This study was conducted to determine the validity of the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) (Malay version) as a case-finding instrument for depression among women in a primary care clinic.
A cross sectional study was conducted in a primary care clinic in Malaysia. Consecutive adult women patients who attended the clinic during data collection were given self-administered questionnaires, which included the PHQ-9 (Malay version). Systematic weighted random sampling was used to select participants for Composite International Diagnostic Interviews (CIDI). The PHQ-9 was validated against the CIDI reference standard.
The response rate was 87.5% for the questionnaire completion (895/1023), and 96.8% for the CIDI interviews (151/156). The prevalence of depression was 12.1% (based on PHQ-9 scores of 10 and above). The PHQ-9 had a sensitivity of 87% (95% confidence interval 71% to 95%), a specificity of 82% (74% to 88%), positive LR 4.8 (3.2 to 7.2) and negative LR 0.16 (0.06 to 0.40).
The Malay version of the PHQ-9 was found to be a valid and reliable case-finding instrument for depression in this study. Together with its brevity, it is a suitable case-finding instrument to be used in Malaysian primary care clinics.
本研究旨在确定9项患者健康问卷(PHQ - 9)(马来语版本)作为基层医疗诊所女性抑郁症筛查工具的有效性。
在马来西亚的一家基层医疗诊所进行了一项横断面研究。在数据收集期间到诊所就诊的成年女性患者连续接受了包括PHQ - 9(马来语版本)在内的自填式问卷。采用系统加权随机抽样法选择参与者进行综合国际诊断访谈(CIDI)。以CIDI作为参考标准对PHQ - 9进行验证。
问卷完成率为87.5%(895/1023),CIDI访谈率为96.8%(151/156)。抑郁症患病率为12.1%(基于PHQ - 9得分10分及以上)。PHQ - 9的灵敏度为87%(95%置信区间71%至95%),特异度为82%(74%至88%),阳性似然比为4.8(3.2至7.2),阴性似然比为0.16(0.06至0.40)。
在本研究中,PHQ - 9马来语版本被发现是一种有效且可靠的抑郁症筛查工具。因其简短,它是适用于马来西亚基层医疗诊所的筛查工具。
