Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Version of the Cardiac Depression Scale

Turkey (Türkiye)360 participantsStarted 2025-02-11

Plain-language summary

The Cardiac Depression Scale (CDS) in both its long and short forms has been validated in various languages and populations and is used to detect depression in individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, there is no validity and reliability study of the CDS for CVD patients in the Turkish population available in the literature, which prevents its use in Turkish population. The study aims to test the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of long and short forms of the CDS in Turkish individuals with CVD.
