(A) the implementation of the test
1. Test materials
The self-rating depression scale was compiled in 1965, which contained 20 items reflecting the subjective feelings of depression. Each item is divided into four grades according to the frequency of symptoms, in which 10 is a positive score and 10 is a negative score.
2. Scope of application.
The scale can evaluate the severity of depressive symptoms and their changes in treatment, and is especially suitable for finding depressed patients. The subjects were adults with depressive symptoms.
3. Measurement steps.
A let the subjects know the filling method of the scale and the meaning of each item before evaluation. The evaluation criteria of 20 projects are: ① no or little time; 2 a little time; ③ Quite a lot of time; ④ Most or all of the time. Draw a tick on the appropriate number according to your actual feelings in the last week.
B. If the evaluator's educational level is too low to understand the content, the staff can read it to him one by one, and let the evaluator evaluate it independently.
Let the evaluator know about the problem of reverse evaluation.
D. At the end of the evaluation, carefully check the evaluation results, and do not omit or repeat the evaluation.
(2) the score of the test,
The scores of the forward grading questions are 1234, and the scores of the reverse grading questions are 432 1.
After the evaluation, add 20 scores to get the total score X, then multiply the total score by 1.25, and take the integer part to get the standard score Y. ..
(3) Interpretation of the results
The demarcation value of SDS standard score is 53, of which 53~62 are mild depression, 63~72 are moderate depression, and more than 72 are severe depression.
Second, related knowledge
The advantage of SDS is that it is practical and simple, and it can guide self-evaluators to make quite effective evaluations without special training. Moreover, its analysis is quite convenient, and to some extent, it can understand the recent emotions of the evaluators and can be applied to psychological counseling clinics.
If it is used to evaluate the curative effect, it should be evaluated once before or after treatment, and the symptom changes of the self-rated person should be analyzed through the change of SDS total score.
Third, matters needing attention,
1.SDS is mainly suitable for adults with depressive symptoms, and can be used in psychological counseling clinics, psychiatric clinics or hospitalized mental patients.
2. The clinical classification of depressive symptoms should be based on the degree of clinical symptoms, especially critical symptoms, in addition to the reference scale score. The total score of the scale can only be used as a reference index, not as an absolute standard.
