Abstract

Identifying daily influences on subjective well-being can be helpful in understanding the burden of depression. This study used experience sampling methodology (ESM) to examine the contribution of mood states, physical complaints and enjoyment of activities to a momentary measure of quality of life (mQoL), assessed by responses to the question 'In general, how is it going with you right now?' Sixty-three depressed and 22 healthy control subjects completed ESM self-reports during daily activities, 10 times per day for 6 days. In comparison to control subjects, depressed subjects had lower levels of mQoL, positive mood, and enjoyment of activity, higher negative mood, and more frequent and severe complaints. Depressed subjects were more likely than control subjects to be doing nothing and less likely to be engaged in work. Multilevel regression analysis showed that positive mood and enjoyment of the current activity were associated with higher mQoL, whereas negative mood and complaints were associated with lower mQoL. In depressed subjects, mQoL was more variable over time than in control subjects. In contrast to the ESM results, only negative mood and depression were significant predictors of global measures of QoL. We conclude that QoL has important situational determinants that can in part explain the impact of depression on daily functioning and well-being.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • When the ESM/EMA data were analyzed in more detail (but not when a global retrospective measure was used at the end of the EMS/EMA period), patients reported their quality of life to be poor specifically in situations in which they also reported low levels of PA, high levels of NA, a lack of enjoyment of current activities, and physical complaints.

    “More importantly, when the ESM/EMA data were analyzed in more detail (but not when a global retrospective measure was used at the end of the EMS/EMA period), it was found that patients reported their quality of life to be poor speci fi cally in situations in which they also reported low levels of PA, high levels of NA, a lack of enjoyment of current activities, and physical complaints.”

  • During the baseline ESM/EMA period, MDD patients reported relatively little positive affect, a lot of negative affect, many physical complaints, limited enjoyment of everyday activities, and a poor quality of life.

    “during the baseline ESM/EMA period patients reported relatively little PA, a lot of NA, many physical complaints, limited enjoyment of everyday activities, and a poor quality of life (Barge-Schaapveld et al., 1999).”

  • On average adults with MDD report less PA and more NA than healthy controls.

    “For example, the group of deVries has repeatedly found that on average adults with MDD report less PA and more NA than healthy controls (Barge-Schaapveld et al., 1999; Myin-Germeys et al., 2003; Peeters, Nicolson, Berkhof, Delespaul, et al., 2003).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
