Objective: To use the Psychosomatic Symptoms Scale(PSSS), the 9-item Patient Health Questionnaire(PHQ-9), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale(GAD-7), and the Patient Health Questionnaire Somatic Symptoms Group Scale(PHQ-15) to evaluate patients with depressive episode to explore the efficacy of PSSS in assessing depression, anxiety, and psychosomatic symptoms. Methods: A total of 193 patients with depressive episode were selected. The depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms and somatic symptom were assessed by PSSS, PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PHQ-15 on the enrollment day and 2 weekends, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis was performed on the score of each scale and 2-week reduction rate before and after treatment to evaluate the equivalence between PSSS and other scales. Results: Before and after treatment, PSSS scores were significantly positively correlated with PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PHQ-15 scores(P<0.001); There was a significant positive correlation between the reduction rate of PSSS scores and PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PHQ-15 scores(P<0.001); Compared with PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PHQ-15 in the evaluation of the efficacy of depression, anxiety and somatic symptoms(reduction rate ≥ 50%), there was no statistical significance in PSSS(P>0.05). Conclusion: The PSSS can be used as a tool to evaluate the severity of depression, anxiety and psychosomatic symptoms in patients with depressive episode. |
