Development and validation of the Thai mental well-being scale
Elsevier, 2022
Mental well-being is a state of positive mental health, but there is currently no valid tool for assessing mental wellbeing in the Thai population. The purpose of this research was to develop and validate a mental well-being scale for Thai people. Data from 2000 Thai citizens were analyzed to explore the structural components of mental wellbeing. Exploratory factor analysis (n ¼ 1000) was conducted and determined a mental well-being factor structure consisting of three factors: 1) positive emotion and thinking, 2) positive relationship and 3) positive functioning. Confirmatory factor analysis of a validation group (n ¼ 1000) identified 10 items within these three factors of mental well-being. Psychometric analyses supported internal consistency reliability, as well as convergent and discriminant validity of the scale. The findings suggest that the construction of this new mental well-being scale for Thai people is reliable and valid. This scale will be a useful tool for addressing and identifying mental health problems among the Thai population.
Development of the Thai Depression Inventory
JOURNAL-MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF …, 1999
The Thai Depression Inventory was developed as a self-rating instrument for measuring the severity of depression. The items used were based on widely used Western scales and on common manifestations and idioms of distress among depressed Thai subjects. The scale was tested with 50 depressed patients using the Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression as an external standard. The internal reliability and concurrent validity were good (Cronbach alpha = 0.858; r = 0.72). The items of psychomotor retardation and loss of libido were poorly correlated with the total score. Factor analysis revealed five distinct factors which accounted for 59.8 per cent of the total variance. Anxiety-insomnia factor was the predominant factor. For major depressive patients, the Thai Depression Inventory total score is 35 or above. The Thai Depression Inventory is a culturally appropriate instrument for measuring the severity of depression with satisfactory reliability and validity.

Aims: Because of the high patient load in Thailand, we need a practical measurement to help primary physicians detect depression. This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Thai version of the World Health Organization-Five Well-Being Index (WHO-5-T), which is short and easy to use as a screening tool for major depression in primary care patients.
Evaluating the English and Thai-Versions of the Psychological Well-Being Scale across Four Samples
Psychology
Psychological well-being is an important predictor for various health outcomes. This study aimed to test psychometric properties of the English-and Thai-version of the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWB-S). Four convenience samples were recruited in Singapore and Thailand; and the English and Thai-version of the PWB-S were used. Data collection included paper-andpencil and online self-reported questionnaires. Descriptive statistics and exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed to test the factorial structure of the scale. Correlations with external variable were utilized to test convergent validity. For all four samples, the PWB-S contained two distinct factors: The Autonomy & Growth (9-10 items) and Negative Triad factors (5-6 items). All four samples had acceptable fit indices and all factor loadings achieved statistical significance. All factors had significant correlations with external correlates and reliability coefficients were acceptable. Findings suggested that the English and Thai-version PWB-S had sound psychometric properties for Thai and Singaporean samples. Future research may use the English and Thai-version of PWB-S to assess psychological wellbeing among young people.
The Development and Testing of Thai Mental Health Indicator Version 2007
2013
Objective: 1) To develop a new Thai Mental Health Indicator version 2007 (TMHI-version 2007) and examine the instrumentus content validity, construct validity, reliability and normal rang 2) to deal with special situations, develop a condensed, or shorter version of the instrument, and through appropriate testing ensure that the shorter and longer versions were compatible in their results (the agreement study). Method: The project was divided into 2 phase. In phase I, content validity study was examined by mental health experts who met for 2 times (all two phases). Phase II, the construct validity study the norms for mental health in the Thai population, and agreement study, multi-state cluster random sampling of the Thai population was performed, with 3,184 people selected and divided according to region, urban and rural residence, and economic status (level 1,2,3). TMHI scores according to domain, sex, urban-rural, and region were also studied. Factor analysis, kappa statistic and...

PurposeAlthough health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has become an important outcome, specifically in regard to the impact of illness and treatment in patients with depression, few studies have explored the HRQOL of patients from different types of hospitals. This study aimed at examining a change in HRQOL of patients from various types of hospitalsDesign/methodology/approachA repeated measure was used in this study. Thirty participants in psychiatric outpatient units per center from the different types of hospitals, including a psychiatric hospital, regional hospital, general hospital and community hospital, were assessed with the Thai version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief (WHOQOL-BREF-THAI) questionnaire at the first visit, and after the 6th and 12th weeks of the treatment course.FindingsThe HRQOL scores for the participants were increased in each type of hospital from their first visit to the 6th week and 12th week (p

Opinion from psychiatric and social science experts, evaluating 13 study cases and 2 7 control cases, compared to the Global Assessment Scale (GAS) and to the changed scale of HRSD. Inter-rater and Intra-rater reliability and Internal consistency. Content validity is above 0.5 except the item oflnner tension, Lassitude and Inablilty to feel. Criterion validity when compared to DSM-IV TR or HRSD, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV were all 100%. Pearson correlation coefficients sensitive to change were -0. 49 (p -value = 0. 11) and 0. 679 (p-value = 0. 025) when compared to 1) DSM-IV TR and 2) HRSD, respectively. ICC oflnter-ra...
Predictors of Depressive Symptoms among Thai Undergraduate Students
Journal of Public Health and Development, 2022
Depression is a negative cognitive triad that consists of alternating amounts of alienation. In addition, this generally leads to inaction, remorse, lack of focus, societal disengagement, sleep disruptions, and suicidal impulses. The cross-sectional descriptive study intended to analyze depression and ascertain the influences of depression among 439 undergraduate students. These pupils were attending their second semester of the academic year 2020, Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand. Research instruments were self-report questionnaires, the 9-item patient health questionnaire, the Parenting Style Questionnaire, the Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale, and the revised Multi-dimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The Cronbach's alpha reliabilities comprised .85, .69, .72 and .92, respectively. Descriptive statistics and stepwise multiple regression analysis examined the data gathered. Results revealed that the mean score of depressive symptoms was 6.51 (SD = 4.27), which was minim...
