 HADS questionare from the web A lower HADS number is better

Highlights
•The effectiveness of omega-3 PUFAs for prevention of depression was examined.
•Eighty nurses were randomly allocated to omega-3 or placebo for 13 weeks.
•Information about depression, anxiety and presenteeism was collected up to 52 weeks.
•No clinically important difference was comfirmed between two intervention arms.

The efficacy of omega-3 fatty acids for maintaining a better mental state has not been examined among working populations. We aimed to explore the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acids for hospital nurses. In a multi-center randomized trial, 80 junior nurses were randomly allocated to either omega-3 fatty acids (1200 mg/day of eicosapentaenoic acid and 600 mg/day of docosahexaenoic acid) or identical placebo pills for 13 weeks. The primary outcome was the total score of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), determined by a blinded rater at week 26 from the study enrollment.
Secondary outcomes included the

  • total score of the HADS at 13 and 52 weeks;
  • incidence of a major depressive episode;
  • severity of depression, anxiety, insomnia, burnout, and
  • presenteeism;
  • utility scores; and
  • adverse events at 13, 26 and 52 weeks.

The mean HADS score at baseline was 7.2.
At 26 weeks, adjusted mean scores on the HADS were

  • 6.32 (95% CIs of standard errors: 5.13, 7.52) in the intervention and
  • 6.81 (5.57, 8.05) in the placebo groups, respectively.

The coefficient of the group by time interaction was not statistically significant at 0.58 (−1.35, 2.50; P = 0.557).
Although the intervention group showed

  • significant superiority on the HADS score at 52 weeks,
  • depression severity at 52 weeks,
  • insomnia severity at 13 weeks, and
  • absolute presenteeism at 26 weeks,
    • no significant superiority or inferiority was observed on the other outcomes.

The additive value of omega-3 fatty acids was not confirmed regarding mental state and self-evaluated work efficiency.
