“…First, results indicated that rates of psychopathology remained stable over the follow-up period. This finding is consistent with research on the short-term temporal stability of the BSI subscales among healthy adults, which found no changes in subscale scores over time (Houghton et al, 2013). However, the lack of change in psychological symptoms is somewhat surprising, given that the participants were engaged in substance use treatment over the course of the assessment period, and drug treatment programs often alleviate secondary psychological distress (see e.g., Moos, Moos, & Andrassy, 1999).…”

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a barrier to treatment, yet the relationship between BPD features and other psychopathology symptoms in a residential addictions treatment samples is understudied. Using a sample of adults enrolled in a residential drug treatment facility measured at baseline and 2–3 month follow-up, we examined the prospective relationship between BPD features and five indices of psychopathology: depression, anxiety, interpersonal sensitivity, hostility, and psychoticism, as well as psychopathology global severity. There was no effect of time on any of the forms of psychopathology, but females reported higher levels of BPD features, anxiety symptoms, and interpersonal sensitivity than males. A series of latent change score models indicated that BPD features predicted increases in all psychopathology scales at follow-up, while the reverse was not true. These results suggest that targeting BPD features in residential drug treatment facilities may reduce the emergence of new psychopathology in the short-term.

“…Num estudo com estudantes alemães, no qual se aplicou o mesmo intervalo temporal, os valores destas correlações oscilaram entre .52 e .77 (Spitzer et al, 2011). Noutra amostra de estudantes, de nacionalidade irlandesa, as correlações oscilaram entre .44 e .59, tendo decorrido um mês entre as duas avaliações (Houghton et al, 2012(Houghton et al, , 2013. O maior intervalo temporal que identificámos entre as avaliações foi o do estudo de Meachen et al (2008), no qual doentes com traumatismo cranioencefálico responderam ao questionário novamente, entre 6 meses a 2 anos após a primeira avaliação, com as correlações a variar entre .57 e .67.…”

O Brief Symptom Inventory 18 (BSI 18), originalmente desenvolvido por Derogatis em 2001, constitui um instrumento de rastreio do distress psicológico aplicável a populações comunitárias e clínicas. Os respondentes devem avaliar a intensidade (de 0 -Nada a 4 -Extremamente) com que, nos últimos sete dias, experienciaram dezoito manifestações de psicossintomatologia. Este trabalho pretendeu avaliar o comportamento psicométrico da versão portuguesa do BSI 18, procedendo ao estudo da sua estrutura fatorial, validade e fidelidade. A amostra incluiu dois grupos: comunitário, composto por 184 adultos da população geral; e clínico, composto por 141 adultos com diagnósticos psiquiátricos atualmente a receber acompanhamento psicológico e/ou psiquiátrico. Os participantes responderam a quatro questionários: BSI 18, Inventário Depressivo de Beck, Escala de Autoavaliação de Ansiedade de Zung e Brief COPE. Setenta e seis participantes voltaram a responder ao BSI 18 cerca de quatro semanas após a primeira avaliação. Através de análises fatoriais confirmatórias, foram testados diversos modelos apresentados na literatura. Foi adotado um modelo de primeira ordem de três dimensões: Somatização (manifestações dos sistemas regulados automaticamente, como o gastroin testinal e o cardiovascular), Depressão (sintomas nucleares das perturbações depressivas, como humor disfórico, anedonia, desesperança e ideação suicida) e Ansiedade (sintomas indicativos de estados de pânico, como nervosismo, tensão, agitação motora e apreensão). O BSI 18 apresentou bons níveis de validade (construto, convergente, discriminante e de critério com base na diferenciação de grupos) e de fidelidade (consistência interna e consistência temporal). Assim, constitui um instrumento passível de ser utilizado em contexto clínico e de investigação. Palavras-chave: Brief Symptom Inventory 18, Características psicométricas, Distress psicológico.Em 2010 e a nível mundial, a perturbação depressiva major e as perturbações ansiosas estiveram entre as maiores causadoras de anos vividos com incapacidade: ocuparam, respetivamente, a segunda e a sétima posições entre todas as doenças, e a primeira e a segunda posições entre as doenças psiquiátricas (Vos et al., 2012). De acordo com estes autores, os anos vividos com incapacidade são um índice calculado com base na prevalência e no grau de perda de saúde associados às sequelas de uma dada doença, constituindo um dos parâmetros utilizados para estimar a carga de uma doença. Face ao acentuado impacto negativo destas perturbações psiquiátricas, frequentemente subdiagnosticadas (Derogatis, 2001;Sorsdahl et al., 2013;Vermani, Marcus, & Katzman, 2011), é fundamental identificar as pessoas que apresentam psicossintomatologia clinicamente significativa. Esta medida potencia a intervenção precoce, a qual se traduz na diminuição de custos e na melhoria da qualidade dos cuidados de saúde (Derogatis, 2001). 213A correspondência relativa a este artigo deverá ser enviada para: Bárbara Nazaré,

“…To this end, focus was on selected scale scores on the BSI: hostility, depression, anxiety, paranoia and psychoticism. Although there may have been some fluctuation in state over the 6 months of interest, scores have been shown to be generally stable at least over 4 weeks among young people, albeit university students (Houghton et al, 2013). Not all types of psychological state predicted all outcomes.…”

The relationship between psychological symptom ratings and crime in juvenile justice system involved young people

Rationale Prior research has not adequately examined the relationship between psychological state and offending. Limitations include over‐reliance on criminal convictions as the dependent variable, failure to examine a comprehensive set of psychological states, the limited nature of measures and the frequent use of cross‐sectional data that cannot ensure temporal ordering. Aims To explore the relationship between five self‐reported psychological states—anxiety, depression, hostility, paranoia and psychoticism—and three types of offending—violent, non‐violent and marijuana use—reported 6 months later in a sample of justice system involved young people. Methods Data were acquired from the publicly available Pathways to Desistance dataset, a longitudinal study of 1262 young people (86% male) involved in the criminal justice system. Measures of psychological state were self‐reported using the Brief Symptom Inventory at project entry and self‐report offending measures 6 months later. Results No psychological states were significantly associated with reports of marijuana use and depression was not related to offending. Anger and paranoia each predicted an increased variety of violent and non‐violent offending, while anxiety and psychoticism each increased the variety of violent but not non‐violent offending. Clinically significant states on one or more sub‐scales were related to variety of both violent and non‐violent offending. Implications These results suggest that early screening of psychological state may help identify young people at risk for offending. Further research might be directed at clarifying the extent of actual disorder and the nature of interventions that would best help not only those with a diagnosable disorder, but also those with aspects of their psychological state which trouble them, but which may not actually amount to disorder.
