Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices among Healthcare Workers regarding Depression Care in Two Medium‐Sized Hospitals in Kenya

Abstract

HCWs demonstrated good knowledge of depression's symptoms and causes but lacked confidence in pharmacological management, with gaps in regular screening and comprehensive care practices, particularly among nonclinicians and less experienced staff. Focused training for these groups could enhance the early detection and treatment of depressed patients.
