The Schwab-Gilleard Depression Scale is a short self-report index for assessing depression in elderly people. The aim of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of this device with particular reference to its reliability, criterion validity and ability to discriminate depression from dementia. The total sample comprised 166 elderly people living in Part III residential homes in south-west London. For 111 of these, the Schwab-Gilleard Depression Scale (SGDS), the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), the Short-Comprehensive Assessment and Referral Evaluation (CARE), and the Clifton Assessment Procedures for the Elderly (CAPE) were completed. The GDS and CAPE only were completed with the remaining 55 participants. Psychiatric diagnoses were available from the medical notes on each resident. In addition, a subsample of 49 had been assessed using the SGDS and CARE 14 months previously. These data were available for test-retest analyses. The self-rating SGDS was found to be a reliable and valid measure of depression and is recommended for use as a screening tool for depression in elderly people in residential homes.
施瓦布 - 吉利亚德抑郁量表是一种用于评估老年人抑郁状况的简短自评指数。本研究旨在探讨该工具的心理测量特性，尤其关注其信度、效标效度以及区分抑郁症与痴呆症的能力。总样本包括166名居住在伦敦西南部第三类养老院的老年人。其中111人完成了施瓦布 - 吉利亚德抑郁量表（SGDS）、老年抑郁量表（GDS）、简短综合评估与转诊评估（CARE）以及老年人克利夫顿评估程序（CAPE）。其余55名参与者仅完成了GDS和CAPE。每位居民的病历中都有精神科诊断结果。此外，49人的子样本在14个月前已使用SGDS和CARE进行过评估。这些数据可用于重测分析。自评的SGDS被发现是一种可靠且有效的抑郁测量工具，建议用作养老院老年人抑郁症的筛查工具。
