The reliability, validity, and temporal stability of the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) were studied in sixty-nine elderly patients who had their broken hips surgically repaired. The GDS demonstrated internal consistency reliability and concurrent validity with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale. In addition, the GDS was stable across the hospital stay and thus appeared to be less influenced by the patients' acute health status.
对69名接受过髋部骨折手术修复的老年患者，研究了老年抑郁量表（GDS）的信度、效度和时间稳定性。GDS显示出与汉密尔顿抑郁评定量表具有内部一致性信度和同时效度。此外，GDS在住院期间保持稳定，因此似乎受患者急性健康状况的影响较小。
