| description | Objectives: The objective of this study is to validate the Malay version of the
Centre for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CESD) among adolescents.
Methods: Nine hundred and thirty-one adolescents completed the Malay version
of CESD and Hopkins Symptom Checklist-depression scale (HSCL-depression).
Results: Results showed that the internal consistency of both the scale as a whole
and the subscales was highly consistent. The concurrent validity was established
by examining the relationship between CESD with the HSCL-depression scale. It
showed a significant correlation between the two scales. The factor structure was
similar to that observed in previous studies in other samples. Three factors were
extracted, which accounted for 48.4% of the variance: a depressive affect factor;
a positive affect factor and somatic symptoms factor which were combined with
interpersonal items. Conclusion: The Malay version of CESD with 20 items has
satisfactory psychometric properties and can be used for Malaysian adolescents. |
