The factor structure of responses to the twenty-eight-item General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) in a sample of 277 Nigerian antenatal women was examined.
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Varimax rotation were used.
A four factor structure interpretable as social dysfunction, somatic-anxiety, depression-anxiety, and severe depression was obtained.
Although the factor structure in this sample is similar to that previously reported with this instrument, the factor loadings particularly for the anxiety subscale differed. Thus, the factor structures of the GHQ may differ depending on the cultural background of the sample.
对277名尼日利亚产前妇女样本对28项一般健康问卷（GHQ - 28）的反应的因素结构进行了研究。
采用主成分分析（PCA）和方差最大化旋转。
获得了一个四因素结构，可解释为社会功能障碍、躯体焦虑、抑郁焦虑和重度抑郁。
虽然该样本中的因素结构与之前使用该工具报告的结构相似，但特别是焦虑子量表的因素负荷有所不同。因此，GHQ的因素结构可能因样本的文化背景而异。
