The Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self Report (IDS-SR): Psychometric properties of the Indonesian version

BackgroundIn Indonesia, internet-based interventions may represent a promising strategy to reduce the mental health gap given that the level of internet usage in the country continues to increase. To check the acceptability of internet-based interventions, this study investigates factors that contribute to the use of internet-based interventions for depression in Indonesia.MethodThe survey was conducted online and had 904 participants recruited from specific social networks on mental health and general social media (Mean age = 27.07, 50.22% females). The three dependent variables were (1) behavioral intention to start using internet-based interventions for depression, (2) preference to use it as a substitute for regular treatments and (3) preference to use it to complement regular treatments. The predictor variables included sociodemographic characteristics, perceived mental health conditions, personal situational characteristics, personal innovativeness toward online services, and depression level.ResultsA large majority reported to be open to using internet-based interventions for depression (73.7%), as well as to use it as a substitution (73.3%) or as a complementary (73%) to regular treatments. Personal innovativeness toward online services was the strongest significant predictor for all types of use, even when corrected for current depression level. When added to the analyses separately, depression level was the second strongest predictive factor for all dependent variables.ConclusionThe majority of Indonesians showed openness to use internet-based interventions for depression. To increase the adoption of internet-based interventions for depression, it is important to first promote internet usage to more people across the country, especially for those who are currently depressed.

“…The primary outcome was the self-reported level of depressive symptoms 10 weeks after baseline, as measured by the PHQ-9, which consists of nine items with scores ranging from 0 to 27. 6 Secondary outcomes were PHQ-9 scores at 3 months and 6 months; remission of a depressive episode based on the SCID-5 at 10 weeks; 19 and depressive symptoms measured by the Indonesian version of the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self Report, 20 fear and avoidance level as measured by the Fear Questionnaire, 21 perceived social support as measured by the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, 22 and quality of life as measured by the brief version of the WHO Quality of Life 23 at 10 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. A detailed description of the assessments is available in the trial protocol; 6 mediation analyses of potential mechanisms will be reported elsewhere.…”

“…The questionnaires for assessing PGD, PTSD and PTG were translated from English into Bahasa Indonesia with a forward translation by a bilingual public health medical doctor and a backward translation by another independent bilingual public health medical doctor. The translation of the depression questionnaire (QIDS) was derived from a previous study conducted in Jakarta (Arjadi, Nauta, Utoyo, & Bockting, 2017). After this, the translated questionnaires underwent a critical review process focusing on the comprehensibility, relevance and cultural appropriateness consisting of a consultation with CL and two focus groups including the research assistants, public health staff, AP and MD (one before the administering of the pilot interviews and one after the pilot of 20 administered interviews and three more in-depth interviews).…”

“…The Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QIDS-SR) is a 16-item questionnaire available in a self-rating format (Rush et al, 2003). This questionnaire includes a subset of questions of the Indonesian Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology Self Report (IDS-SR) which is known to have good validity and reliability in a sample of Javanese participants (Arjadi, Nauta, Utoyo, & Bockting, 2017). The items are scored in a 4-point Likert scale.…”

While designing and conducting these studies, we became increasingly aware of the importance of an overarching more theoretical question: What would be a suitable view or approach to psychopathology to better understand the similarities and differences of symptoms connected to PGD, PTSD, and depression better? We are aware that there are many approaches to understanding psychopathology, some more statistical, others more conceptual. It is beyond the goal of the dissertation to present them all (Borsboom, 2008; Insel et al., 2010;Wakefield, 1992aWakefield, , 1992b. However, in the following section, we briefly summarize the approaches to psychopathology that we use in this dissertation. The latent construct approach: categorical viewThis approach is the most common understanding of mental disorders in current psychiatry. The latent construct approach assumes that a latent disease entity is responsible for a specific group of symptoms. A well-known example is the symptom 'spitting blood' in a patient with a lung tumor. In this example the lung tumor is the underlying reason for and the latent disease entity behind the fact that the patient spits blood (Borsboom, 2008;Borsboom & Cramer, 2013). In the case of PGD, symptoms like 'persistent yearning' , 'emotional pain' and 'grief-related avoidance' are considered to serve as indicators of the underlying disease/disorder PGD. The latent PGD entity is the common cause that these symptoms (i.e., 'yearning' , 'emotional pain' , and 'grief-related avoidance') are seen in a patient as a coherent syndrome (Robinaugh, LeBlanc, Vuletich, & McNally, 2014).The classification of mental disorders by the American Psychiatric Association in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders uses this latent construct approach. In clinical research, the approach is used in the following ways. First, one can study the existence of the latent disease entities or disorders. This means that you divide a study population in participants who do experience the full disorder and those who do not experience the disorder. Following this, you could investigate which predictor is more common in one of the groups, for example: Dyregrov, Nordanger, and Dyregrov (2003);Saavedra Pérez et al. (2017). Secondly, one may study the separate symptoms and their correlation to the latent disease entity. This could be useful when examining the representativeness of a symptom for the latent disease entity, for example when validating a questionnaire or trying to define the cluster of symptoms that may represent the latent disease entity, for example: Boelen and van den Prigerson et al. (2009). Traumatic loss Chapter 2The prevalence of prolonged grief disorder in bereaved individuals following unnatural losses: Systematic review and meta-regression analysis
