“…Sleep Disturbance, and the factor De pression was given greater weight. The impos sibility to reproduce the factor 'anxiety' is a confirmation of the results of other studies [Hoffmann and Overall, 1978;Clark and Friedman, 1983;Holcomb et al, 1983], The proposed new factorial structure allowed a better discrimination between the three groups of patients with dysthymia. anxiety disorders and anorexia nervosa.…”

“…Earlier studies sug gested a revision of the factors paranoid idea tion. psychoticism, anxiety [Angst et al, 1984;Hoffmann and Overall, 1978;Clark and Friedman, 1983;Holcomb et al, 1983], A PCA allocated the items to factors which were considerably less interdependent than in the original version. Despite the fact that our sample was clinical and the sample of Angst et al [1984] was nonclinical, we also found changes in the factor Paranoid Ideation and Psychoticism.…”

“…Additionally, a factor 'sleep distur bances' seems useful [Evanson et al. 1980: Holcomb et al, 1983, Finally, until now, the factors 'paranoid ideation' and 'psychoticism' have not proved any specific aspects of psy chosis [Dinning and Evans, 1977],…”

“…A factor analysis by Angst et al [ 1984] on the SCL results of 1,162 nonselected young men (nonclinical sample) led to ob vious difficulties in reproducing the factors paranoid ideation, psychoticism and in par ticular anxiety. Also in the studies of Hoff mann and Overall [1978], Clark and Fried man [ 1983] or Holcomb et al [ 1983], the fac tor 'anxiety' was included in the factor 'phobic anxiety'.…”

The factorial and discriminative validity of the Hopkins Symptom Check List SCL-90-R were examined in the light of criticism that clinical self-rating scales primarily express a general distress factor. In a population of 899 psychosomatic patients, high intercorrelations were found between the individual dimensions of the SCL-90-R. A subsequent Principal Components Analysis obtained 9 factors which were markedly less interdependent than those in the original version. The ability of the questionnaire to distinguish between patients with dysthymia, anxiety disorders and anorexia nervosa was examined. The average hit rate in the discriminant analysis was 67% using the original version and 74% with the proposed new factorial structure of the SCL-90-R, confirming the discriminative validity of the inventory. The present results as well as earlier studies suggest that the factor ‘anxiety’ should be included in the factor ‘phobic anxiety’, the factors ‘paranoid ideation’ and ‘psychoticism’ should be reformulated, and a new factor ‘sleep disturbances’ should be added to the original version of the SCL-90-R.

“…In a report published after the present study was in progress, Holcomb et al (1983) factor analyzed SCL-90 responses from a sample of state hospital inpatients. Neither an Interpersonal Sensitivity factor nor a Functional Impairment factor was identified, although their nine-factor solution did include the Depression, Somatization, Phobic Anxiety, and Hostility factors (Holcomb et al, 1983).…”

Factor structure of a brief symptom checklist for acute psychiatric inpatients

et al. 1989

A 36‐item symptom checklist (the HSCL‐36) was assembled and assessed based on previous factor‐analytic research with the Hopkins Symptom Checklist‐90 (HSCL‐90), which had focused on outpatients. Acute psychiatric inpatients (N = 243) completed the HSCL‐36 after admission to a university hospital. The responses were factor analyzed using a principal axis extraction. Varimax rotation yielded six interpretable factors, for which factorbased subscales were derived. Five of the six subscales were found to be reliable using coefficient alpha. Results are compared with studies that used self‐report symptom checklists with outpatients. Future directions for research are discussed.

Twenty‐six consecutive inpatient psychiatric admissions with severe stress and anxiety disorders were assigned to three treatment groups: (1) stress inoculation therapy; (2) a combination of stress inoculation and medication therapy; and (3) medication therapy. The dependent measures indicate that stress inoculation therapy was superior to chemotherapy from pre‐ to posttesting and from baseline to posttesting in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and overall subjective distress. In a 3‐year follow‐up, subjects in the stress inoculation therapy group tended to require fewer readmissions for psychiatric problems than the other treatment groups. It is proposed that stress inoculation therapy is effective in reducing symptoms of severe anxiety and stress reactions of acute psychiatric inpatients and that medication sometimes may have an inhibitive effect upon possible gains through psychotherapy.
