Psychological distress in the general Ghanaian population ishigh, with 18.7% of the sample reported either moderate (11.7%) orsevere (7.0%) psychological distress (Sipsma et al., 2013). Amonguniversity students, however, few studies in Ghana had measureddepressive levels explicitly. For example, Atindanbila and Abasimi(2011) despite using the Beck Depression Inventory, did not statethe levels of depression in their sample when examining therelationship between depression and coping strategies amongstudents in the University of Ghana. Nevertheless, the authorsindicated that 16.1% of the students showed signs of mild depression (Atindanbila and Abasimi, 2011). Similarly, Nyarko andAmissah (2014) used the BDI but did not reveal the prevalenceof depression. The focus of their study was to examine possiblerelationship between cognitive distortions and depression amongselected university students in Ghana.
