“…Depression was measured with the Zung Self‐rating Depression Scale (SDS), a 20‐item self‐report instrument with a 4‐point Likert scale used to evaluate the psychological, affective, and somatic symptoms associated with depression. The overall score to be obtained with this instrument ranges from 25 to 100, where high scores indicate severe symptoms 17. We followed the standard instructions of the Zung and STAI.…”

During the last three decades lung transplantation (LTx) has become a proven modality for increasing both survival and health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with various end‐stage lung diseases. Most previous studies have reported improved HRQoL shortly after LTx. With regard to long‐term effects on HRQoL, however, the evidence is less solid. This prospective cohort study was started with 828 patients who were on the waiting list for LTx. Then, in a longitudinal follow‐up, 370 post‐LTx patients were evaluated annually for up to 15 years. For all wait‐listed and follow‐up patients, the following four HRQoL instruments were administered: State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory, Zung Self‐rating Depression Scale, Nottingham Health Profile, and a visual analogue scale. Cross‐sectional and generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis for repeated measures were performed to assess changes in HRQoL during follow‐up. After LTx, patients showed improvement in all HRQoL domains except pain, which remained steady throughout the long‐term follow‐up. The level of anxiety and depressive symptoms decreased significantly and remained constant. In conclusion, this study showed that HRQoL improves after LTx and tends to remain relatively constant for the entire life span.

“…However, this study indicated severe mental health problems among Chinese students. According to Zung (1965), a score of 50-60 from SDS indicates mild depression, a score of 60-70 indicates moderate depression, and a score of 70 and above indicates severe depression. The results of this study showed that 20.1% of the participants had mild depression, 14.1% had moderate depression, and 2% had severe depression.…”

Chinese students are the biggest ethnic group of international students in the United States. This study aims to develop a reliable and valid scale to accurately measure their acculturative stress. A 72-item pool was sent online to Chinese students and a five-factor scale of 32 items was generated by exploratory factor analysis. The five factors included language insufficiency, social isolation, perceived discrimination, academic pressure, and guilt toward family. The Acculturative Stress Scale for Chinese Students demonstrated high reliability and initial validity by predicting depression and life satisfaction. It was the first Chinese scale of acculturative stress developed and validated among a Chinese student sample in the United States. In the future, the scale can be used as a diagnostic tool by mental health professionals and a self-assessment tool by Chinese students.

“…Four psychological characteristics were assessed with standardized scales derived from the Dutch Self-Assessment Questionnaire (Van der Ploeg, 1989): anxiety (20 items), anger (10 items), depression (20 items) and optimism (8 items). The four scales represent adaptations of Spielberger's Trait Anxiety Inventory ( Van der Ploeg et αι., 1980;Spielberger, 1983), the Trait Anger Scale ( Van der Ploeg et al, 1982;Spielberger et al, 1983), Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale (Zung, 1965;Mook et al, 1989) and the Life Orientation Test (LOT, Scheier and Carver, 1987). Subjects were asked to rate themselves on a 4-point scale of frequency ("almost never" to "almost always").…”

Abstract-This study outlines the development and evaluation of a structural equation model for establishing the consequences of haemophilia. The hereditary disorder is characterized by a high tendency to haemorrhages, with recurrent bleeding mto the joints causing irreversible joint damage. The model is, in general, an attempt to answer the following questions: what is the effect of haemophilia on the wellbeing (i.e. satisfaction, health, somatic complaints and self-esteem) of patients and what is the additional or mediating role of other individual characteristics in this pathway? Disease severity, joint impairment and disability are defined äs antecedents of well-being and the mediating roles of appraisal (i.e. the personal evaluation of the disease), health beliefs (i.e. locus of control), psychological characteristics (i.e. anxiety, anger, depression and optimism) and social Support are investigated. Psychological variables turned out to be the strengest determinants of well-being and partly mediated the detrimental effect of disability on well-being. The role of appraisal remained somewhat unclear, äs no significant relationship was established between this personal evaluation of haemophilia and well-being. Nevertheless, appraisal very well reflected the level of disability. An internal locus of control and favourable psychological characteristics appeared to reduce the perceived seriousness of haemophilia. No evidence was found for social Support to act äs a mediator between disability and well-being. The perception of support did show moderately strong associations with psychological characteristics (i.e. anxiety and depression) and satisfaction ratings. The study merits further research on quantifying the relationships between clinical parameters and psychosocial outcomes in patients with a chronic disease.
