Abstract

This study aimed to test the validity and reliability of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale-6 (K6) with a nationally representative clinical sample with various mental health disorders. The cross-sectional, nationally representative, and publicly available data were extracted from the 2014 Health Center Patient Survey (HCPS), which was sponsored by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). After excluding certain individuals for the purpose of this study, we had a total of 1,863 participants. The highest and lowest psychological distress weighted scores were reported by individuals with bipolar disorder (M = 17.16) and individuals with schizophrenia (M = 16.09), respectively, although psychological distress interference was highest in individuals with schizophrenia (M = 2.44). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) results yielded a unidimensional factor solution for K6 scale in all subgroups. The K6 is a brief, reliable, and valid measure of psychological distress in adults with panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.

一项评估短期Kessler心理困扰量表（K6）有效性和心理指标的全国性研究

本研究旨在以具有全国代表性的各类心理健康障碍患者为研究对象，检验《凯斯勒心理困扰量表-6》(K6)的效度和信度。横断面的、具有全国代表性的、公开可用的数据是从2014年健康中心患者调查(HCPS)中提取的，该调查由卫生资源和服务管理局(HRSA)赞助。为了本研究的目的，在排除了某些参与者后，我们总共有1863名参与者。双相情感障碍患者(M = 17.16)和精神分裂症患者(M = 16.09)的心理困扰加权得分最高和最低，精神分裂症患者的心理困扰干扰最高(M = 2.44)。探索性因子分析(EFA)和验证性因子分析(CFA)结果得出各亚组K6量表的单维因子解。K6是一种简短、可靠、有效的测量成人惊恐障碍、广泛性焦虑障碍、双相情感障碍和精神分裂症心理困扰的方法。

期刊介绍： Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin (RCB) publishes articles on rehabilitation counseling with a major emphasis on data-based research reports, although other types of contributions to professional knowledge in rehabilitation counseling will be considered. Examples include articles that explain an innovative technique or application, point/ counterpoint debates on a current controversy challenging the profession, or insightful essays on an important issue. Contributions of these kinds may be considered for a special section of RCB. Article topics cover a wide range—from ethical dilemmas related to counseling clients with HIV/AIDS to clinical problem solving in micro–case management.
