The Wish to be Dead Scale (WDS) was administered to a convenience sample of 200 Iranian psychiatric outpatients. Using a Principal Component Analysis, two factors were identified, labeled Lack of purpose in life (F1), and Lack of interest in living (F2). The WDS had good reliability and significant positive correlations with scores on the Beck Suicide Ideation Scale and with other measures of mental ill-health. This study provides evidence of the usefulness of the WDS for assessing psychiatric patients.
对200名伊朗精神科门诊患者的便利样本进行了死亡意愿量表（WDS）测试。通过主成分分析，确定了两个因素，分别标记为生活缺乏目标（F1）和对生活缺乏兴趣（F2）。WDS具有良好的信度，并且与贝克自杀意念量表得分以及其他精神健康不良指标呈显著正相关。本研究为WDS在评估精神科患者方面的有用性提供了证据。
