Abstract:

Objective: Psychological distress questionnaires are often used as screening instruments for mental disorders in clinical and epidemiologic settings. Poor physical health may affect the screening properties of a questionnaire. We evaluate the effect of self-perceived health status on the screening performance of the Kessler K10 and K6 scales in a community sample. Methods: We used data from the Canadian Community Health Survey: Mental Health and Well-Being (CCHS 1.2). Psychological distress was measured by the 6–item (K6) and the 10–item (K10) Kessler instrument. Depression and anxiety disorde

Abstract:

This study is the first to examine the diagnostic accuracy of two depression screening scales—the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)—in an entire regular-serving military population. Currently serving Australian Defence Force personnel ( n = 24,481) completed the K10 and PHQ9. Then a targeted subsample (i.e., the analysis sample, n = 1,730) completed a diagnostic interview to identify DSM-IV 30-day disorder. Weighted results represented the entire population ( N = 50,049). Both scales similarly showed a good ability to discriminate between per

Abstract:

There has been little international research looking at differences in mental health across different age groups. This study examines mental health inequities between transgender people and the Aotearoa/New Zealand general population from youth to older adulthood. The 2018 Counting Ourselves survey (N = 1178) assessed participants’ mental health using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and diagnoses of depression and anxiety disorders, questions that were the same as those used in the New Zealand Health Survey. Our results showed significant mean score differences for transgender p

Abstract:

Background: The application of measurement science in early intervention mental health is in its infancy, with a lack of youth-centred and culturally specific measures. Kessler’s Distress Scale (K10) is widely recommended to evaluate youth mental health services internationally, even though its suitability has been assessed incompletely. Our aim was to examine the K10’s fitness for purpose as an outcome measure for evaluating integrated care services for youth age 12-24 years. Method: We conducted a qualitative study evaluating the K10’s development against current recommendations for developi

Abstract:

IntroductionA significant proportion of the global burden of disease has been attributed to mental and behavioural disorders. People with mental disorders (MDs) have lower levels of health-related quality of life than those without MDs. Several studies have shown that in low-resource countries, a range of social determinants including poor health literacy is critical in the epidemiological transition of disease outcome. There is a lack of evidence of MDs literacy, the prevalence and risk factors of common mental health conditions, or any validated instruments to measure psychological distress

Abstract. An increase in psychological distress is one of the side effects caused by physical distancing. Social support has the greatest influence on psychological distress. Perceived social support is a form of support that does not have to involve real support and is more subjective in nature, depending on how individuals perceive the support provided by others. A person's perception of the existence of support from social support sources is negatively related to psychological distress.
