Testing factor structure and measurement invariance of 10-item versions of the CES-D scale : Focusing on Andersen form and Boston form of the CES-D-10

The present study examined the longitudinal measurement invariance of the Korean version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression (CES-D) scale. For this purpose, two datasets from the Korean Welfare Panel Study were analyzed. Study 1 examined the data from the first four waves to determine the scale’s short-term longitudinal invariance. Study 2 extracted data every 3 years up to the 10th year, beginning with the first wave (waves 1, 4, 7, and 10) to examine the scale’s long-term longitudinal invariance. We analyzed 10,098 cases in Study 1 and 7,077 cases in Study 2. The results of Study 1 revealed that the scale had strict or residual measurement invariance, whereas the results of Study 2 indicated that the scale had strong or scalar measurement invariance. Overall, the Korean version of the CES-D-11 scale was shown to be a valid measure of depression that can be used to evaluate symptom changes over time.

Longitudinal Measurement Invariance of the Korean Version of the CES-D-11 Scale

“…The total score ranges between 0 and 30, as inverse scoring was used for questions 5 and 8. Scores ≥10 indicate clinical depression [33]. Cronbach's α was .71 in the original study [34] and .92 in this study.…”

Self-management by Hospitalized Older Adults Based on Self-regulation: a Structural Equation Model

Choi

et al. 2021

Preprint

Background: Based on the common-sense model of self-regulation, this study aimed to examine the process of self-management through the proposed framework of “Self-system (type D personality)”→ “Cognitive illness perception,” “Emotional illness perception (Depression)”→ “Coping strategies (Approach coping)”→ “Illness Appraisal (Self-management),” using a structural equation model.Methods: The study was conducted at two care hospitals with 300 or more beds located in Jeolla Province, South Korea. The participants were 287 hospitalized older adults. The data collection period was February 17–March 10, 2021. The data were analyzed using SPSS WIN 23.0 and AMOS 23.0. To investigate the overall relationships among the factors influencing self-management among participants, a hypothetical model was created based on the common-sense model of self-regulation. The fit of the model and significance of its paths were analyzed. Results: The hypothetical model showed a good fit based on the following results: CMIN/DF(Q)=2.852, CFI=.955, TLI=.947, and RMSEA=.08. Type D personality had a significant direct effect on cognitive illness perception (β=-.491, p<.001) and depression (β=.844, p<.001). Cognitive illness perception (β=.650, p<.001) and depression (β=-.433, p<.001) had a direct effect on approach coping. Approach coping (β=.326, p<.001) had a direct effect on self-management. Notably, approach coping mediated illness perception and self-management. The explanatory power of the variables for self-management was 78.8%.Conclusion: These findings demonstrated the following mechanism: “type D personality” → “cognitive illness perception” and “depression” → “approach coping” → “self-management,” and highlighted the potential threat of type D personalities and depression on self-management. Cognitive illness perception and approach coping both contribute toward older adults’ self-management.

“…Using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale 10 (CES-D-10), which measures the severity of depressive symptoms, outcome variables were dichotomized with a score of 4 points as the cut-off [ 20 ]. The CES-D-10 is an extensively applied tool for measuring depressive symptoms, and after verifying its validity and measurement invariance, it was determined that the measured scores were appropriate for intergroup comparisons [ 21 ].…”

Regional Differences in the Effects of Social Relations on Depression Among Korean Elderly and the Moderating Effect of Living Alone

Objectives: Socioeconomic disadvantages interact with numerous factors which affect geriatric mental health. One of the main factors is the social relations of the elderly. The elderly have different experiences and meanings in their social lives depending on their socio-cultural environment. In this study, we compared the effects of social relations on depression among the elderly according to their living arrangement (living alone or living with others) and residential area.Methods: We defined social relations as “meetings with neighbors” (MN). We then analyzed the impact of MN on depression using data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Aging Panel with the generalized estimating equation model. We also examined the moderating effect of living alone and performed subgroup analysis by dividing the sample according to which area they lived in.Results: MN was associated with a reduced risk of depressive symptoms among elderlies. The size of the effect was larger in rural areas than in large cities. However, elderly those who lived alone in rural areas had a smaller protective impact of MN on depression, comparing to those who lived with others. The moderating effect of living alone was significant only in rural areas.Conclusions: The social relations among elderlies had a positive effect on their mental health: The more frequent MN were held, the less risk of depressive symptoms occurred. However, the effect may vary depending on their living arrangement and environment. Thus, policies or programs targeting to enhance geriatric mental health should consider different socio-cultural backgrounds among elderlies.
