RESUMO

No presente trabalho apresentamos os estudos leva-dos a cabo para adaptar o Questionário de Experiências Depressivas (Q.E.D.) de Sidney Blatt e colegas para a população portuguesa. Iniciamos o artigo com uma breve exposição dos aspectos centrais da conceptualização de Sidney Blatt sobre a depressão. Descrevemos depois a versão original do Q.E.D. e as suas propriedades psicométricas. Posteriormente apresentamos o processo de tradução do instrumento, a sua aplicação experimental, a demonstração da equivalência linguística cruzada entre a versão original e a versão portuguesa e, finalmente, alguns estudos psicométricos com a versão portuguesa do questionário, nomeadamente relativos à análise da estrutura factorial e de consistência interna. Calculámos também os valores das médias, medianas e desvios-padrão nas escalas do Q.E.D. e no Inventário de Depressão de Beck, de duas amostras portuguesas de estudantes universitários: uma de rapazes e outra de raparigas utilizadas neste processo de adaptação e comparámos essas duas amostras entre si, no que respeita aos valores médios nas escalas do Q.E.D. Comparámo-las também com as amostras americanas de rapazes e raparigas do estudo de replicação do estudo original de aferição. Calculámos ainda as correlações entre as escalas do Q.E.D. entre si e entre cada uma delas e o Inventáriode Depressão de Beck. Os resultados obtidos são, de uma forma geral, bastante satisfatórios, apesar de ser necessário levar a cabo mais estudos de validade e também de precisão teste-reteste.

Palavras-chave: Adaptação, Questionário de Experiências Depressivas, Sidney Blatt, estudos psicométricos, versão portuguesa.

 

ABSTRACT

In these work we present the studies carried out to adapt the Depressive Experiences Questionnaire (D.E.Q.) by Sidney Blatt and coleagues to the Portuguese population. We begin the paper with a brief presentation of Blatt's theory of depression. Than we describe the original version of D.E.Q. and its psychometric properties. After that we present the translation process of the instrument, its experimental aplication, the demonstration of the linguistic equivalence between the original version and the Portuguese version and finaly we present some psychomteric studies with the Portuguese version of the questionnaire, namely of factorial structure and internal consistency. We also calculate the means, medians and standard-deviations on the D.E.Q. scales and on Beck Depression Inventory of a Portuguese female and male college student samples used in the adaptation processs and we compared those two samples on D.E.Q. results. We also compared them with the American female and male samples used in the replication study of the original standardization study. We also calculate the correlations between D.E.Q. scales and between them and the Beck Depression Inventory. The results obtained are generally quite satisfactory, but it will be necessary to carry out more validity studies and also of test-retest reliability.

Key words: Adaptation, Depressive Experiences Questionnaire, Sidney Baltt, psychometric studies, Portuguese version.
