The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the validity of a single-item, self-rated mental health (SRMH) measure in the identification of women at risk for depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Baseline data of 239 low-income women participating in an intimate partner violence (IPV) intervention study were analyzed. PTSD was measured with the Davidson Trauma Scale. Risk for depression was determined using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale. SRMH was assessed with a single item asking participants to rate their mental health at the time of the baseline interview. Single-item measures can be an efficient way to increase the proportion of patients screened for mental health disorders. Although SRMH is not a strong indicator of PTSD, it may be useful in identifying pregnant women who are at increased risk for depression and need further comprehensive assessment in the clinical setting. Future research examining the use of SRMH among high-risk populations is needed.
本研究的目的是评估一项单项自评心理健康（SRMH）测量工具在识别有抑郁症和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）风险的女性方面的有效性。对参与亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）干预研究的239名低收入女性的基线数据进行了分析。使用戴维森创伤量表测量PTSD。使用爱丁堡产后抑郁量表确定抑郁风险。通过一个单项来评估SRMH，该单项要求参与者在基线访谈时对自己的心理健康进行评分。单项测量可能是提高筛查心理健康障碍患者比例的一种有效方法。虽然SRMH不是PTSD的有力指标，但它可能有助于识别抑郁症风险增加且需要在临床环境中进行进一步综合评估的孕妇。需要开展未来研究以检验SRMH在高危人群中的使用情况。
