The Center for Epidemiologie Studies Depression Scale as a Measure of Depressive Symptoms in Newly Diagnosed Patients

Beeber, Lincla S., Shea, Judy, McCorkle, Ruth·1998·Journal of Psychosocial Oncology

Abstract

This study examined (he psychometric performance of the Center for Epidemiologie Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) in a heterogeneous sample of 453 newly diagnosed patients with cancer to determine its reliability and validity as a measure of the patients mental health and distress. The authors implemented recent suggestions made by other researchers for evaluating instruments for use in cancer populations. The evaluation included (I) ilenvtcvel reliability and validity studies, (2) a principal components analysis ul hypothesized dimensions of the construct of depressive symptoms purported to be measured by the instrument, (3) a hypothesis-driven investigation of differences in suhscales on concurrently measured demographic and clinical variables, and (4) an exploratory analysis o: patterns of scores on the instrument. Interesting differences in gender, race, and marital status in the variation of patterns of endorsements suggested that the CES-D is sensitive to differences in how depressive symptoms present in these patients. The data supported the use of the instrument as a reliable and valid measure of depressive symptoms in recently diagnosed patients.

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.
