Workplace phubbing (being ignored during an interaction because a colleague is attending to a mobile phone) is increasingly common in clinical settings and may function as a subtle interpersonal stressor relevant to nursing teamwork, occupational well-being, and cooperative functioning. This cross-sectional survey examined associations between perceived workplace phubbing and self-reported job performance (overall, in-role, and extra-role). It tested whether resilience and perceived phubbing norms were related to performance. Nurses and nurse assistants from six public hospitals in Northern Greece provided eligible questionnaires (N = 338). In the primary overall-score models, being phubbed was positively associated with total and in-role performance but not with extra-role performance. In secondary dimension-level models, perceived phubbing norms were positively associated with all three performance outcomes, whereas feeling ignored and interpersonal conflict were not independent predictors. Resilience was positively associated with total, in-role, and extra-role performance. The GSBP total × resilience interaction was statistically significant only for in-role performance; however, simple-slope interpretation indicated attenuation of a positive association at higher resilience rather than buffering of an adverse association. Overall, resilience appeared to function as an independent correlate of perceived work performance rather than as evidence of the hypothesized buffering of a negative phubbing–performance association. These findings suggest that workplace phubbing should be understood as a context-dependent interpersonal phenomenon rather than a uniform performance risk. Clarifying digital-attention norms and protecting inclusive communication during key clinical interactions may support teamwork, psychosocial climate, and occupational well-being among nurses.
During the development of theories that took place in the human and social sciences during the second half of the 20th century, when the current of postmodernism was particularly prevalent among French thinkers (French Theory), the human body preoccupied philosophy and sociology as a social construction in relation to other parameters such as the question of power and knowledge. The purpose of this study is to highlight the main aspects of the relevant interventions according to the pioneering conception of Michel Foucault, and the criticisms made by persons with opposing philosophical and sociological views on scientific questions, taking as a case study the medical and nursing care in the clinical field. One of the parameters that was affected is the way in which nursing education is influenced by the postmodern approach in the context of the clinical field such as operating theatre (OT), intensive care units, wards and the emergency department. One question is formed regarding the power of people in charge of nursing education, with the resulting discipline and the ability to produce knowledge, the way knowledge is preserved and the power structures within which nursing education is provided. The observation of nursing consciousness from the theoretical perspective of postmodernism gives rise to certain hypotheses regarding the contribution to maintaining knowledge and the implementation of good practices in the clinical environment. Similarly, the development of skills raises the question of contribution to the maintenance of a nurse's knowledge and empowering him/her to provide quality healthcare.
BACKGROUND:Job performance (JP) in non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is shaped by both facilitating and inhibiting psychological factors. While self-efficacy (SE) enhances motivation and task execution, Type D personality, characterized by negative affectivity (NA) and social inhibition (SI), has been associated with poor work outcomes. However, limited research has examined these variables in nonprofit environments. This study aimed to explore the predictive role of SE and Type D personality on in-role and extra-role job performance among NGO employees in Greece. OBJECTIVE:This study examines whether SE and Type D personality traits (NA and SI) predict in-role and extra-role job performance among employees working in Greek NGOs. METHODS:A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and March 2025 among 175 NGO employees using convenience sampling. Participants completed the Job Performance Scale (JPS), the Type D Personality Questionnaire (DS14), and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE). Data were analyzed using non-parametric tests and multivariate linear regression. RESULTS:Multiple regression analyses revealed that SE consistently emerged as a positive predictor of JP, enhancing both in-role (β = 0.350, p < 0.01) and extra-role performance (β = 0.342, p < 0.01). In contrast, the Type D personality trait of SI was a negative predictor of extra-role (β = -0.158, p < 0.05) and overall JP (β = -0.450, p < 0.01), while NA was not significant. Being married was associated with lower in-role (β = -0.768, p < 0.05) and overall JP (β = -0.203, p < 0.01), and male gender predicted higher extra-role performance (β = 1.319, p < 0.05). The models explained 27.9% of the variance in in-role JP, 21.5% in extra-role JP, and 29.3% in overall JP. CONCLUSIONS:SE and SI emerged as key psychological predictors of performance in the NGO workplace. Interventions that strengthen SE and reduce SI, such as cognitive-behavioral training, peer mentoring, and psychologically safe work climates, may enhance employee effectiveness. These findings are especially relevant for Greek NGOs operating under economic and organizational constraints. Future longitudinal and mixed-methods studies are recommended to explore causal pathways and inform workforce development strategies in mission-driven sectors.
