背景:乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)感染伴发抑郁症是一种常见的现象。建立精确并且有时效的工具,用以评估HBV患者抑郁症状,对研究和临床实践是非常重要的。目的:这项研究测试了抑郁症状快速评定量表自评版(QIDS-SR)在乙型肝炎患者中使用的心理测量学特性。方法:这项研究招募了245名患有乙型肝炎病毒和相关肝病的抑郁症患者。采用蒙特玛莉抑郁评定量表(MADRS)和QIDS-SR评估抑郁症状的严重程度。结果:QIDS-SR的内部一致性((Cronbachα)为0.796.其总分与MADRS总分显著相关r=0.698,p〈0.001)。探索性因素分析的QIDS-SR显示一维测量性能结论:QIDS-SR(中文版)在乙型肝炎患者中有良好的心理测量学特性,并且在评估临床抑郁症方面是有用的。
Background: Comorbid depression in Hepatitis B virus(HBV) is common. Developing accurate and timeefficient tools to measure depressive symptoms in HBV is important for research and clinical practice in China. Aims: This study tested the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the 16-item Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology(QIDS-SR) in HBV patients. Methods: The study recruited 245 depressed patients with HBV and related liver disease. The severity of depressive symptoms was assessed with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale(MADRS) and the QIDS-SR. Results: Internal consistency(Cronbach's alpha) was 0.796 for QIDS-SR. The QIDS-SR total score was significantly correlated with the MADRS total score(r=0.698, p0.001). The QIDS-SR showed unidimensional measurement properties in exploratory factor analysis. Conclusions: The QIDS-SR(Chinese version) has good psychometric properties in HBV patients and appears to be useful in assessing depression in clinical settings.
