  • Data Collection: Administered at treatment admission and discharge.

    • Main Results:

    • Depression coping self-efficacy levels were significantly related to depressive symptom severity (CES-D).
    • Self-efficacy was also associated with global functioning (GAF), particularly post-treatment.
    • The DCSES demonstrated strong correlations with established measures of depression and functioning.

    Conclusions:

    • The Depression Coping Self-Efficacy Scale (DCSES) exhibits good construct validity for patients with depressive disorders.
    • DCSES shows promise for measuring and targeting nursing interventions related to coping self-efficacy.
    • Findings support the use of DCSES in clinical settings to guide treatment and evaluate intervention effectiveness.
