Alcohol use and depression symptoms among female nursing students.
A sample of 286 female nursing students responded to questions concerning drinking practices and symptoms of depression. After controlling for the possibly confounding effects of nursing student experiences (aspects of burnout such as depersonalization and social isolation) and the sociodemographic characteristics of the students, increased quantity of alcohol consumed per drinking occasion was found to be associated with increased symptoms of depression in the sober state.
