A self-rating depression questionnaire based on the Hamilton Depression Questionnaire was given directly by a microcomputer to 43 controls and 125 depressed patients. Scores obtained from the two groups differed very significantly; choosing an appropriate cut-off point, the computer-delivered questionnaire accurately detected the presence of depression. The severity of depression in the patients, as indicated by their scores, correlated significantly with assessments of severity by qualified clinicians. Patients commented favourably on the procedure, and the medical and nursing staff found it instructive and helpful. The use of this technique appears practicable and further evaluation is in progress.
基于汉密尔顿抑郁量表的自评抑郁问卷由微型计算机直接发放给43名对照者和125名抑郁症患者。两组获得的分数差异非常显著；选择合适的分界点后，计算机发放的问卷能准确检测出抑郁症的存在。患者的分数所表明的抑郁严重程度与合格临床医生的严重程度评估显著相关。患者对该程序评价良好，医护人员认为其具有启发性且很有帮助。这种技术的应用似乎可行，进一步的评估正在进行中。
