Depression greatly burdens sub-Saharan Africa, especially populations living with HIV/AIDS, for whom few validated depression scales exist. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a brief dual-purpose instrument yielding DSM-IV diagnoses and severity, and PHQ-2, an ultra-brief screening tool, offer advantages in resource-constrained settings.
To assess the validity/reliability of PHQ-9 and PHQ-2.
Observational, two occasions 7 days apart.
A total of 347 patients attending psychosocial support groups.
Demographics, PHQ-9, PHQ-2, general health perception rating and CD4 count.
Rates for PHQ-9 DSM-IV major depressive disorder (MDD), other depressive disorder (ODD) and any depressive disorder were 13%, 21% and 34%. Depression was associated with female gender, but not CD4. Construct validity was supported by: (1) a strong association between PHQ-9 and general health rating, (2) a single major factor with loadings exceeding 0.50, (3) item-total correlations exceeding 0.37 and (4) a pattern of item means similar to US validation studies. Four focus groups indicated culturally relevant content validity and minor modifications to the PHQ-9 instructions. Coefficient alpha was 0.78. Test-retest reliability was acceptable: (1) intraclass correlation 0.59 for PHQ-9 total score, (2) kappas 0.24, 0.25 and 0.38 for PHQ-9 MDD, ODD and any depressive disorder and (3) weighted kappa 0.53 for PHQ-9 depression severity categories. PHQ-2 > or =3 demonstrated high sensitivity (85%) and specificity (95%) for diagnosing any PHQ-9 depressive disorder (AUC, 0.97), and 91% and 77%, respectively, for diagnosing PHQ-9 MDD (AUC, 0.91). Psychometrics were also good within four gender/age (18-35, 36-61) subgroups.
PHQ-9 and PHQ-2 appear valid/reliable for assessing DSM-IV depressive disorders and depression severity among adults living with HIV/AIDS in western Kenya.
抑郁症给撒哈拉以南非洲地区带来了沉重负担,尤其是感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的人群,针对这部分人群的有效抑郁症量表很少。患者健康问卷-9(PHQ-9)是一种简短的两用工具,可得出《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第四版(DSM-IV)的诊断结果和严重程度,而PHQ-2是一种超简短筛查工具,在资源有限的环境中具有优势。
评估PHQ-9和PHQ-2的效度/信度。
观察性研究,两次测量间隔7天。
共有347名参加心理社会支持小组的患者。
人口统计学特征、PHQ-9、PHQ-2、总体健康感知评分和CD4细胞计数。
PHQ-9诊断为DSM-IV重度抑郁症(MDD)、其他抑郁症(ODD)和任何抑郁症的比例分别为13%、21%和34%。抑郁症与女性性别相关,但与CD4细胞计数无关。结构效度得到以下方面支持:(1)PHQ-9与总体健康评分之间存在强关联;(2)单一主要因子的载荷超过0.50;(3)项目与总分的相关性超过0.37;(4)项目均值模式与美国验证研究相似。四个焦点小组表明PHQ-9的内容效度与文化相关,并对PHQ-9的指导语进行了细微修改。克朗巴哈系数为0.78。重测信度可以接受:(1)PHQ-9总分的组内相关系数为0.59;(2)PHQ-9的MDD、ODD和任何抑郁症的卡帕值分别为0.24、0.25和0.38;(3)PHQ-9抑郁症严重程度分类的加权卡帕值为0.53。PHQ-2≥3对于诊断任何PHQ-9抑郁症具有高敏感性(85%)和高特异性(95%)(曲线下面积[AUC]为0.97),对于诊断PHQ-9的MDD分别为91%和77%(AUC为0.91)。在四个性别/年龄(18 - 35岁、36 - 61岁)亚组中,心理测量学指标也良好。
PHQ-9和PHQ-2对于评估肯尼亚西部感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病成年人的DSM-IV抑郁症及抑郁症严重程度似乎有效/可靠。
