| dc.description.abstract | Purpose
of
the
study
was
to
examine
the
reliability
and
applicability
ofGHQ
28
in
identifying
psychological
problems
in
Indian
women
from
the
state
ofGujarat
and
also
to
determine
the
inter
correlations
between
the
subscales.
The
instrument
was
translated
into
Gujarati
language
and
administered
to
383
women
from
lower
socioeconomic
status
from
urban
communities,
All
women
were
background
and
prone
to
domestic
violence.
Cronbach
Alpha
revealed
a low
reliability
for
the
social
dysfunction subscale.
Two
of
its
items
had
an
extremely
low
and
insignificant
correlation
with
the
other
5 items
within
the
scale,
Further,
Factor
analysis
showed
the
social
dysfunction
scale
as
having
two
components
instead
of
the
expected
one.
Scoring
with
the
Likert
method
and
using
a cut-off
score
of24
revealed
that
about
62.4
%
of
the
women
were
identified
as
probable
cases
with
psychological
problems
and
needed
second
level
screening
for
diagnosis.Poverty
and
domestic
violence
could
account
for
the
high
scores.
Anxiety
and
somatic
complaints
were
the
most
prominent
problems
among
them.
Anxiety,
somatic
and
depression
subscales
were
significantly
correlated. | |
