Abstract

Objectives : In many studies, somatization symptoms have been proposed to predict treatment outcome of depressive disorders and reported to have a strong relationship with depressive disorders. The aim of the study was to identify demographic and clinical characteristics related to somatization symptoms in patients with depressive disorders.
Method : A total of 115 patients who had met the DSM-IV criteria for nonpsychotic depressive disorders were recruited and completed the self-administered scales of depressive, anxiety and somatization symptoms and the degree of rumination. Pearson’s correlation test and t-test were carried out to identify factors that might influence somatization symptoms. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to determine factors that have an independent correlation with somatization symptoms.
Results : Among demographic and clinical variables, somatization symptoms were related to gender, depression, anxiety, ruminative response and anger rumination. In multiple logistic regression analysis, only gender, depression and ruminative response had a significant influence on somatization symptoms.
Conclusion : In this study, these finding focused on ruminative response that might contribute to somatization symptoms in patients with depressive disorders. Ruminative response might be an important factor predicting the treatment outcome of depression.
