“…For individuals with DM, there is concern that complaints related to fatigue, reduced libido, sleep disturbances, appetite and weight could be confused with the symptoms of MDD and result in higher scores in diagnostic evaluations. Of the available scales, only the BDI and the Depressive Cognition Scale (DCS) have been validated in clinical samples of individuals with DM [61,62].…”

The purpose of this review was to identify the prevalence of major depression in individuals with type 2 diabetes by means of a systematic review and meta-analysis. An electronic search was conducted for relevant studies published from January 1988 to December 2014. Cross-sectional and case-control studies in adults that evaluated the prevalence of major depression in individuals with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were included. Meta-regression and sensitivity analyses were used to identify the sources of heterogeneity. Publication bias was assessed using a funnel plot and Egger's test. After the selection process, 18 cross-sectional and four case-control studies were included in the meta-analysis. In total, the occurrence of major depression was investigated in 5554 patients with diabetes mellitus type 2. The prevalence of major depression varied from 6.67% (95% CI: 4.54% -9.38%) to 55.38% (95% CI: 42.53% -67.73%), with an overall average of 21.13% (95% CI: 15.80% -27.66%). In American continent, the prevalence was 20.83% (95% CI: 13.12% -31.43%; I²=96.8%), and in Europe it was 18.00% (95% CI: 8.58% -33.91%; I²=93.8%). Both were lower than the rate in Asia, which was 23.49% (95% CI: 15.63% -33.74%; I²=90.8%). Meta-regression analysis found no evidence that the analyzed cofactors represented the cause of the heterogeneity seen. The approximately symmetrical distribution of the points in Funnel Plot suggests an absence of publication bias that was confirmed by Egger's test (p=0.2345). Based on the data collected, we can infer that the prevalence of major depression in individuals with type 2 diabetes was high, independent of geographic location.

“…The Depressive Cognition Scale (DCS; Zauszniewski, 1995) was used to measure positive cognitions. The DCS measures depressive cognitions when its scoring is reversed because all the scale items are phrased in a positive direction (Zauszniewski, Chung, Krafcik, & Sousa, 2001). The scale is based on Erikson's psychosocial stages of development, and each of the eight depressive cognition items on the scale reflects unsuccessful resolution of one of the stages outlined by Erikson (Zauszniewski, 1995); the DCS measures depressive cognitions when scoring is reversed.…”

“…In this study, the scores were not reversed in order to measure positive cognitions. The DCS consists of 8 items scored on a 6-point Likert type scale from strongly agree (5) to strongly disagree (0), to indicate the degree to which a particular statement describes respondents' current thoughts ( Zauszniewski, 1995 andZauszniewski et al, 2001). Scores may range from 0 to 40.…”

“…Zauszniewski (1995) has reported acceptable internal consistency (α = .78), and construct validity as indicated by significant correlations with measures of depression (r = − .54, P < .001), resourcefulness (.37, P < .001), and adaptive functioning (r = .60, P < .001). Confirmatory factor analysis indicated the presence of a single factor with all item factor loadings exceeding .30; 40% of the total variance of the scale was explained ( Zauszniewski, 1997 andZauszniewski et al, 2001). Examples of the DCS scale items are: "I am a worthwhile human being," "I believe that life is worth living," and "I am hopeful about my future."…”

A presença de depressão no paciente com diabetes mellitus (DM) parece relacionar-se a alterações no curso clínico da doença. O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão sistemática sobre a associação entre o DM e depressão. Foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica utilizando as bases de dados MEDLINE e LILACS para identificar artigos relevantes, publicados entre 1990 e 2001, que avaliassem esta associação. Foram analisadas informações referentes à prevalência, ao impacto e ao tratamento da depressão no DM. A prevalência de depressão no DM variou de 0 a 60,5%. Sintomas depressivos relacionaram-se a um pior controle glicêmico, a um aumento e a uma maior gravidade das complicações clínicas, a uma piora da qualidade de vida e ao comprometimento de aspectos sociais, econômicos e educacionais ligados ao DM. O tratamento da depressão está relacionado à melhora dos níveis glicêmicos, podendo contribuir para um melhor controle de diversos aspectos relacionados ao DM. The presence of depression in a patient with diabetes mellitus (DM) seems to be related to changes in the clinical course of the disease. The purpose of this study is to perform a systematic review on the association of DM and depression. A bibliographic search was performed using the MEDLINE and LILACS databases to identify relevant articles, published from 1990 to 2001, which evaluate this relationship. Information concerning prevalence, impact and treatment of depression in DM were analyzed. The prevalence of depression varied from 0 to 60.5%. The presence of depressive symptoms were associated with a poor glycemic control, an increase in the number and severity of clinical complications, a worse quality of life and impairment of social, educational and economic aspects related to DM. The treatment of depression is associated with an improvement in glycemic levels, which may contribute to a better control of several aspects related to DM.
