AB  - INTRODUCTIONS: This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the 
      Chinese version of the Sheehan Disability Scale (SDS-C) among depression patients 
      in Taiwan. METHODS: To validate the SDS-C, two samples were selected: Sample 1 
      (n = 78) consisted of patients diagnosed with Depressive Disorder, while sample 2 
      (n = 63) consisted of a nondepressive population. Sample 1 was evaluated with SDS 
      twice with 7-14 days interval to measure test-retest reliability. Both samples 
      were also evaluated with The Centre for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale 
      (CESD), Family APGAR (adaptation, partnership, growth, affection, resolve) score, 
      the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF), and brief questionnaire of the World 
      Health Organization Quality of Life instrument (WHOQOL-BREF) and by a 
      psychiatrist. The two samples were combined to measure validity. RESULTS: In 
      concurrent validity, SDS-C scores were significantly correlated with the total 
      score of GAF. The discriminative validity was carried out by comparing the score 
      of SDS-C between subjects with and without current depressive disorder 
      (t = 12.32, df = 139, P < 0.001). Another discriminative validity by 
      receiver-operating characteristic analysis showed the optimal cut-point was >11 
      (sensitivity: 82.1, specificity: 93.7). The area under the curve was 0.93 
      (+/-0.02). For the factor validity, principal components analysis showed that a 
      single factor solution was the best solution accounting for 88.9% of the 
      variance. Regarding the construct validity, SDS-C scores were significantly 
      correlated with CESD, WHOQOL-BREF, and the Family APGAR score. For test-retest 
      reliability, the intra-class correlation coefficient for the total SDS-C score 
      was 0.89 (95% confidence interval 0.82-0.93) and internal consistency Cronbach's 
      alpha was 0.94. DISCUSSION: The SDS-C was found to be a valid and reliable 
      instrument for current depressive disorder patients in Taiwan.
