  • Factor Structure of the Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, self-reported version (IDS-30-SR) Questionnaire on a Slovenian Sample
    Horvat, Katja, medicina ...
    Depression is a multifaceted psychiatric disorder that can be characterized by various symptom dimensions. Considering the prevalence and societal burden of depression, it is essential that validated ... instruments for diagnosis are used. In Slovenian cultural environment, only a few psychological que-stionnaires have been validated. Furthermore, existing questionnaires do not differentiate between different dimensions of depression. The Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (IDS-30) is a commonly used questionnaire for screening depression that accounts for all symptom dimensions specified by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The self-report version of IDS-30 has pre-viously been used in Slovenia, demonstrating its convergent validity. However, to date, its structural validity has not been tested. The present study investigates the factor structure of IDS-30. We re-plicated the three-factor structure consisting of mood/cognition, anxiety/somatics, and sleep di-sturbances that is widely reported in the literature. These dimensions of depression are supported by the neurobiological literature.
