“…Recent data on the psychometric properties of the Portuguese version of the GDS-15 was reported by Matos et al (2019). The authors found that the scale presented good internal consistency (α = 0.85) and discriminant validity (the global score differentiated individuals with emotional disorders) (Matos et al, 2019). Consistent with these previous results, the internal reliability analysis of this measure yielded a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.82.…”

“…The authors also found that the GDS-15 was a reliable screening instrument for major depression according to ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision) and DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition), and a reliable measure of the severity of depressive episodes (Almeida and Almeida, 1999a).

During the past decades, childless old age has attracted a considerable amount of scholarly interest. However, few studies address this phenomenon in Southern European familistic welfare states, where there is a pervading expectation that family members, especially spouses and children, care for their older relatives. The present cross-sectional study aims to analyse the relationship between childlessness, social networks and wellbeing in a sample of 612 Portuguese individuals aged 65 and over, comprising two sub-samples: parents (N = 540) and childless (N = 72). Data were collected through a research protocol that included a sociodemographic questionnaire, a personal social network assessment inventory, and several validated psychometric measures of psychological wellbeing focusing on mental health, loneliness, depression and satisfaction with life. Childless older adults' social networks are smaller but more diverse, including a more significant proportion of friends and neighbours. No differences were found in perceived support from significant others, but network reciprocity was lower among non-parents. The childless subsample also reported more feelings of loneliness and less life satisfaction, but regression analysis showed that parenthood status, per se, is not significantly related to any outcome measures. Besides the central role of sociodemographic characteristics and personal functioning measures in explaining psychological wellbeing variance, several network factors were also identified as influential predictors. Implications for micro-level network intervention and macro-level social policy making are discussed.

“…Estes resultados são importantes na validação do construto e implementação de políticas com o objetivo de influenciar a qualidade de vida subjetiva dos idosos e ampliar o corpo de conhecimento sobre os fatores que afetam a satisfação com a vida. Encontrados novos e significativos valores estatísticos sobre a validade do constructo a partir de Apóstolo et al ( 2014) e de Matos et al (2019) numa boa consistência interna (α = .85). Foram encontrados valores estatísticos mais robustos de consistência da Escala relativamente ao estudo de Neto (1993) com consistência interna de α = .78 versus atual α= .962.…”

O artigo parte da análise das qualidades psicométricas da Escala de Depressão Geriátrica GDS-15 e adicionalmente do estudo da correlação entre a Escala de Satisfação com a Vida com as variáveis sociodemográficas em estudo com utilidade para a formação universitária e a competência cuidadora. O estudo é constituído por uma amostra validada em Portugal com N=763 (48% 75-84 idade e 32.2% 85-94) e os dados obtidos permitem observar adequadas propriedades psicométricas evidenciando índices adequados de consistência interna. O valor Alfa de Cronbach é superior a 0.80 para a GDS-15 e para as dimensões 1 e 2 encontradas. A perceção de Satisfação com a Vida é também medida de forma adequada. As correlações itens-total são sempre positivas e com valores muito superiores a 0.3 para todos os itens. O efeito da eliminação de cada item não provoca aumento do valor do Alfa de Cronbach. Valores de correlação estatística superior para a relação entre a Satisfação com a Vida com a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (r=-0.786; p<0.001).
