“…In these studies, the two factors were named cognitiveÁaffective and somatic concerns. In general, our results concur with the EFA results from a number of other studies identified in the literature (e.g., Palmer & Binks, 2008;Penley, Wiebe, & Nwosu, 2003;Storch, Roberti, & Roth, 2004;Whisman, Perez, & Ramel, 2000;VanVoorhis & Blumentritt, 2007).…”

Factor structure of the Beck Depression Inventory-II among South Africans receiving antiretroviral therapy

Considerable evidence suggests that mood disturbance is common among patients living with HIV and may be an important barrier to anti-retroviral therapy (ART) adherence. Thus the assessment of depressed mood is an important and necessary aspect of the experience of persons living with HIV as it may impact the health status of individuals directly and indirectly. We sought to determine the factor structure of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) among a sample of 185 South Africans living with HIV and receiving ART. The mean BDI score was 16.5 (SD 12.15) with a range from 0-50 (out of a possible 63), indicating on average moderate levels of depression. Cronbach's alpha for the total scale was 0.90. Although the four factors had eigenvalues that were technically above 1.0, only three factors could logically be extracted, the combination of which accounted for 47.29% of the variance. These three factors were Cognitive, Affective and Somatic. The results indicate that the BDI-II is a reliable measure of symptoms of depression among persons living with HIV. The factor structure among South Africans receiving ART is similar to that of other samples, although surprisingly, the item assessing appetite disturbance did not load on any factor. The results of the study suggest that the BDI-II is a useful measure among South Africans living with HIV. In the context of the need to rapidly identify depressed mood among persons receiving ART in public health clinics, the BDI may be a useful instrument. We end the paper with certain cautions associated with routine screening.

“…The BDI-II had a high level of internal consistency (Cronbach's a = .90). Furthermore, the study found convergent validity, which was evident from the significant correlation between the BDI-II and BHS (r = .55, p < .001; Palmer & Binks, 2008). Boothby and Durham (1999) confirmed that women and younger offenders report higher scores on the BDI-II, which supported the view that mild and severe depression are more evident among women offenders.…”

Depression and hopelessness can be associated with negative outcomes among offenders, such as reduced treatment impact, institutional misconduct, suicide risk, and health care costs. This study evaluated the reliability and validity of the Depression Hopelessness Suicide Screening Form (DHS) among women offenders. The DHS Depression and Hopelessness scales showed good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Convergent and discriminant validities were supported through the relationship of the DHS with other established scales of depression, mood, suicidal intentions, and psychological distress. Optimal and conservative cutoff scores for the DHS Depression and Hopelessness scales were evaluated against criteria from a DSM-IV-based interview. Discussion centers on the importance of gender-based norms when assessing women offenders.

“…A similar two-dimensional structure was obtained in nonclinical samples using a different language version of the BDI-II, 27,31,55 in psychiatric samples, 8,33,55,62,65,82,88,91 and in medical patients. 96,114,116,124 The between-factor correlation coefficients in the two-dimensional structure of the BDI-II were generally high (.…”

Objective: To review the psychometric properties of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) as a self-report measure of depression in a variety of settings and populations. Methods: Relevant studies of the BDI-II were retrieved through a search of electronic databases, a hand search, and contact with authors. Retained studies (k = 118) were allocated into three groups: non-clinical, psychiatric/institutionalized, and medical samples. Results: The internal consistency was described as around 0.9 and the retest reliability ranged from 0.73 to 0.96. The correlation between BDI-II and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-I) was high and substantial overlap with measures of depression and anxiety was reported. The criterion-based validity showed good sensitivity and specificity for detecting depression in comparison to the adopted gold standard. However, the cutoff score to screen for depression varied according to the type of sample. Factor analysis showed a robust dimension of general depression composed by two constructs: cognitive-affective and somatic-vegetative. Conclusions: The BDI-II is a relevant psychometric instrument, showing high reliability, capacity to discriminate between depressed and non-depressed subjects, and improved concurrent, content, and structural validity. Based on available psychometric evidence, the BDI-II can be viewed as a costeffective questionnaire for measuring the severity of depression, with broad applicability for research and clinical practice worldwide.