Background:The use and innovation of continuous glucose monitoring systems (CGMs) offer a wealth of information regarding glycemic variability on a day-to-day basis, providing the opportunity to assess the broader picture of glycemic control compared with the static data from Blood Glucose Monitors. Diabetes self-management structured education (DSMSE) is the cornerstone of successful diabetes management. Educational programs on CGMs self-management, structured following National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, have shown remarkable outcomes in glycemic management, technology acceptance and adherence, user satisfaction, and the reduction of diabetes-related distress. Purpose:Our study aims to gather information on all available structured educational programs for CGM self-management in people with type one diabetes and analyze their characteristics. Methods:The study is a mixed-method systematic review (PROSPERO registration number CRD42024579331). We searched the following databases (Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO) from inception to May 7, 2024. Results:We included nine studies documenting nine structured educational programs on CGM self-management. These studies, published between 2019 and 2023, targeted adults, adolescents, and pediatric populations with type one diabetes using real-time CGM (rt-CGM) or intermittent scanning CGM (isCGM). Overall, 7/9 programs (ie, the CGM Academy, both versions, Spectrum, Flash, IDEAL, Share-plus, and ABC/is-CGM) met all the criteria for structured educational programs. Conclusion:Taking into consideration any limitation due to study heterogeneity, programs such as Spectrum and CGM Academy serve as comprehensive models, for CGM self-management education, as they meet all the NICE UK structured education criteria, and offer the most robust, holistic, and evidence-based curricula. They incorporate the most effective approaches, methods, and materials based on literature and utilize rt-CGM technology, which broader clinical evidence suggests is superior to isCGM in improving Time in Range and reducing hypoglycemia. The CGM Academy is particularly suited for pediatric and young adult populations, whereas Spectrum targets all populations (pediatric and adult) regardless of the rt-CGM manufacturer.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:Palliative care (PC) has traditionally focused on patients with cancer and their families. However, individuals living with advanced non-malignant chronic diseases and their caregivers face comparable challenges that significantly affect their quality of life. This study aimed to explore the PC needs of patients with advanced non-malignant chronic conditions through the lived experiences of both patients and their informal caregivers. METHODS:Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight patients and nine caregivers recruited via the Municipality of Katerini "Help at Home" program (Jan-Mar 2025). Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim (in Greek), and analyzed inductively using reflexive thematic analysis. Ethical approval was obtained from the International Hellenic University (Ref. No. 18/22.12.2022), and official consent was gained from the Municipality of Katerini (Approval Ref. No. 7803-/30/01/2025). RESULTS:Five themes emerged: (1) basic daily care and physical support; (2) psychosomatic and emotional impact; (3) social withdrawal and role change; (4) support systems and coping resources; and (5) experience with the healthcare system and organized care. Participants highlighted urgent needs for home-based physiotherapy/nursing, caregiver respite, and psychological support. Coping and resilience-related resources-expressed through family support, familiarity of the home environment, and spirituality-were described as essential mechanisms that helped dyads sustain home care and shaped how needs were experienced across multiple domains, particularly amid service gaps. CONCLUSIONS:These findings document complex, interlinked needs among patients with advanced non-malignant chronic conditions and their caregivers and support the development of community-based, integrated PC services. Larger, multicenter studies and the development/validation of a needs-assessment tool are recommended.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:Patients with advanced non-malignant chronic conditions experience illness burdens and palliative care needs comparable to those of oncology patients, yet palliative care is often introduced late. Identifying individuals with potential palliative care needs is complex, and although multiple tools exist, the most appropriate approach for assessing needs in this population remains unclear. This umbrella review aimed to identify and evaluate tools used to systematically assess palliative care in adults with advanced non-malignant chronic conditions, with a specific focus on their content, structure, and psychometric properties. METHODS:An umbrella review of systematic reviews was conducted in accordance with the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidance. Four electronic databases (Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO) were searched from inception to 30 June 2025. Eligible systematic reviews were screened, critically appraised, and synthesized narratively. RESULTS:Seven systematic reviews met the inclusion criteria, collectively identifying 35 unique needs-assessment tools. Five tools (SPICT, GSF-PIG, QUICK GUIDE, NECPAL, and P-CaRes) incorporated both general and disease-specific palliative care indicators. At the same time, four (PC-NAT, SPEED, NAT, and IPOS) addressed needs across physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains. Psychometric data were available for six tools across three reviews. The original NAT and SPICT demonstrated good reliability; however, the Dutch version of the NAT showed poor validity. SPEED and one unnamed palliative care tool showed good reliability, whereas the Surprise Question demonstrated unclear validity. Italian-SPICT and Israeli-NECPAL exhibited strong content validity. CONCLUSIONS:Despite limited evidence, the NAT: PD-HF shows particular promise for identifying palliative care needs in patients with heart failure. Tools such as SPICT and NECPAL are widely used and adapted for advanced non-malignant chronic conditions, but further psychometric evaluation is required. Additional studies are needed to clarify the clinical utility of these tools for broader implementation in assessing palliative care needs.
