“…The SLOF has been shown to have good reliability and validity, as well as stable factor structure, and has been translated for use in other languages (Mucci et al, 2014; Sumiyoshi et al, 2016). The scale has been endorsed by the VALERO (Validation of Everyday Real-World Outcomes) initiative (Harvey et al, 2011; Leifker et al, 2011; Searle et al, 2022) as suitable for studies of functional independence in cognition-related research. The SLOF is a measure of psychosocial functioning commonly used among individuals living with mental illnesses (Bowie et al, 2006).…”

For individuals living with serious mental illnesses (SMIs), inadequate meal preparation skills can hinder the ability to live independently; yet rating scales tailored for this population are lacking. We describe development, item analysis, and initial reliability and validity of the Staff-Administered Meal Independence Rating Scale (SAMIRS). After item development involving expert consultation, two rounds of pilot testing (n = 188, n = 293) were conducted in inpatient and residential settings (transitional living residences [TLRs] and community residences [CRs]). For initial testing of convergent validity, Pearson correlations with Specific Levels of Functioning (SLOF) scale items were computed. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a single factor; Cronbach's alpha was high (0.98). The mean SAMIRS score varied by setting: CR residents scored higher than those in TLRs or inpatient units. Scores were highly correlated with SLOF items measuring community living skills. Although further study is warranted, the SAMIRS could be a useful tool in rating functional needs pertaining to meal independence among individuals with SMI.

Purpose the aim of this study is to determine the incidence, burden of disease, and spatial distribution of Schizophrenia in Ecuador in a ten-year period. Methods publicly available hospital discharge records from 2011 to 2021 were analyzed to determine incidence, DALYs, and spatial distribution of schizophrenia cases for that period. Results From 2010 to 2021, a total of 10542 schizophrenia cases were reported. There was a significant negative association between time and incidence rates, suggesting an important decrease in schizophrenia cases throughout the study time. The estimated burden of disease of schizophrenia in Ecuador varied from 153.054 to 289.785 per 100,000 population on average depending on the scenario used for estimation. Highest incidence clusters were in Guayas and Pichincha, location of the two most populous cities in the country. Conclusion This is the first study to characterize in detail the incidence and burden of schizophrenia in Ecuador. The results obtained could contribute to the refinement and formulation of health policies, the allocation of government resources and the improvement of health surveillance systems to improve the quality and scope of care provided to individuals affected by this disorder.
