Abstract
BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are thought to be one of the most common emotional problems in adolescents. Depression is under recognized among adolescents because depressive symptoms are considered a familiar part of adolescent experience. AIM OF THE STUDY: A quasi-experimental study to assess the efficacy of School Based Depression Prevention Programme on depression and anxiety among adolescents in selected rural schools in Melur was carried out. METHODOLOGY: Non- probability sampling technique was employed to recruit adolescents in the age group of 13-17 years .Beck depression inventory and anxiety rating scales were used to assess the depression and anxiety level. School Based Depression Prevention Programme for students comprised of 10 sessions lasting for 1hour per day over 4 weeks and one session for parents and teachers was carried out. RESULTS: Findings showed that in pre- test 16 (53%) adolescents were in moderate level and 14(47%)were in severe level of depression and 8 (27%) adolescents were in mild level,16 (53%) were moderate level and 6 (20%) were in severe level of anxiety whereas in the post- test none of them were in severe level of depression and anxiety .But in the control group ,depression and anxiety level remained unchanged. The mean post- test depression and anxiety score (19.1and9.0) of the experimental group was lower than the mean post - test depression and anxiety score (27 and 13.7) of the control group (P < 0.001) level. There was a significant positive relationship between depression and anxiety (r =0.9, P < 0.001 level). CONCLUSION: The study suggested that the school based depression prevention programme can be used effectively to treat both depressive and anxious adolescents.