Background/Objectives: Job performance among critical care nurses is a pivotal determinant of patient safety. While individual psychosocial factors such as self-care and self-compassion have been separately linked to professional efficacy, limited research has examined their integrated contribution to job performance in high-stakes healthcare environments. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in five public hospitals in Northern Greece. A convenience sample of 311 critical care nurses and nurse assistants completed validated self-report measures assessing self-care, self-compassion, mindfulness, physical activity, secondary traumatic stress, and job performance. The data were analyzed using non-parametric statistics and multivariate linear regression. Results: Higher levels of self-care (p = 0.003) and self-compassion (p = 0.042), and lower levels of secondary traumatic stress (p = 0.04), were significantly associated with better job performance. The final regression model explained 31% of the variance in performance scores (R2 = 0.31). Mindfulness and physical activity were not significantly associated with job performance. Secondary traumatic stress emerged as the strongest negative predictor. Conclusions: Internal psychosocial resources, particularly self-care and self-compassion, significantly contribute to job performance among critical care nursing personnel. These findings underscore the relevance of embedding staff well-being strategies into organizational patient safety agendas. This multidimensional model provides a novel framework for developing targeted interventions in high-acuity healthcare settings.
Nursing students are more likely to experience psychological distress and face emotional challenges due to early exposure to clinical settings and direct patient care. Resilience and life satisfaction are critical for academic success and future occupational longevity. This study examined the relationship between resilience, physical activity, and life satisfaction, focusing on the mediating role of body appreciation. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 324 nursing students from all accredited nursing departments in Greece. Participants completed a battery of questionnaires, including the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS-2), the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10), the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Body appreciation (β = 0.46) and resilience (β = 0.38) were positively associated with life satisfaction. Body appreciation partially mediated the association between resilience and life satisfaction (indirect effect: β = 0.22). In contrast, higher physical activity was weak but significantly associated with lower life satisfaction both directly (β = −0.14, p = 0.006), and indirectly through lower body appreciation (indirect effect: β = -0.12). Fit index values according to the model were χ² = 1018.582, p < 0.001; CMIN/DF = 3.525; CFI = 0.879 and RMSEA = 0.088 (90
Introduction:Triage training has positive effects on health professionals, the quality of indicators in emergency departments, and the patients. However, data on the effectiveness of triage training on nurses with two different triage scales is limited. Objective:This study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of a triage training program in Emergency Departments (EDs), as well as the effect on the accuracy, knowledge, and skills of nurses working in the National Health System of Greece. Methods:Α quasi-experimental study was carried out, with measurements taken pre-, post-, and three months after implementing the education program. Data were collected between March 2021 and July 2022. Eligible participants for this study included nurses employed in the hospital units of the 4th Health Region of the National Health System. A total of 117 nurses participated in the study. Skills, knowledge, and accuracy were assessed using the Emergency Severity Index and the Australian Triage Scale. Results:After completing the training program, there was a noticeable improvement in the nurses' performance. Their triage skills displayed an overall statistically significant increase (p < 0.001) and, more crucially, in the subscales of rapid patient assessment skills, patient categorization skills, and patient allocation skills. Additionally, statistically significant increases were observed for triage knowledge and for both screening scales that measured triage accuracy, namely the Emergency Severity Index (p < 0.001) and the Australian Triage Scale (p < 0.001). In addition, the number of over-triage and under-triage cases decreased. Conclusions:The education program had a positive impact on the nurses, resulting in a statistically significant increase in their triage skills and knowledge. Moreover, the use of both triage scales resulted in an increase in the triage accuracy. The increase in triage skills, knowledge, and accuracy decreased after three months.
