我们解决了三个问题：绝望与抑郁和一般行为的关系，绝望对治疗中已知的医院变量在行为和自杀因素方面的相对贡献，以及高和低水平绝望对抑郁变量、行为和自杀因素的影响。 50 名精神病住院患者分别接受贝克抑郁量表、老年绝望量表 (GHS) 和老年抑郁量表，并通过 MACC 行为调整量表对关键行为指标进行评级。通过访谈和记录检查来评估自杀意念和过去的自杀行为。结果表明，绝望与抑郁有关，尤其是抑郁的心理成分和行为。绝望还增加了医院常规信息中的整体行为，尤其是合作和社会接触。最后，高水平和低水平绝望患者的心理抑郁和行为存在差异，但自杀指数没有差异。 GHS 被认为是适合精神病患者使用的工具。
We address three issues: the relationship of hopelessness to depression and general behavior, the relative contribution of hopelessness to known hospital variables in treatment with respect to behavior and suicidal factors, and the influence of high-and low-level hopelessness on depression variables, behavior, and suicidal factors. Fifty psychiatric inpatients were individually administered the Beck Depression Inventory, the Geriatric Hopelessness Scale (GHS), and the Geriatric Depression Scale and were rated on key behavioral indexes by the MACC Behavior Adjustment Scale. Suicide ideation and past suicidal behavior were evaluated in an interview and by a record check. Results show that hopelessness is related to depression, especially the psychological components of depression and behavior. Hopelessness also adds to routine hospital information for total behavior, especially cooperation and social contact. Finally, high- and low-level hopelessness patients differ on psychological depression and behavior but not on suicidal indexes. The GHS is considered an instrument suitable for use with psychiatric patients.
