This study estimates the psychometric properties of the Arabic GHQ-28 against the BDI-II for screening for depression in war-exposed civilians. Two data sets collected in a civilian sample from South Lebanon were analyzed. Internal consistency in the two samples was high for the GHQ-28 (0.91 and 0.80) and the BDI-II (0.88 and 0.84). The BDI-II was significantly correlated with the GHQ-28 total score and the Depression subscale. The GHQ-28 yielded similar findings for depression cut-off scores compared to the BDI-II: for the GHQ-28 total score, a cut-off at 5/6 is recommended for detecting "severe/moderate" depression, and 8/9 for "severe" only, while from the Depression subscale analysis the recommendation was to use 8/9 as a cutoff for "severe/moderate" and 9/10 for "severe" depression. The Arabic GHQ-28 was found to be a valid instrument for screening for depression in the studied population.
本研究评估了阿拉伯语版GHQ - 28相对于BDI - II在筛查经历战争的平民抑郁情况时的心理测量特性。对从黎巴嫩南部平民样本中收集的两个数据集进行了分析。GHQ - 28（0.91和0.80）和BDI - II（0.88和0.84）在两个样本中的内部一致性都很高。BDI - II与GHQ - 28总分及抑郁分量表显著相关。与BDI - II相比，GHQ - 28在抑郁临界值分数方面得出了类似的结果：对于GHQ - 28总分，建议以5/6作为检测“重度/中度”抑郁的临界值，8/9作为仅检测“重度”抑郁的临界值；而从抑郁分量表分析来看，建议以8/9作为“重度/中度”抑郁的临界值，9/10作为“重度”抑郁的临界值。研究发现，阿拉伯语版GHQ - 28是在所研究人群中筛查抑郁的有效工具。
