Objectives There is a controversy regarding the construct validity of anxiety and depression. Some believe that these two symptoms are basically the same construct, that is, both measure what is called 'general distress' or two phenomena are distinct experiences which often coexist. To further understand relationship between anxiety and depressive symptoms, we investigated the factor structure of a combined anxiety and depression scale among psychiatric outpatients. Methods Data of Zung's Self-Rating Depression and Anxiety Scales were gathered from 401 newly visiting psychiatric outpatients at a university-affiliated hospital. We performed a component analysis on the 40 items from two scales. Results Exploratory factor analysis revealed a seven factor structure explaining 56% of total variance. Overall finding indicated that depression and anxiety scales consisted of four symptom domains : mainly depressive symptoms, mainly anxiety symptoms, common somatic symptoms, and others. Conclusions Our results suggest that the construct of self-reported depressive and anxiety symptoms are more complex than previously thought, i.e., either one or two factor theories. These findings also support that anxiety and depression can be better modeled by dimensional approach. Clinicians may be alert for the fact that both depression and anxiety scales measure distinct and also common aspects. Further researches on other scales especially, interview based instruments are needed.

우울의 존재나 정도를 양적으로 측정하고 평가하기 위한 한국형 자가평가 우울척도를 연구 개발하기 위하여 1994년 8월 부터 1995년 6월까지 검사 당시 정상적인 사회 활동에 참여하고 있는 중학교, 고등학교 및 대학교 학생 그리고 일반 성인 및 그 가족을 중심으로 남자 173명(51.8%), 여자 161명(48.2%)으로 총 334명을 대상으로 하였다. 이들에게 Zung의 자가평가 우울척도를 한국형으로 번안하여 조사 방법으로 시행하였다. 본 조사에서 수집된 자료는 종합 검토하여 불충분한 자료를 제거하고 SPSS의 프로그램을 통해서 분석하였다. 문항 분석을 시행하여 각 문항간의 상관관계 및 문항 내적 상관도를 구하여 SDS의 신뢰도를 검증한 후, SDS의 문항 구성에 대한 내용을 알아 보기 위해 요인분석을 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 전체 우울 접수의 평균은 $40.60{\pm}8.66$이였고, 전체 우울 점수의 분포는 50점 이상인 경우가 11.1%(37명)이었다. 본 척도의 신뢰도 검증에서는 검사-재검사의 신뢰도 계수는 0.82(p < .001), 항목-전체간의 상관계수의 평균치는 0.42(0.08-0.65), 내적 일관성은 0.84(p < .001)을 나타내어서 모두 통계적으로 의미있는 신뢰도를 보여주었다. 요인분석에서는 5개의 요인이 추출되었는데, 이러한 점은 우울이 여러가지 요소로 구성되어 있을 가능성도 시사한다. 우울척도에서 항목별로 높게 평가한 상위 문항들은 혼동, 우유부단, 성욕감소, 일주기성 변화 및 정신운동 지연 등의 순서이었고, 항목별 하위 문항은 자살사고의 반추, 정신운동 흥분, 변비, 과민성 및 체중감소 등의 항목이었다.

This study is planned to gather necessary data for setting up a system on students' health care in the university. In order to obtain statistical data on the students' health care problems especially in 'depression' among the mental health problems of the students, 'The Beck Depression Inventory' by A. T. Beck and 'Zung's Self-Rating Depression Scale' by W. W. K. Zung were used for gathering numerical data of scale of depression. It is evident that we have to prepare for further medical examination and health care educations for several students. For these students, it is clear that they have problems not only in mental health but also in physical health. I have screened out the high scored students for comparison and analysis. And it disclosed that we have to build up a periodical and continuous 'Health Screening System' utilizing Health Questionnaire for both physical and mental aspects, which will bring up us the very exact result to pick out any person who has healthy problem among the enormous number of the students with handy, convenient and effective procedures but with the least expense and effort. Also it is my firm confidence that this system will be applicable for primary health care control of mass population in local community or any organization.

Purpose: The study was attempted to provide basic materials for development of nursing-intervention programs by examining effects of growth hormone therapy on the quality of life, depression and self-esteem. Method: A survey was conducted for 31 adult outpatients as experimental group who have received growth hormone therapy more than 6 months and for 29 adults as control group who have not. A scale developed by Hilditch was used to measure their quality of life and also, the Zung's Self-rating Depression Scale and the Rosenberg's Self-esteem Scale were adopted to measure their depression and self-esteem each. Data were analyzed using one-way and two-way ANOVA Result: 1) there were differences between the two groups in the overall measurement of the quality of life. the growth hormone therapy group was higher in sub-factors 2) There were clear-cut differences between the two groups in depression, so that the control group marked higher score in the measurement of depression. 3) Self-esteem was not identical across the two groups, so that it was more higher for the growth hormone treatment group. Conclusion: Those findings suggest that development of education programs related to growth hormone and nursing-intervention is promising.

Purpose: To survey the functional status, self-esteem and depression of a community of indwelling clients with total laryngectomy, and to evaluate the correlation among these three variances. Methods: From May 2002 to October 2002, 76 clients who had undergone total laryngectomy more than three months ago were surveyed with using Baker's functional status in head & neck cancer-self report, Rosenberg's self rating self-esteem scale and Zung's self rating depression scale. Results: 1. The functionaI status score was $48.67{\pm}10.12$. The subjects aged 70 years or older had significantly higher scores than the subjects aged $50{\sim}59$ years. The group of clients who were operated on more than five years ago showed higher scores than the patients operated on within a year. 2. The self-esteem score was $30.47{\pm}6.44$. 3. The depression score was $47.26{\pm}8.01$. The subjects who bad three family members and the subjects who had five family members had significantly higher scores than the subjects who had two family members. 4. A significant correlation found between the functional status and self-esteem. Significant negative correlations were found between the functional status and depression and also between self-esteem and depression. Conclusion: Remarkable correlations were observed among functional status, self-esteem and depression. Nurses should consider the status of layngectomy patients and pay more attention to their pre- and post- operative nursing care and rehabilitation.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to investigate the influencing factors on anxiety and depression before and after prosthetic treatment in the patients. Methods: A self-reported questionnaire was completed by 248 patients with tooth loss and over 20 years old. The questionnaire was carried out before and after oral examination and dental prosthetic treatment from July to December, 2013. The study instruments included Beck's anxiety inventory and self-rating depression scale by Zung. The questionnaire was adapted and modified from Kwon's anxiety inventory and Lee's depression scale. Results: While the anxiety level increased from 69.4% to 78.2% in the normal people, the depression level changed from 53.2% to 64.1% in the normal people. The gender variable had a positive effect on anxiety and depression while educational level had a negative effect on them. The dental fear was closely related to anxiety and depression before and after the prosthetic treatment. The entire body health perception showed a negative effect on anxiety and depression. The distrust towards the dentist had an influence on the anxiety and depression in the prosthetic patients. Conclusions: The influencing factors on anxiety and depression in the prosthetic patients included gender, dental fear, entire body perception, and distrust towards the dentist.
