背景和目标：蒙哥马利-艾斯伯格抑郁评定量表（MADRS）是一种专家评定工具，用于评估抑郁症的严重程度和症状。本研究的目的是验证MADRS的波斯语版本，并确定其重测信度在诊断为重性抑郁障碍（MDD）的患者。方法：在研究1中，翻译MADRS和汉密尔顿抑郁量表（HDRS）被应用于210例诊断为MDD和100名健康成人。在研究2中，200名诊断为MDD的患者在面对面访谈中接受了MADRS评估。100例患者在3-14 d后再次进行面对面访谈，另100例患者在3-14 d后进行电话访谈。结果：研究1：MDD患者与健康对照组的MADRS和HDRS评分差异有统计学意义。MADRS和HDRS评分之间的一致性较高（r=0.95）。研究2：的组内相关系数（重测信度）为r=0.944的面对面采访，和r=0.959的电话intervention.Conclusion：目前的数据表明，波斯MADRS具有较高的效度和良好的重测信度超过3-14天的时间间隔，无论第二次评估是进行面对面或通过电话采访。
Background and aims: The Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS) is an expert's rating tool to assess the severity and symptoms of depression. The aim of the present two studies was to validate the Persian version of the MADRS and determine its test-retest reliability in patients diagnosed with major depressive disorders (MDD).Methods: In study 1, the translated MADRS and the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) were applied to 210 patients diagnosed with MDD and 100 healthy adults. In study 2,200 patients diagnosed with MDD were assessed with the MADRS in face-to-face interviews. Thereafter, 100 patients were assessed 3-14 days later, again via face-to-face-interviews, while the other 100 patients were assessed 3-14 days later via a telephone interview.Results: Study 1: The MADRS and HDRS scores between patients with MDD and healthy controls differed significantly. Agreement between scoring of the MADRS and HDRS was high (r=0.95). Study 2: The intraclass correlation coefficient (test-retest reliability) was r=0.944 for the face-to-face interviews, and r=0.959 for the telephone interviews.Conclusion: The present data suggest that the Persian MADRS has high validity and excellent test-retest reliability over a time interval of 3-14 days, irrespective of whether the second assessment was carried out face-to-face or via a telephone interview.
