However， there is a lack of understanding regarding the mental health status of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region.Objective To analyze the anxiety and depression of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region， so as to provide references for promoting their mental health and intervening in psychological problems.Methods From October 23 to 28， 2022， a total of 3 096 employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region were enrolled using stratified cluster sampling technique， and were assessed using Self-rating Anxiety Scale （SAS） and Self-rating Depression Scale （SDS）.Results A total of 1797 （58.04%） employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region completed a valid questionnaire survey. Depressive symptoms were noted in 579 （32.22%）. SDS scores yielded statistical difference among the selected employees of different ethnicities， types of job positions and educational levels （F=9.074， 101.488， 4.477， P<0.01）， and the severity of depressive symptoms also demonstrated statistical difference among the selected employees with different ethnicities， educational levels and types of job positions （H=49.196， 17.028， 160.848， P<0.01）. Anxiety symptoms were detected in 711 （39.57%） employees. SAS scores exhibited statistical difference among the employees with different genders， ages， ethnicities， educational levels， marital status and types of job positions （t=-4.571， F=6.648， 3.950， 5.243， 12.008， 22.253， P<0.01）. Statistical differences were also illustrated in the severity of anxiety symptoms among the selected employees with different ages， genders， ethnicities， educational levels， marital status and types of job positions （H=24.361， -3.788， 28.365， 24.268， 25.976， 56.204， P<0.01）.Conclusion About one-third of employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region may have symptoms of depression and anxiety. The depression symptoms are more severe among Tibetan people， those with low education levels and ordinary civil servants.
