Abstract

The study’s objective is to validate the Malay version of the Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4) among Malaysian undergraduates. A cross-sectional survey was distributed at three universities in Malaysia (N = 500; mean age = 21.66 ± 1.57). The internal consistency of the Malay PHQ-4 was acceptable (α = .78, 95 % CI [.74, .81]), while the test-retest reliability was good (ICC = .77, 95 % CI [.34, .91], p < .001). The one-factor structure showed the best fit in confirmatory factor analysis and was similar across sexes. The Malay PHQ-4 has acceptable psychometric properties and can be used for pre-clinical screening purposes among Malaysian undergraduate students.

在马来西亚大学生中验证马来语版患者健康问卷-4（PHQ-4）

本研究的目的是在马来西亚大学生中验证马来语版的患者健康问卷-4（PHQ-4）。研究人员在马来西亚三所大学进行了横向调查（样本数=500；平均年龄=21.66 ± 1.57）。马来语 PHQ-4 的内部一致性可以接受（α = .78, 95 % CI [.74, .81]），而测试-再测可靠性良好（ICC = .77, 95 % CI [.34, .91], p <.001）。在确认性因素分析中，单因素结构显示出最佳拟合度，并且在不同性别间具有相似性。马来 PHQ-4 具有可接受的心理测量特性，可用于马来西亚本科生的临床前筛查。
