Objectives: The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was specifically created to assess depression in cancer patients. However, to date, the CES-D has not been validated in Farsi. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the CES-D in Iranian cancer patients. Methods: During a three-month period (October to December, 2015), a total of 380 cancer patients completed a Farsi version of the CES-D. The construct validity of the scale was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald Omega. All of the statistical procedure were run by SPSS 22 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The construct validity of the CES-D determined three factors (somatic affect, negative affect, and positive affect), which explained 65.60% of the total variance. The internal consistency was greater than 0.70. Conclusion: Findings revealed that the Farsi version of the CES-D has acceptable validity and reliability, which can be used to measure depression in Iranian cancer patients.
流行病学研究中心抑郁量表（CES-D）是专门为评估癌症患者的抑郁情况而编制的。然而，迄今为止，CES-D尚未在波斯语中得到验证。因此，本研究旨在评估CES-D在伊朗癌症患者中的心理测量特性。方法：在2015年10月至12月的三个月期间，共有380名癌症患者完成了波斯语版的CES-D。通过探索性因素分析评估量表的结构效度。使用克朗巴赫α系数和麦克唐纳ω系数评估信度。所有统计程序均由SPSS 22（美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市SPSS公司）运行。结果：CES-D的结构效度确定了三个因素（躯体影响、消极情绪和积极情绪），这三个因素解释了总方差的65.60%。内部一致性大于0.70。结论：研究结果表明，波斯语版的CES-D具有可接受的效度和信度，可用于测量伊朗癌症患者的抑郁情况。
