Abstract :
The research is aimed at analyzing the effect
of mental health status on socio-economic development
in Kigali. With objectives to evaluate mental health,
assess socio-economic development, and determine
whether there is a significant Effect of mental health
status on Socio-economic development in Masoro cell.
Testing the following research hypotheses: H0. There is
no significant the effect of mental health on socioeconomic development in Masoro cell and H1. There is
significant the contribution of mental health status on
socio-economic development in Masoro cell. The results
of the analyses did not support the null hypothesis that
mental health has no significant effect on socioeconomic
development. The p-values obtained were 0.92 and 0.4
respectively. Instead, the alternative analysis was
favored, indicating that mental health status has a
significant effect on socioeconomic development.
Research design utilized by the researcher is descriptive
for this research. Using random sampling technique,
residents of Masoro cell are selected as respondents
representing households. Questionnaire and
documentary are used as data collection techniques
while the researcher conducted a desk review at the
Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital Caraes Ndera near Masoro
that provides mental health services for residents. The
researcher employed bivariate and multivariate ordinal
logistic regression techniques to investigate the
connection between the dependent (socioeconomic
development) and independent variable (mental health).
Based on the results, the conclusion of the researcher
states there is an optimistic correlation between mental
health and socioeconomic development. Increase or
Good mental health, will lead to good socioeconomic
development. After adjusting for other covariates, the
fitted model was good at estimating 65.7% of the change
in the dependent variable, p<0.05. The effect of
mental health on socioeconomic development also
increased from 3.8 to 7.5. The results show that
improved mental health status is positively associated
with socioeconomic development.
