dc.description.abstract | The present study examines a new factor structure and the convergent validity of the Portuguese version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) with college students. This measure has been used to evaluate depressive symptoms in adults. The total sample included 958 college students. Data were collected from a Web-based survey carried out in schools forming the Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra. Students completed the PHQ-9 and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) subscales as convergent measures. Results pointed to good fit of a secondorder factor model with three first-order factors (somatic, cognitive and affective dimensions of depression). Strong positive correlations were found between PHQ-9 scores and HADS depression and BSI depression subscales. Our findings reinforce the PHQ-9 as a valid tool in higher education settings. Future studies should re-examine the dimensional structure of the tool considering its implications for the clinical interpretation of the measure. | pt_PT |

Esta medida é usada para avaliar sintomas depressivos em adultos. A amostra inclui 958 estudantes universitários. Os dados foram recolhidos através de uma pesquisa online conduzida no Instituto Politécnico de Coimbra. Os estudantes completaram o PHQ-9, a Escala de Ansiedade e Depressão Hospitalar (EADH) e subescalas do Inventário de Sintomas Psicopatológicos (BSI) como medidas convergentes. Os resultados apontaram para o bom ajuste de um modelo fatorial de segunda ordem com três fatores de primeira ordem (somático, cognitivo e afetivo). Foram encontradas fortes correlações positivas entre as pontuações do PHQ-9 e as subescalas de depressão. O PHQ-9 mostra ser um instrumento válido para a aplicação no ensino superior. Estudos futuros devem (re)examinar a estrutura fatorial desta escala considerando as suas implicações para a interpretação clínica do instrumento. | pt_PT |
