression analysis. We found that cognitive style might have influenced depression in this group. Henceforth, we will extend our investigation of depression and relevant factors to other groups such as high school students.<p /><p>Language: ja</p>",
