主要结局
The Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II)
时间窗: 2 weeks
The scale was developed by (Beck, 1979; Beck, Steer, \& Brown, 1996a; Beck, Ward, Mendelson, Mock, \& Erbaugh, 1961). It is a standardized self-report rating inventory that measures attitudes and symptoms of depression in normal and populations with psychiatric disorders. The BDI-II contains 21 items across two Affective and Somatic subscales. Each item is measured on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 (symptom absent) to 3 (severe symptoms). In addition, items of sleep and appetite were assessed over seven options to determine their hypo or hyperactivity level. The minimum score is 0, and the maximum score is 63, while higher scores indicate greater severity of depressive symptoms. The total score of 0-13 is considered the minimal range of depressive symptoms; 14-19 is mild; 20-28 is moderate, and 29-63 is severe.
