“…This in line with the findings of other researchers, where most of the participants (84-94%) were unaware of facts of scabies. [9,[16][17][18] This also justifies that the 5.1% of prevalence of scabies in the current study is the combined effect of contribution of inadequate awareness about scabies as a disease, its prevention, overcrowding, kaccha houses and, poor hygiene as observed by the researcher. Thus, there is a huge need for awareness on scabies in the study population.…”

Scabies is one of the commonest dermatological conditions accounting for a substantial proportion of skin disease in developing countries. [1] Globally, it is estimated to affect more than 200 million people at any time, although further efforts are needed to assess this burden. [2] In India, approximately 13-59% of people has been affected yearly especially among tribal area. [2][3][4] Scabies is a contagious skin condition resulting from the infestation of a mite, Sarcoptic scabies. It burrows within the skin and causes severe itching. The disease is most found in people living in substandard hygienic conditions, overcrowding, and people who are sexually active. [1,6] Although it varies according to the socio-cultural and socio-economic status of the societies, it can be seen in all races, age groups and both genders. The rate of spread of disease may vary

Purpose This study aims to determine the prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress among TIIDM patients in Mogadishu, Somalia, and identify predicting factors, as there is limited research on these disorders in Somalia. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted on adult patients with TIIDM from November 2023 to January 2024 at Erdogan Hospital, in the capital city of Somalia. A total of 360 participants were recruited using the systematic sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaires on sociodemographic, clinical and behavioral characteristics. The depression, anxiety, and stress scale (DASS-21) questionnaire was used to assess symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify variables predicted by the outcome variables. Results Out of the 360 participants included in this study, 44.7%, 55.0%, and 30.3% had depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, respectively. A lack of regular exercise (AOR = 1.79; 95% CI: 1.14–2.79) and an illness duration of 4–7 years (AOR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.16–3.23) were statistically associated with depression. Being female (AOR = 2.07; 95% CI: 1.31–3.28), having ≥9 children (AOR = 1.94; 95% CI: 1.07–3.53), and a lack of regular exercise (AOR = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.01–2.45) were statistically associated with anxiety. A lack of regular exercise (AOR = 2.07; 95% CI: 1.31–3.28), having DM complications (AOR = 2.14; 95% CI: 1.01–4.54), an illness duration of 4–7 years (AOR = 2.22; 95% CI: 1.25–3.94), and DM management non-compliance (AOR = 2.74; 95% CI: 1.20–6.26) were statistically associated with stress. Conclusions This study found that TIIDM patients had moderately high rates of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms, with a lack of physical activity associated with increased odds of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. Healthcare workers should screen for psychological symptoms, provide interventions, monitor sedentary patients, and encourage adherence to treatment and physical exercise to reduce mental health burden.
