Abstract

Objectives This study investigates the assessment of change of depressive symptoms and severity of depression with the Health of the Nation Outcome Scales (HoNOS) in an inpatient setting. Method Participants were 132 adults diagnosed with depressive disorder (F32: n=102;F33: n=30). Bivariate correlations were used to determine the correlation of the HoNOS with self-reported (BDI) and observer-rated depressive symptoms (HAMD). The predictive validity of the HoNOS was analysed with linear regression models. Results The HoNOS differentiated significantly between patients with moderate versus severe depression at baseline (p<0,05). It correlated with the HAMD change score (r=0,25, p<0,008), but not with the BDI change score (r=0,19, p>0,008).The HoNOS was not a significant predictor of observer-rated depression at discharge (=0,03, p>0,05). Conclusion As the HoNOS only partially seems to assess the change and severity of depressive symptoms, it should only be used in combination with depression-specific instruments.
