Abstract
El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar, desde la perspectiva de la validez de contenido, los cuestionarios, escalas e inventarios autoaplicados más populares en España para evaluar la depresión clínica en adultos. Para ello, se realizó una búsqueda en las bases de datos bibliográficos Psicodoc y PsycINFO que permitió identificar 16 instrumentos muy utilizados en España para ese fin. Estos instrumentos fueron analizados respecto a si el contenido de sus ítems era apropiado para medir los síntomas de las definiciones de episodio depresivo y distimia del DSM-IV y la CIE-10 (relevancia) y respecto a si sus ítems eran proporcionales a los síntomas de tales definiciones (representatividad). Entre los instrumentos analizados, destacaban las diferentes versiones completas del Inventario de Depresión de Beck (BDI-I, BDI-IA y BDI-II), la Escala Autoaplicada de Depresión de Zung (SDS) y la Escala de Depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos (CES-D), ya que sus ítems presentaban un mayor grado de relevancia y representatividad del contenido de las definiciones sintomáticas de depresión clínica del DSM-IV y la CIE-10.
This study was aimed at analyzing, from the content validity perspective, the most popular self-report questionnaires, scales and inventories for assessing clinical depression in adults in Spain. To do this, electronic searches were conducted in two bibliographic databases: Psicodoc and PsycINFO. These searches revealed 16 instruments that are widely used in Spain to that aim. These instruments were analyzed with respect to whether the content of their items were appropriate for measuring the symptoms of the DSM-IV and ICD-10 definitions of depressive episode and dysthymia (relevance) and with respect to whether their items were proportional to the symptoms of those definitions (representativeness). Among the analyzed instruments, the following stood out: the full versions of the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-I, BDI-IA y BDI-II), the Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), since their items showed a greater degree of relevance and representativeness of the content of the DSM-IV and ICD-10 symptomatic definitions of clinical depression.
