Development of the Depression Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (DCSES).

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument with which to measure the coping self-efficacy of depressed psychiatric patients. Item development arose from an extensive review of the literature and a survey of nurse experts for identification of coping actions for depressed patients. After pilot testing, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and study scale (DCSES) were given to 150 depressed inpatients and 24 nondepressed community volunteers. Using a variety of procedures, the DCSES was shortened to 24 items and tested on a group of 51 subjects from the same depressed population. Preliminary analyses support the use of the DCSES to measure coping self-efficacy of depressed psychiatric patients.

Psychiatric hospitalization and process description: what will nursing add?

1. Inpatient treatment programs operating in the managed care environment must clearly articulate their treatment outcomes and the processes of care that are connected to these outcomes. 2. The work of inpatient psychiatric nurses can be organized and articulated through the therapeutic processes of the Four S Model: Safety, Structure, Support, and Symptom Management. 3. Nurses are vital contributors to the inpatient treatment process, but will be marginalized if they are unable to articulate how their interventions contribute to the positive treatment outcomes.
