RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS) is a three-item instrument that measures disability in three inter-related domains: work, family life/home responsibilities and social/leisure activities. The main objective of the present study was to examine the factor structure, reliability and construct validity of the SDS in a wide Spanish sample of primary care (PC) patients.
One phase cross-sectional survey. A total of 3815 patients, aged 18 years or older attending PC for a medical visit, were interviewed between October 2005 and March 2006. The interviews included the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I Disorders for depressive and anxiety disorders, the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview for the rest of mental disorders, a medical conditions checklist, the 2.0 version of the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12) for measuring quality of life and the SDS.
The principal component analysis and the subsequent confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the SDS is one-dimensional (normed fit index = 0.990, non-normed fit index = 0.987, comparative fit index = 0.991, goodness-of-fit index = 0.993, standardized root mean-square residual = 0.037, root mean-square error of approximation = 0.053). The internal consistency of the scale was good (α = 0.83) and it was significantly associated with the physical and mental component of the SF-12. Concerning discriminative validity, patients with major depression or panic disorder scored higher on the SDS than patients with chronic medical conditions or with no chronic pathology. We also found that a cut-off point of 8 in the SDS adequately discriminated between patients with and without depression (area under the curve = 0.814, sensitivity = 81.60%, specificity = 70.60%).
The SDS seems a reliable, valid and useful clinical tool for measuring disability in Spanish PC patients.
背景、目的和目标:Sheehan 残疾量表(SDS)是一种三项目工具,用于测量工作、家庭生活/家庭责任和社会/休闲活动三个相互关联的领域的残疾程度。本研究的主要目的是在广泛的西班牙初级保健(PC)患者样本中检验 SDS 的因子结构、信度和构念效度。
一项单阶段横断面调查。2005 年 10 月至 2006 年 3 月期间,对 3815 名年龄在 18 岁或以上、因医疗就诊而在 PC 就诊的患者进行了访谈。访谈包括 DSM-IV 轴 I 障碍的结构化临床访谈,用于抑郁和焦虑障碍;其余精神障碍的 Mini-国际神经精神访谈;医疗状况检查表;用于测量生活质量的 12 项短式健康调查(SF-12)第 2.0 版和 SDS。
主成分分析和随后的验证性因子分析表明,SDS 是单维的(标准化拟合指数=0.990,非标准化拟合指数=0.987,比较拟合指数=0.991,拟合优度指数=0.993,标准化均方根残差=0.037,均方根误差逼近=0.053)。该量表的内部一致性良好(α=0.83),与 SF-12 的身体和心理成分显著相关。关于判别效度,患有重性抑郁症或惊恐障碍的患者在 SDS 上的得分高于患有慢性疾病或无慢性疾病的患者。我们还发现,SDS 的 8 分切点可充分区分抑郁患者和非抑郁患者(曲线下面积=0.814,敏感性=81.60%,特异性=70.60%)。
SDS 似乎是一种可靠、有效和有用的临床工具,可用于测量西班牙 PC 患者的残疾程度。
