“…The present study differs from previous research in terms of the number of factors identified and the participant cohort and context. The three-factor structure of the CES-D was identified in the present study, but a two-factor structure of it (Kwakkenbos et al, 2013;Thanh et al, 2016) and four-factor structure of it (Chin et al, 2015;Thombs et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2015) were reported in other studies (Ghubash et al, 2000;Zhang et al, 2012).…”

“…Also, it seems that individuals with greater somatic affects related depression indicate a reduced awareness of behavioral errors (Bridwell et al, 2015;Northouse et al, 2010). This factor was supported by past research (Chin et al, 2015;Fountoulakis et al, 2001;Ghubash et al, 2000;Thombs et al, 2008;Zhang et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2015).…”

“…However, other research has reported four factors. Zhang et al, (2015), Thombs et al, (2008), and Chin et al, (2015) revealed four factors of the CES-D scale (depressed affect, somatic symptoms, positive affect, and interpersonal problems) Hair et al, (2010) stated that in the psychological studies and human sciences, the extraction of factors is appropriate when the explained variance falls between 50% and 60%.…”

Objectives:The Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D) was specifically created to assess depression in cancer patients. However, to date, the CES-D has not been validated in Farsi. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the psychometric properties of the CES-D in Iranian cancer patients. Methods: During a three-month period (October to December, 2015), a total of 380 cancer patients completed a Farsi version of the CES-D. The construct validity of the scale was evaluated by exploratory factor analysis. Reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald Omega. All of the statistical procedure were run by SPSS 22 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Results: The construct validity of the CES-D determined three factors (somatic affect, negative affect, and positive affect), which explained 65.60% of the total variance. The internal consistency was greater than 0.70. Conclusion: Findings revealed that the Farsi version of the CES-D has acceptable validity and reliability, which can be used to measure depression in Iranian cancer patients.

Objectives Chronic low back pain (LBP) is known to cause various disorders compared with acute LBP. However, there was no study evaluating presenteeism due to LBP divided into subcategories by the duration of LBP. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the relationship between acute or chronic LBP and presenteeism in hospital nursing staff. Methods Overall, 1100 nurses filled in a questionnaire on basic attributes, LBP symptoms, depression symptoms, and work productivity. The subjects were divided into three groups based on the period of LBP and the compared work productivity. Work Limitation Questionnaire Japanese version (WLQ‐J) was used for the assessment of work productivity. The effects of acute and chronic LBP on presenteeism were evaluated through multiple regression analysis models. Results In total, 765 subjects, without missing values, were included. The overall prevalence of LBP was 64.6% (acute LBP 47.5%, chronic LBP 17.1%). On multiple regression analysis, acute pain and presenteeism were not associated. Conversely, chronic LBP was associated with time management (adjusted β = −2.3, 95% CI: −4.5 to −1.1), mental‐interpersonal relationship (adjusted β = −2.8, 95% CI: −5.1 to −0.6), and output (adjusted β = −2.7, 95% CI: −5.4 to 0.0) after adjustment for sex and career years. When depression was included in the adjustment factors, chronic LBP and WLQ subscales were not associated. Conclusions It became obvious that Chronic LBP in nurses was significantly related to time management, mental‐interpersonal relationship, and output. The importance of preventing a decline in work productivity by taking precautions to prevent chronic LBP and depression was suggested.

“…There is an extensive body of research demonstrating its sound psychometric properties, including high internal consistency, fair stability, good concurrent, convergent, and discriminant validity in a variety of samples (e.g., [7–10]). Numerous investigations have been conducted to investigate the factor structure of the CES-D.…”

Depressive symptoms following natural disaster in Korea: psychometric properties of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale

BackgroundDepressive symptoms have been recognized as one of the most frequent complaints among natural disaster survivors. One of the most frequently used self-report measures of depressive symptoms is the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). To our knowledge, no study has yet examined the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the CES-D in a sample of natural disaster survivors. Thus, the present study investigated the factor structure, reliability, and validity of a Korean language version of the CES-D (KCES-D) for natural disaster survivors.MethodsWe utilized two archived datasets collected independently for two different periods in 2008 in the same region of Korea (n = 192 for sample 1; n = 148 for sample 2). Participants were survivors of torrential rains in the mid-eastern region of the Korean peninsula. For analysis, Samples 1 and 2 were merged (N = 340). Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to evaluate the one-factor model, the four-factor model, and the bi-factor models, as well as the second-order factor model. Composite reliability was computed to examine the internal consistency of the KCES-D total and subscale scores. Finally, Pearson’s r was computed to examine the relationship between the KCES-D and the trauma-related measures.ResultsThe four-factor model provided the best fit to the data among the alternatives. The KCES-D showed adequate internal consistency, except for the ‘interpersonal difficulties’ subscale. Also regarding concurrent validity, weak to moderate positive correlations were observed between the KCES-D and the trauma-related measures.ConclusionsThe results support the four-factor model and indicate that the KCES-D has adequate psychometric properties for natural disaster survivors. If these findings are further confirmed, the KCES-D can be used as a useful, rapid, and inexpensive screening tool for assessing depressive symptoms in natural disaster survivors.
