Depression at the end of life is a common mental health issue with serious implications for quality of life and end of life decision making. This study investigated the reliability and validity of one of the most frequently used measures of depression, the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D) in 422 patients with terminal cancer admitted to a palliative care hospital. The HAM-D demonstrated high reliability and concurrent validity with a diagnosis of depression, based on Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID-I/NP Depression Module). ROC analyses generated an AUC of .91, indicating high sensitivity and specificity. Convergent validity was established through strong correlations with several measures of distress (e.g., hopelessness, desire for hastened death, suicidal ideation). Factor analysis generated four factors (anxiety, depressed mood, insomnia, and somatic symptoms) that accounted for 42% of the variance. Implications for assessing depression in patients with terminal cancer are discussed.