Background/Objectives: Evidence-based information is crucial for policymakers and providers of mental health and psychosocial services (MHPSS) for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC). However, there is a scarcity of national-level studies investigating the MHPSS needs of UASC and how these are addressed in Greece. The research objectives of this study were to explore: (a) the psychosocial and mental health needs of UASC living in Greek long-term accommodation facilities as perceived by MHPSS providers, and (b) the range of services across the country, highlighting gaps and best practices in service delivery. Method: An exploratory, predominantly quantitative design was adopted to map UASC’s psychosocial difficulties, mental health problems, and MHPSS delivery. Purposive sampling was implemented, with 16 of 17 NGOs operating long-term accommodation facilities for UASC and 16 child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS) participating. The sample included 79 participants (34 facility coordinators, 28 field psychologists, and 16 CAMHS directors). A 5-W mapping tool (Who, Where, What, When, and Which) was used for data collection, through an online survey. Data analysis involved quantitative and qualitative methods (content analysis). Results: Of 798 minors, almost 59% showed signs of behavioral or emotional disturbance, with over half referred for psychiatric assessment and 27.7% needing inpatient care. Aggression, disruptive behaviors, self-harm, and suicidal ideation were the most challenging issues. CAMHS directors reported a high rate of crisis-driven responses, with 42.1% of UASC needing emergency psychiatric evaluation. Psychosocial support was hindered by communication difficulties, lack of a shared care philosophy, understaffing, job insecurity, and limited resources. Conclusions: Our findings highlight the mental health needs of UASC, and the challenges faced by facility coordinators, psychologists, and community mental health specialists. Future research should focus on the institutional and organizational factors influencing service delivery to improve support for UASC.
Aim:The present study aimed to explore the impact of transactional leadership and psychological empowerment on Greek nurses' job satisfaction. Methods:Α cross-sectional study was conducted in five Greek public general hospitals between January 1 and March 30, 2022. Participants were 608 nurses. The study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire that included: a) demographic and occupational characteristics, b) the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), c) the Psychological Empowerment Instrument (PEI), and d) the Kuopio University Hospital Job Satisfaction Scale (KUHJSS). Results:Mean scores indicated positive perceptions of transactional leadership (3.55 ± 0.72), high levels of empowerment (3.94 ± 0.49), and job satisfaction (leadership 3.92 ± 1.07, working environment 3.34 ± 0.78, motivating factors 4.11 ± 0.89, and team spirit 4.08 ± 0.37). Younger nurses with secondary education exhibited higher satisfaction. Multiple regression analyses identified nurses' level of education, transactional leadership, and psychological empowerment as main predictors of leadership satisfaction (F=4.343, p=.002, R2 =.28, adjusted R2 =.22). Younger nurses with higher empowerment levels and positive attitudes toward transactional leadership reported greater satisfaction from motivating factors (F=6.925, p=.000, R2 =.44, adjusted R2 =.38). Conclusion:The results of the study showed that nurses' satisfaction from work is mainly derived from leadership, despite the potent effect of psychological empowerment.
