Abstract:Objective To explore the correlation of patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) with emotional intelligence and automatic thinking in patients with depression. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 86 patients with depression admitted to the psychological outpatient department of Huaibei People’s Hospital, Anhui Province from April to December 2021. All patients were investigated by PHQ-9, emotional intelligence scale (EIS), and automatic thinking questionnaire (ATQ). According to PHQ-9 score, depression patients were divided into mild, moderate, moderate, and severe group. EIS score and ATQ score of the four groups were compared, and the related factors affecting the severity of depression patients were analyzed by orderly logistic regression analysis. The relationship between PHQ-9 score, EIS score, and ATQ score in patients with depression were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results There were significant differences in EIS and ATQ scores among all groups (P<0.05). EIS scores of severe, moderate, and moderate groups were lower than that of mild group, ATQ score was higher than that of mild group; the EIS scores of severe and moderate severe groups were lower than that of moderate group, and the ATQ score was higher than that of moderate group; the EIS score of severe group was lower than that of moderate to severe group, and the ATQ score was higher than that of moderate to severe group, with statistical significances (P<0.05). Orderly logistic regression analysis showed that EIS and ATQ scores were risk factors affecting the severity of depression patients (OR[95%CI]: 3.412[3.125-3.717], 3.171[2.984-3.358], P<0.05). The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation of PHQ-9 scores with EIS and ATQ scores (P>0.05). Conclusion Both EIS score and ATQ score are risk factors that affect the severity of depression. Therefore, interventions to improve emotional intelligence and automatic thinking can be further explored to enrich the clinical treatment of depression.
