“…The two-factor model was the best fitting model, and this is consistent with results of many recent cross-sectional EFA studies [27,48], CFA studies [17,28,29,31] and longitudinal studies [26,30].…”

“…In model 2c the "concentration difficulties" symptom was transferred to the somatic factor. This model was proposed by Richardson and Richards (2008) and Krause et al, (2010) for patients with spinal cord injury in EFA and CFA studies [25,27], and was confirmed by the CFA studies in soldiers [17], primary care patients in Germany [28], Filipino female domestic workers in China [29], mental health patients [30] and university students in Colombia [31]. Model 2d moved the "anhedonia" symptom to a somatic factor along with the previously classified somatic items in Model 2c.…”

“…Previous studies also had similar findings. The results of Mordeno et al, (2018)'s study have revealed that two-factor MDD model was the best fitting model, and the somatic disorder (measured by PHQ-15) was more related to the somatic factor than non-somatic factor [29]. The results supported our hypotheses, and illustrated that the distinct factors of MDD might play different functional roles in the health-related quality of life of people with depression and provided further robust support for two-factor MDD model.…”

“…This model was first described by Krause et al, (2010) in the sample of patients with spinal cord injury at 30 months post injury [25]. Notably, Model 2b has been confirmed in more studies than the other competing models [17,28,29], and this may be attributed to type of populations, demographics, health condition, and history of trauma exposure [29].…”

Background: Experiencing natural disasters is associated with common mental disorders including major depressive disorder (MDD). However, the latent structure of MDD is widely debated, and few studies examined the structure of MDD in Chinese natural disaster survivors. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the factorial validity of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) for DSM-5 major depressive disorder (MDD) symptoms in Chinese earthquake survivors.Method: Participants were 1058 Chinese earthquake survivors. Self-reported measures included the PHQ-9 and the Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the latent structure of MDD and the associations between latent factors of MDD and different aspects of health-related quality of life, respectively.Results: The model comprised of somatic and non-somatic factors demonstrated significantly better fit than the other competing MDD models in the current sample. Further structural equation modeling analyses indicated that the non-somatic factor was significantly associated with both physical and psychosocial health-related quality of life, while the somatic factor was a uniquely predictor of physical health-related quality of life. Furthermore, the somatic factor was found to partially mediate the relationship between the non-somatic factor and physical health-related quality of life.Conclusions: The MDD symptoms was best captured by a two-factor model comprised of somatic and non-somatic factors in Chinese natural disaster survivors. The two MDD factors were differentially associated with physical and psychosocial health-related quality of life, and the non-somatic factor associated physical health-related quality of life partially through the somatic factor. The current findings add to extant knowledge of latent structure of MDD symptoms, and carry implications for assessment and intervention of post-disaster mental health problems.

Background The current pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) protocol will comprehensively describe the implementation of a culturally adapted Filipino version of the World Health Organization Step-by-Step (SbS-F) program, unguided online psychological intervention for people with depression based on behavioral activation, among overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Macao (Special Administrative Region). The main objective of this pilot study is to explore the preliminary effectiveness of the SbS-F program to decrease participant-reported depressive symptoms compared to enhanced care as usual (ECAU); and the secondary objectives are to explore the preliminary effectiveness of the SbS-F to decrease participant-reported anxiety symptoms and improve wellbeing, and to evaluate the potential for SbS-F implementation in real-world settings. Methods This trial will follow an effectiveness-implementation hybrid type 1 trial design and utilize the Reach, Efficacy/Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance (RE-AIM) framework to accelerate the translation of clinical research into more effective implementation strategies and policies. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to control and treatment groups. Control group participants will receive ECAU that consists of brief depression psychoeducation and referral to local community partners. Treatment group participants will receive a 5-session of digital intervention through a mobile phone application. The primary outcome (depression) and psychological secondary outcomes (anxiety symptoms and wellbeing) will be measured using validated instruments. To evaluate study implementation, an embedded mixed-methods design will be used to collect data from various stakeholders. Data then will be analyzed using intention to treat principle and reported following the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guideline. Discussion This study will provide important new knowledge about the preliminary effectiveness of SbS-F, a mobile application, as a digital mental health intervention and its scalability. If SbS-F shows positive results among OFWs in Macao, it has strong potential to be used by OFWs in other countries that may also experience depression and difficulty accessing mental health services.
