<p>Spanish Validation Of The Revised Depression Attitude Questionnaire (R-DAQ)</p>

Abstract

The aim of the study was to develop and validate a Spanish version of the Revised Depression Attitude Questionnaire (R-DAQ). Methods: The R-DAQ was used as a baseline for the study. It was translated and tested to ensure the instrument was appropriate for the target population. 537 Ecuadorian healthcare professionals completed the revised Spanish version of the R-DAQ (SR-DAQ). Statistical and exploratory factor analyses were performed to examine construct validity, internal consistency, readability and floor and ceiling effects. Results: Three factors were obtained: "Professional confidence in depression care"; "Therapeutic optimism about depression"; and "Generalist perspective about depression occurrence, recognition, and management". The internal consistency of the SR-DAQ was determined by means of Cronbach's α coefficient, with values ranging between 0.61-0.8. The correlations with the English version reflected adequate validity. The model explained 39% of the variance. Subsequent analysis with a sample restricted to those who had received training in depression produced a model that explained 42% of the variance. Conclusion: The SR-DAQ meets the psychometric requirements for measuring depression attitude in a Spanish-speaking population and shows adequate internal consistency and validity.

Attitudes toward depression among Ecuadorian physicians using the Spanish-validated version of the Revised Depression Attitude Questionnaire (R-DAQ)

“…This cross-sectional study was conducted using the validated Spanish Revised Depression Attitude Questionnaire (R-DAQ) [ 16 ]. We used a convenience sampling technique to distribute the questionnaire.…”

Attitudes towards depression of Argentinian, Chilean, and Venezuelan healthcare professionals using the Spanish validated version of the revised depression attitude questionnaire (SR-DAQ)

“…The Spanish validated revised depression attitude questionnaire (R-DAQ) was employed in this study ( Cherrez-Ojeda et al, 2019 ). Question answers went from “Totally disagree” to “Totally agree.” In their validation work, Cronbach's coefficient was used to determine the internal consistency of the SR-DAQ, with values ranging from 0.61 to 0.80.…”

“…The Revised Depression Attitude Questionnaire instrument, specifically the Spanish validated version (SR-DAQ), was used to assess the attitudes of healthcare professionals. Cherrez-Ojeda et al (2019) validated this questionnaire in Spanish in 2019.…”

Psychometric Properties of the Bern Illegitimate Tasks Scale – Spanish Version

“…This is because PCA implies that the observed variables are uncorrelated and that no unobserved variables are underlying the observed variables ( Joliffe and Morgan, 1992 ; Suhr, 2005 ). Moreover, the decision to use EFA was supported because there was no previously validated Spanish version of the BITS, and there is evidence from other validations that dimension reduction analysis is needed ( Salanova and Schaufeli, 2000 ; Alvarado-Villa et al, 2019 ; Cherrez-Ojeda et al, 2019 ; Bomfim et al, 2020 ).…”
