Ukulinganiswa koxinzelelo lukaBack kuphakanyiswa ngu-American psychotherapist uAron Temkin Beck, ngo-1961. Yayilungiswa ngokubaluleka kwezonyango zezigulane ezinezimpawu zokudandatheka kunye nokufunda kwezikhalazo ezenziwa rhoqo zizigulane.
Emva kokuphonononga ngokucokisekileyo kwincwadi, eneempawu kunye nenkcazo yokudandatheka, i-American psychotherapist yavelisa isilinganisi sokuvavanya ukuxinezeleka kukaBekk, yanikeza i-questionnaire eneenkalo ezingama-21 zezikhalazo kunye neempawu zokudandatheka. Icandelo ngalinye liqulethe iingxelo ezi-4-5, ezihambelanayo neempawu ezahlukahlukeneyo zokudakumba.
Ekuqaleni, lemibuzo ingasetyenziselwa kuphela ingcali eqeqeshekileyo (isazi sengqondo, i-sociologist okanye i-psychotherapist). Kwakudingeka afunde ngokuvakalayo izinto ezivela kwicandelo ngalinye, emva koko isigulane sanyula isitatimende, esichaphazelekayo, esichaphazelekayo ngokumalunga nesimo samanje sesigulane. Ngokwezimpendulo ezinikezelwa isigulane ekupheleni kweseshoni, ingcali yenze iqondo lokudakumba kwi-Beck esikalini, emva koko ikopi yeli phephancwadi linikezelwa isigulane, ukuze ilandele ukuphuculwa okanye ukutshabalalisa imeko yakhe.
Kwixesha elide, inkqubo yokuvavanya yenziwa lula. Okwangoku, kulula kakhulu ukucacisa izinga lokudakumba kwi-Bek scale. Le mibuzo ikhutshwe isigulane, kwaye yena ngokwakhe uzalisa zonke izinto. Emva koko, unokubona iziphumo zolu vavanyo ngokwakhe, udwebe izigqibo ezifanelekileyo aze afune uncedo lweengcali.
Ukubalwa kwezibonisi zesilinganisi se-Bek hopelessness can be as follows: nganye inqaku lesilinganisi linokulinganisela ukusuka ku-0 ukuya ku-3, kuxhomekeke kubukhulu beempawu. Isibalo sawo onke amaphupha sisuka ku-0 ukuya ku-62, kuya kuxhomekeka kwinqanaba lexesha elixinezelekileyo yesigulane. Iziphumo zovavanyo lwe-Beck ukulinganisa zichazwe ngale ndlela:
- 0-9 - ukungabikho kwengcinezelo;
- 10-15 - ukucindezeleka okunyamekileyo;
- 16-19 - ukuxinezeleka okulinganisiweyo;
- 20-29 - ukuxinezeleka okukhulu;
- 30-63 - ukudandatheka okukhulu;
Inqanaba lokudakumba kwizinga likaBekk linamalungu amabini:
- i-eccnitive-affective subscale (CA);
- ukubonakaliswa kwe-somatic depression of depress (SP).
I-Beck Depression Assessment Scale isetyenziswa ngokufanelekileyo namhlanje. Olu buchule luye lwafumana ukufumanisa okuntle. Akuvumelekanga kuphela ukuvavanya izinga lokudakumba, kodwa nokukhetha ukonyango oluchanekileyo.
