Abstract

BACKGROUND: A literature review did not reveal any study investigating the prevalence of depression among Plastic Surgery residents.
METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional mail survey and included all Saudi Plastic Surgery residents in our local program in Saudi Arabia. The Beck depression Inventory II was used.
RESULTS: The inventory showed that mild, moderate, and severe Depressive Symptoms were prevalent in 20.6%, 38.2%, and 11.8%, respectively. Junior residents were more prone to depression.
CONCLUSIONS: The high prevalence rate of depression among Plastic Surgery residents is alarming, and further studies are warranted. The problem has received no attention in the Plastic Surgery literature.
