Rien n'est plus éprouvant que ce sentiment d'être pris au piège d'une situation sans issue. Mais en parcourant les pages "plus" de ce site...
En observant...
Les expériences individuelles. Et les données statistiques.
En confrontant...
Les convictions. Et le résultat des recherches.
En interrogeant...
Les certitudes. Et les possibles.
Il se pourrait que vous retrouviez un peu de cette liberté de choix qui vous semblait perdue.
Dès cet instant, les choses ne seront plus tout à fait comme avant.

AbstractBackground. We have developed the Major Depression Inventory (MDI), consisting of 10 items, covering the DSM-IVas well as the ICD-10 symptoms of depressive illness.Weaimed to evaluate this as a scale measuring severity of depressive states with reference to both internal and external validity. Method. Patients representing the score range from no depression to marked depression on the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) completed the MDI. Both classical and modern psychometric methods were applied for the evaluation of validity, including the Rasch analysis. Results. In total, 91 patients were included. The results showed that the MDI had an adequate internal validity in being a unidimensional scale (the total score an appropriate or sufficient statistic). The external validity of the MDI was also confirmed as the total score of the MDI correlated significantly with the HAM-D (Pearson’s coefficient 0.86, Pf0.01, Spearman 0.80, Pf0.01). Conclusion. When used in a sample of patients with different states of depression the MDI has an adequate internal and external validity. Consulter/TéléchargerTélécharger à partir de: www.therapiebreve.be |
