摘要
This study aimed to validate the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) in a sample of military personnel, through the analysis of psychometric properties, reliability, and confirmatory factorial analysis. The questionnaire consists of 8 items that allow the assessment of depressive symptoms. The sample included 127 Portuguese military personnel aged between 21 and 78 years old. The results revealed a good internal consistency (alpha=.90) and good adjustment indices (chi 2/df=1.332, GFI=.956, CFI=.988, RMSEA=.051, SRMR=.30). In addition, convergent validity also showed to be good and composite reliability was .873. Thus, the PHQ-8 reveals good psychometric properties, being recommended for use in clinical practice and research with Portuguese military.
