Over a period of 8 days, 32 haemodialysis out-patients were studied. Psychometric alien- and self-rating questionnaires were completed twice a day. The aim of the study was to produce a survey of the frequency and severity of depression in haemodialysis patients. It was speculated that the potency of haemodialysis in producing depression might be a helpful model in searching for biochemical factors in this disorder. Self-ratings showed short-term depressive changes in mood in about 15% of cases, which were not confirmed by alien-rating scales. It is concluded that neither incidence and severity nor longitudinal and cross-sectional profiles support a biochemical determination of depression in haemodialysis patients.
在为期8天的时间里，对32名血液透析门诊患者进行了研究。每天两次完成心理测量的他人评定和自评问卷。该研究的目的是对血液透析患者抑郁症的发生频率和严重程度进行调查。据推测，血液透析导致抑郁症的可能性可能是寻找这种疾病生化因素的一个有用模型。自评显示，约15%的病例出现短期情绪抑郁变化，但他人评定量表未证实这一点。得出的结论是，无论是发病率和严重程度，还是纵向和横断面情况，都不支持对血液透析患者抑郁症进行生化判定。
