This study developed the Comprehensive ICF Core Set and Brief ICF Core Set for depression using a formal consensus process. These sets provide standardized measures for assessing depression

Area of Science:

  • Health Services Research
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Depression assessment lacks standardized tools.
  • The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) provides a framework for health and functioning.
  • Developing ICF Core Sets for depression is crucial for consistent evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop the first version of a Comprehensive ICF Core Set for depression.
  • To develop the first version of a Brief ICF Core Set for depression.
  • To establish a consensus-based approach for ICF Core Set development.

Main Methods:

  • A formal consensus process integrating evidence from preliminary studies.
  • Preliminary studies included a Delphi exercise, systematic review, and empirical data collection.

  • International experts identified relevant ICF categories based on training and preliminary findings.

    • Main Results:

    • A Comprehensive ICF Core Set for depression was defined, including 121 categories (89 second-level, 32 third-level).
    • The Comprehensive set comprises 45 body function, 48 activities and participation, and 28 environmental factor categories.
    • A Brief ICF Core Set for depression was defined, comprising 31 categories (9 body function, 12 activities and participation, 10 environmental factors).

    Conclusions:

    • ICF Core Sets for depression were successfully defined through a formal consensus process.
    • The Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Sets provide standardized frameworks for depression assessment.
    • This work establishes a foundation for consistent and evidence-based evaluation of functioning in depression.
