The factor structure of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 in stroke: A comparison with a non-stroke population
Background
It is unclear if certain post-stroke somatic symptoms load onto items of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), a self-report depression questionnaire. We investigated these concerns in a stroke sample using factor analysis, benchmarked against a non-stroke comparison group.
Methods
The secondary dataset constituted 787 stroke and 12,016 non-stroke participants. A subsample of 1574 comparison participants was selected via propensity score matching. Dimensionality was assessed by comparing fit statistics of one-factor, two-factor, and bi-factor models. Between-group differences in factor structure were explored using measurement invariance.
Results
A two-factor model, consisting of somatic and cognitive-affective factors, showed better fit than the unidimensional model (CFI = 0.984 versus CFI = 0.974, p < .001), but the high correlation between the factors indicated unidimensionality (r = 0.866). Configural invariance between stroke and non-stroke was supported (CFI = 0.983, RMSEA = 0.080), as were invariant thresholds (p = .092) and loadings (p = .103). Strong invariance was violated (p < .001, ΔCFI = −0.003), stemming from differences in the tiredness and appetite intercepts. These differences resulted in a moderate overestimation of depression in stroke when using a summed score approach, relative to the comparison sample (Cohen's d = 0.434).
Conclusions
The findings suggest that the PHQ-9 measures a single factor in stroke. Because stroke patients may report higher tiredness on item 4, caution is advisable when classifying patients as depressed if they are near the cut-off and have significant post-stroke fatigue. Caution is also advised when comparing total scores between stroke and other populations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Psychosomatic Research is a multidisciplinary research journal covering all aspects of the relationships between psychology and medicine. The scope is broad and ranges from basic human biological and psychological research to evaluations of treatment and services. Papers will normally be concerned with illness or patients rather than studies of healthy populations. Studies concerning special populations, such as the elderly and children and adolescents, are welcome. In addition to peer-reviewed original papers, the journal publishes editorials, reviews, and other papers related to the journal''s aims.
