Adolescent Population

Thirty-seven consecutively assessed adolescents were evaluated at two intervals, one week apart, using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HLDRS). Scores on the two instruments were compared to each other and to the DSM-III clinical diagnosis. High scores on the BDI were not found to be specific to symptoms of patients with a diagnosis of depressive syndrome but rather measured the degree of subjective dysphoria. The severity of dysphoria was found to be greatest in the group with personality disorders and to vary most in this group from one week to the other. Suggestions for an appropriate use of the BDI in an adolescent population are made.

SummaryThis study examines changes in language markers in patient and therapist speech over the course of a 12-session cognitive depression therapy. Sessions 4, 8 and 12 were analyzed for the following clinical and language indices:– scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory.– relative frequency of predicative verb categories, deictics, modalization and situation markers in patient and therapist speech (propositional analysis). The findings show that language indices change significantly and correlatively with therapeutic change, and can thus serve as one measure of the changes in the patient’s psychological organization brought about by cognitive depression therapy.

Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether social support deficit has moderating effects on depressive and cardiac outcomes in an antidepressant trial for depressed patients with acute coronary syndrome as a secondary analysis using Escitalopram for DEPression in acute coronary syndrome study (ClinicalTrial.gov registry number: NCT00419471). Methods In total, 217 acute coronary syndrome patients with Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition depressive disorders were randomized into two groups that received escitalopram (N = 108) or placebo (N = 109) for 24 weeks. Social support deficit was evaluated by validated scales at study entry. Depressive outcomes were measured using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale, and the Beck Depression Inventory. Cardiac outcomes included echocardiography (left ventricular ejection fraction and wall motion scores), electrocardiography (heart rate, PR interval, QRS duration, and QTc duration), and laboratory test results (troponin I and creatine kinase-MB). Results A higher social support deficit at baseline was significantly associated with less improvement in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory scores, and serum troponin I levels after adjustment for corresponding baseline scores, covariates associated with social support deficit at baseline, and treatment status. The strength of these associations was more prominent in the placebo group compared to the escitalopram group. Conclusions Evaluation of social support deficit in depressed acute coronary syndrome is important, and particularly during the acute phase, depressed acute coronary syndrome patients with social support deficit should be treated more carefully to improve treatment outcomes, given that social support deficit was predictive of poorer depressive and cardiac outcomes during the 24-week treatment period. Acute coronary syndrome patients with social support deficit should be treated more carefully to improve treatment outcomes.

The study aimed at investigating how to apply two familiar tools formeasuringdepression among diabetic patients in Iran. The study discusses about two inventories and emphasizes that depression is such an important issue that needs to receive a great deal of attention in order to create grounds to be prevented or cured. The issue of concept of tools was also discussed in the study. The discussion in the paper is based on the conceptual framework of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS).Thesetools are appropriate for the study because they allowthe reader to understand how to measureand identify symptoms of depression.  The paper recommends that the tools should be carefully applied in order to improve mental health and reduce the prevalence of depression.

Background Major depression is common after coronary artery bypass graft surgery and is associated with increased mortality and morbidity. Clinicians have few practical options for detecting depression, especially in women, who are at higher risk for depression than men. Objectives To evaluate the clinical utility of common self-report and observer-rated instruments for detection of major depression in women after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Methods In 66 women being discharged after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, 4 instruments were completed: the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory Short Form, and Beck Depression Inventory for Primary Care. For each instrument, receiver-operating-characteristic curves were analyzed, and positive and negative predictive values were calculated for cutoff points determined from the curves. Results At hospital discharge, all 4 instruments yielded highly accurate curves. Compared with cutoffs suggested for patients without medical illness and hospitalized nonsurgical patients, identified cutoffs for screening were higher when all types of depressive symptoms (cognitive, affective, behavioral, somatic) were measured with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and the Beck Depression Inventory but lower when only cognitive and/or affective symptoms were measured with the 2 subscales of the Beck Depression Inventory. Conclusions The Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and both subscales of the Beck Depression Inventory may be useful for detecting major depression in women shortly after coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Further study is warranted to confirm cutoffs in these patients.

Personel militer mempunyai resiko yang tinggi menderita depresi karena sifat pekerjaan dan latihannya, perpisahan dengan keluarga, melaksanakan misi militer , berpindah-pindah tugas, penugasan di tempat yang sempit (kapal perang) dan terpapar dengan peristiwa maupun peralatan yang berbahaya. Pada penelitian oleh Al-Amri et al., di Arab Saudi dengan mengambil 357 sampel secara acak, didapatkan hasil prevalensi depresi sebesar 17,1% disuatu daerah operasi militer di Timur Tengah. PDSKJI (2017) melaporkan 3,7% dari populasi di Indonesia  menderita gangguan depresi. Studi ini merupakan case report  pre dan post test  design sebanyak 4 pasien prajurit angkatan laut yang sudah didiagnosis menderita gangguan depresi berat yang  akan mendapatkan terapi standar berupa antidepresan dan psikoterapi . Pertama-tama dilakukan assesment tingkat depresi dengan memakai BDI (Beck Depression Inventory) dan HDRS (Hamilton Depression Rating Scale). Terapi standar depresi diberikan terhadap kedua kelompok dan satu kelompok ditambah  terapi augmentasi TMS ,  power disesuaikan dengan RMT ( resting motoric threshold), protokol terapi  TMS dengan amplitudo 100%  figh frequency 18 Hz , 2 sec dengan interval inter train 20 sec , 55 dan 59  train  selama 20 menit  sebanyak 5 X seminggu  . Dari hasil studi ini, secara klinis seluruh pasien yang mendapat augmentasi  TMS menunjukkan hasil perbaikan klinis yang lebih  baik mulai minggu I terapi dengan penurunan skor BDI 15 poin dan HDRS 14 poin. Penurunan skore dengan selisih 6-8 poin pada skala BDI dan selisih 5-7 pada skala HDRS pada pasien yang mendapat terapi standar dibandingkan dengan yang mendapat terapi standar dan augmentasi TMS.

Abstract. The goal of the present investigation was to expand the literature on impulsivity and Cluster B personality disorders (PDs) by conceptualizing impulsivity in a multidimensional manner. Two separate undergraduate samples (n = 223; n = 204) completed measures of impulsivity and Cluster B dimensions. Impulsivity was indeed predictive of Cluster B dimensions and, importantly, each PD scale exhibited a unique impulsivity profile. Findings for borderline PD scores were highly consistent across samples and strongly and positively associated with urgency and lack of perseverance, as expected. Findings for the other PD dimensions also exhibited a fair amount of consistency. Implications of these findings for diagnostic classification and treatment are discussed.

Rating Scale Model

This paper presents an IRT analysis of the Beck Depression Inventory which was carried out to assess the assumption of an underlying latent trait common to non-clinical and patient samples. A one parameter rating scale model was fitted to data drawn from a patient and non-patient sample. Findings suggest that while the BDI fits the model reasonably well for the two samples separately there is sufficient differential item functioning to raise serious duobts of the viability of using it analogously with patient and non-patient groups.
