Depression is associated with absenteeism and presentism, problems in workplace relationships and loss of productivity and quality. The present work describes the validation of a web-based system for the assessment of depression in the university work context. The basis of the system is the Spanish version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II). A total of 185 participants completed the BDI-II web-based assessment, including 88 males and 97 females, 70 faculty members and 115 staff members. A high level of internal consistency reliability was confirmed. Based on the results of our web-based BDI-II, no significant differences were found in depression severity between gender, age or workers' groups. The main depression risk factors reported were: "Changes in sleep", "Loss of energy", "Tiredness or fatigue" and "Loss of interest". However significant differences were found by gender in "Changes in appetite", "Difficulty of concentration" and "Loss of interest in sex"; males expressed less loss of interest in sex than females with a statistically significant difference. Our results indicate that the data collected is coherent with previous BDI-II studies. We conclude that the web-based system based on the BDI-II is psychometrically robust and can be used to assess depression in the university working community.
抑郁症与旷工和出勤主义、工作场所人际关系问题以及生产力和质量下降有关。本研究描述了一个用于评估大学工作环境中抑郁症的基于网络的系统的验证。该系统的基础是贝克抑郁量表(BDI-II)的西班牙语版本。共有 185 名参与者完成了基于网络的 BDI-II 评估,包括 88 名男性和 97 名女性、70 名教师和 115 名员工。内部一致性可靠性得到了高度确认。根据我们基于网络的 BDI-II 的结果,在性别、年龄或工人群体之间,抑郁严重程度没有发现显著差异。报告的主要抑郁风险因素是:“睡眠变化”、“精力丧失”、“疲倦或疲劳”和“兴趣丧失”。然而,在“食欲变化”、“注意力集中困难”和“对性失去兴趣”方面,性别存在显著差异;与女性相比,男性对性失去兴趣的程度较低,具有统计学意义。我们的结果表明,所收集的数据与之前的 BDI-II 研究一致。我们得出结论,基于 BDI-II 的基于网络的系统具有心理测量学上的稳健性,可用于评估大学工作社区中的抑郁症。