Introduction: During the crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic, frontline health personnel was faced with unprecedented working conditions. The need to adapt to rapidly changing healthcare protocols and changes in the workplace compromised the mental resilience of healthcare professionals. In this psychologically damaging situation for workers, the concept of self-care is of special importance. Objective: To investigate the relationship between resilience, self-care, self-compassion and stress of the nursing staff working in a tertiary hospital in Northern Greece and to identify the factors that predict the increasement of resilience. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out, in a convenience sample of 101 nurses working in a tertiary hospital in Northern Greece. Participants were called to fill in a battery of questionnaires that included: a) demographic-professional characteristics questions b) the Brief Resilience Scale, c) the Self-Compassion Scale, d) the Stress Scale – the Perceived Stress Scale, and e) the Self-care determination scale. Results: Participants showed moderate levels of stress and self-compassion and above average -moderate resilience. Regarding self-care, the majority presented higher values in social and professional dimension compared to the physical one. Resilience was negatively correlated with stress (p<0.001) and positively correlated with self-care (p<0.001) and self-compassion (p=0.001). Stress, self-care, and higher educational level (having a master’s degree and/or doctorate) predicted the 28.8% of the variance in resilience. Self-care enhancement interventions are suggested to to further enhance health professionals’ resilience, thus reduce stress of nursing staff working in highly demanding environments, including secondary care service
To investigate the phenomenon of moral harassment (mobbing) as well as the effect of demographic and occupational characteristics of healthcare professionals working in a public provincial general hospital and a private hospital in Athens a cross-sectional survey was designed. The study was conducted from November to December 2021 through the application of the Leymann Inventory of Psychological Terror (LIPT) a widely recognized research tool for the quantitative investigation of ethical harassment in the workplace. 264 fully completed questionnaires were collected out of the 300 that were distributed in both hospitals (response rates: 92% for the public hospital and 83.3% for the private). It was observed that private hospital's employees were morally harassed to a greater extent and for a longer time than the employees of a public hospital. The levels of moral harassment were quite high, indicating the necessity of thorough audit by the management in both hospitals.
Resilience has been defined as one’s ability to maintain a mental health state and overall well-being when undergoing grave stress or facing significant adversity. Numerous resilience-investigating research tools have been developed over the years, with the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), a self-rated tool presenting valuable psychometric properties, remaining one of the most prominent. We aimed to translate and validate the brief CD-RISC-10 in a convenience sample of 584 nurses in Greece’s secondary and tertiary health care system. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis and known-groups validity test and estimated the reliability of the CD-RISC-10. Our confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the scale had a unifactorial structure since all the model fit indices were very good. Moreover, the reliability of the CD-RISC-10 was very good since the acquired Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were 0.924 and 0.925, respectively. Therefore, the Greek version of the CD-RISC-10 confirmed the factor structure of the original scale and had very good validity and reliability.
To investigate job satisfaction and burnout levels among the personnel of a public oncology hospital amid the COVID-19 pandemic, a cross-sectional survey was designed. The study was carried out from December 2021 to January 2022 through the application of an anonymous, structured, self-completed, closed-ended questionnaire, consisting of the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI) in a convenience sample comprised by 117 employees of "Agioi Anargyroi" General Oncology Hospital (response rate: 98%). It was observed that while overall job satisfaction was reduced, several of its determining dimensions like supervision, relationship with co-workers, or work nature were increased. Also, an average overall burnout of 49% was observed across all participants, with women, nurses, and those with a lower educational level experiencing it more intensely. The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak affected negatively healthcare professionals who experienced significant personal and occupational burnout, consequently reducing their job satisfaction.
Background: Vaccination against seasonal influenza has proven effective in preventing nosocomial influenza outbreaks among hospital patients and healthcare workers (HCWs). This study aims to explore the intention, motivation, and empowerment toward vaccination and vaccination advocacy as contributing factors for seasonal influenza vaccination in HCWs. Methods: A cross-sectional study in eight secondary hospitals in Greece was conducted from March to May 2022. An anonymous questionnaire was enclosed in an envelope and distributed to all participants, including questions on vaccine behavior and the MoVac-flu and MoVad scales. Results: A total of 296 participants completed the questionnaire. In multivariate logistic regression models adjusted for potential confounders, increased age, intention score, MoVac-flu scale score, and the presence of chronic diseases were significant predictors of influenza vaccination this year, while increased age, intention score, and presence of chronic diseases were predictors of vaccination every year. Conclusion: Vaccination uptake is simultaneously affected by logical cognitive processes (intention), together with factors related to motivation and empowerment in distinct self-regulatory domains such as value, impact, knowledge, and autonomy. Interventions focused on these identified predictors may be used as a guide to increase HCWs’ vaccination rates.
