We have validated a Portuguese version of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) tests by obtaining profiles for three Brazilian samples: 270 university students, 117 panic patients and 30 depressed patients. The mean BDI scores were higher for depressed patients (25.2 +/- 12.6), intermediate for anxious patients (15.8 +/- 10.3) and lower for students (8.5 +/- 7.0). Mean STAI scores for anxious (52.8 +/- 11.4) and depressed patients (56.4 +/- 10.5) were higher than for the student sample (40.7 +/- 8.6). BDI and STAI scores were correlated significantly in all samples. The internal consistency of the Portuguese version of BDI is in agreement with the literature (0.81 for students and 0.88 for depressed patients). The present data demonstrate that the psychometric properties of the Portuguese versions of the BDI and STAI are comparable to the original English language versions of these questionnaires, thereby indicating their use in clinical situations.
我们通过获取三个巴西样本的概况，验证了葡萄牙语版的贝克抑郁量表（BDI）和状态-特质焦虑量表（STAI）测试，这三个样本分别是270名大学生、117名惊恐障碍患者和30名抑郁症患者。抑郁症患者的BDI平均得分较高（25.2±12.6），焦虑症患者的得分居中（15.8±10.3），而学生的得分较低（8.5±7.0）。焦虑症患者（52.8±11.4）和抑郁症患者（56.4±10.5）的STAI平均得分高于学生样本（40.7±8.6）。在所有样本中，BDI和STAI得分均显著相关。葡萄牙语版BDI的内部一致性与文献一致（学生为0.81，抑郁症患者为0.88）。目前的数据表明，葡萄牙语版BDI和STAI的心理测量特性与这些问卷的原始英语版本相当，从而表明它们可用于临床情况。
