PURPOSE:The purpose of this study was to compare participants' and a psychiatric nurse specialist's reports on factors precipitating depression and to validate a depression screening instrument.DESIGN AND METHODS:Participants were screened for and asked to self-report causative factors of their depression. Participants with moderately severe and severe depressive symptoms received a psychiatric nurse specialist assessment.FINDINGS:Participants self-reported several causative factors of depression. The psychiatric nurse specialist discovered these plus additional factors. The screening instrument was found to be reliable and valid for the measurement of depressive symptoms.PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS:Participant self-report identifies many causative factors of depression. The psychiatric nurse specialist identifies additional factors, allowing individualized diagnoses and treatments.