To assess stroke patient-reported experiences and hospital staff experiences, during hospital stay. METHODS:Stroke patient-reported experiences (n=387) were recorded using the translated and culturally adapted NHS-Stroke Questionnaire into Greek and staff experiences (n=236) were investigated using the Compassion Satisfaction and Burnout subscales of the ProQOL questionnaire. RESULTS:Staff's mean compassion satisfaction score was 39.2 (SD=6.3) and mean burnout score was 24.3 (SD=5.6). Only 38.5% of the staff stated that there is smooth cooperation with healthcare professionals of other specialties/disciplines. Personnel working in an NHS Hospital was more satisfied and less burned-out when compared to personnel working at a University Hospital (p=0.02 and p<0.001, respectively). Mean total patient-reported experiences score was 81.9 (SD=9.5). Bivariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences for total patient-reported experiences among the eight study hospitals (p>0.001). CONCLUSIONS:Health policy planners and decision-makers must take into consideration the results of such self-reported measures to establish innovative techniques to accomplish goals such as staff-specialization, continuous training and applying formal frameworks for efficient cooperation amongst different disciplines.
Objectives: The impact of depression on post-menopausal women is an important public health issue but remains largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence of post-menopausal depression in Greece and outline the profile of the women it affects. Study design: A sample of post-menopausal women completed an anonymous, self-administered, web-based survey which included the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) and questions regarding socio-demographic data. Main outcome measures: The dependent variable of interest was a BDI-II score > 20 (the cut-off for moderate depression according to the BDI). Results: Overall, 502 post-menopausal women participated in the study. The median BDI-II score was 13 (range 0-50); 136 (27.1%) of the women scored > 20 and were considered screen-positive for depression. According to the multivariate logistic regression model, age< 55 years (OR: 1.621; 95% CI: 1.036-2.535), not working (OR: 1.580; 95% CI: 1.013-2.465), smoking (OR: 1.656; 95% CI: 1.081-2.536) and history of depression (OR: 1.650; 95% CI: 1.045-2.604) were independently associated with post-menopausal depression. Subgroup analyses revealed that current smokers (OR: 2.514; 95% CI: 1.485-4.256) had higher odds of moderate depression, while obesity (OR: 2.455; 95% CI: 1.206-4.996), absence of healthcare insurance (OR: 4.413; 95% CI: 1.970-9.887) and a history of depression (OR: 2.253; 95% CI: 1.212-4.190) were identified as independent risk factors for severe post-menopausal depression. Conclusions: More than one out of four post-menopausal women were screen-positive for symptoms indicative of depression, while a personal history of depression, age < 55 years, smoking and current working status were independent predictors of its emergence.
Background and Purpose:To translate and validate the influenza vaccination acceptance (MoVac-flu) and vaccination advocacy (MoV-ad) scales, in a sample of Greek health professionals (HPs).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted in eight representative secondary hospitals in Greece. A total of 296 HPs were administered the scales.Results:The internal consistency of the Gr-MoVac-flu and the Gr-MoV-ad scale was high, and Cronbach’s alpha was .92 for each scale. The Gr-MoVac-flu and the Gr-MoV-ad scales are not unidimensional and demonstrated two-factor structures respectively.Conclusions:The MoVac-flu and the MoV-ad scale are highly convergent validity tools that could provide rich understanding of HPs’ decision to uptake and to advocate for vaccination.
Menopausal transition and post-menopause constitute windows of increased vulnerability to depression. Recently, the Meno-D was introduced, a novel 12-item, with five distinct subscales. The aim of our study was to translate and validate the electronic version of the Meno-D among Greek post-menopausal women. Translation and back-translation were performed by an expert group, while face validity was assessed by five experts. Along with the Beck Depression Inventory-II, the Meno-D scale was distributed online to 502 post-menopausal women. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed to investigate construct validity and both convergent and discriminant validity were evaluated. The data analysis was performed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences and AMOS. The 5-factor model of Meno-D achieved adequate levels of goodness-of-fit indices, scoring lower values in discriminant validity examined with heterotrait-monotrait ratio and composite reliability. The significant correlation with the Beck Depression Inventory-ΙΙ revealed for all subscales was indicative of good convergent validity. An exploratory factor analysis was additionally performed, suggesting a 12-item tool comprising two subscales: (i) psychological and (ii) biological and achieving good levels of fit. Our data confirmed that the electronic version of Meno-D is a valid tool that can be used for screening and evaluation of depression in Greek post-menopausal women.
