This study is an attempt to investigate validity and reliability of the Persian version of Death Depression Scale among male and female nurses at Jundishapur University of Medical Science and 2 private hospitals in Ahvaz, Iran, who were selected by a convenience sampling method after obtaining informed consent. They completed the Death Depression Scale-Revised (DDS-R), Death Anxiety Scale, Death Obsession Scale, as well as Short-Form of Beck Depression Questionnaire (BDI-13). The results of exploratory factor analysis on DDS-R identified 3 factors. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.93 for the entire measure (19 items), with alphas ranging from .80 to .94 for the individual factors. Indices of concurrent validity for this scale with Death Anxiety, Death Obsession Scales, and BDI-13 were all significant (p < 0.001). Given the validity and reliability of the DDS-R, this scale can be used in clinical settings and research studies.
本研究旨在调查伊朗阿瓦士的军迪沙普尔医科大学及两家私立医院的男女护士中，波斯语版死亡抑郁量表的有效性和可靠性。这些护士是在获得知情同意后，采用便利抽样法选取的。他们完成了修订版死亡抑郁量表（DDS-R）、死亡焦虑量表、死亡强迫观念量表以及贝克抑郁问卷简版（BDI-13）。对DDS-R进行探索性因素分析的结果确定了3个因素。整个量表（19个项目）的克朗巴哈α系数为0.93，各单个因素的α系数在0.80至0.94之间。该量表与死亡焦虑量表、死亡强迫观念量表以及BDI-13的同时效度指标均具有显著性（p < 0.001）。鉴于DDS-R的有效性和可靠性，该量表可用于临床环境和研究。
