“…Severity of psychopathology was measured with the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale-Expanded (‘BPRS-E’) [26, 27], which consists of 24 symptoms assessed on a scale from 1 to 7. Items are grouped in four subscales - positive symptoms, negative symptoms, depression and disorganisation [27] - and scored on the basis of observations during the interview and patient self-reports.…”

BackgroundChanges in the residential and care settings of patients with severe mental illness (SMI) are a concern because of the large variety of possible negative consequences. This study describes patterns of changes in the residential and care settings of SMI patients and explores associations between these changes, sociodemographics, and clinical characteristics.MethodsFrom January 2006 to January 2012, all data relating to changes in residential and/or care setting by SMI patients (N = 262) were collected from electronic case files. Data covering psychopathology, substance use, and medication adherence were assessed in 2006.ResultsThere were more changes in the residential than in the care setting. In 6 years, only 22% of our sample did not move, 23% changed residence once, 19% twice, 10% three times, and 26% four or more times. Substance use predicted changes of care and/or residential setting and rehospitalisation. The severity of negative symptoms predicted rehospitalisation and duration of hospitalisation. Disorganisation symptoms predicted the duration of hospitalisation.ConclusionsA majority of patients with SMI changed residential and/or care settings several times in 6 years. Patients with substance use or severe negative and disorganisation symptoms may need more intensive and customised treatment. Further research is needed to investigate prevention programmes for highly-frequent movers.

“…Following the factor structure supported by Kopelowicz and colleagues (18), subscale scores (Positive Symptoms, Negative Symptoms, Agitation/Mania, Depression/Anxiety) were utilized to assess current level of psychopathology. The BPRS is used extensively in psychiatric research and has well-established psychometric properties (16, 19, 20). The Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) ((21) is a 9-item semi-structured interview that assesses depressive symptoms in schizophrenia.…”

The Clinical Assessment Interview for Negative Symptoms (CAINS) is an empirically developed interview measure of negative symptoms. Building on prior work, this study examined the reliability and validity of a self-report measure based on the CAINS - the Motivation and Pleasure Scale - Self Report (MAP-SR) - that assesses the motivation and pleasure domain of negative symptoms. Thirty-seven participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder completed the 18-item MAP-SR, the CAINS, and other measures of functional outcome. Item analyses revealed three items that performed poorly. The revised 15-item MAP-SR demonstrated good internal consistency and convergent validity with the clinician-rated Motivation and Pleasure scale of the CAINS, as well as good discriminant validity, with little association with psychotic symptoms or depression/anxiety. MAP-SR scores were related to social anhedonia, social closeness, and clinician-rated social functioning. The MAP-SR is a promising self-report measure of severity of negative symptoms.

“…Assuming that Tr-Int had less communication problems with Tr-Pat, demograpic variables (including a scale for German proficiency), PANSS (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale [26]), HAM-D (Hamilton Depression Scale [27]) and GAFS (Global Assessment of Function- ing Scale, DSM-IV Axis V [28]) were completed by Tr-Int for all patients. Considering efforts to develop dimensions of the PANSS [29][30][31], the evaluation of the PANSS also included the psychopathological symdromes of schizophrenia [32]. The two research diagnoses as well as the clinical diagnosis, all three according to ICD-10, were then compared for agreement.…”

Schizophrenic Disorders among Turkish Migrants in Germany

Several studies have implied cultural differences in the psychopathology of schizophrenia between migrants and natives. In a diagnostically strictly controlled study, including comparison of diagnosis with a Turkish-speaking psychiatrist, 74 patients of Turkish and 48 of German origin, all with a diagnosis of schizophrenic disorder, were compared using PANSS and HAM-D. The Turkish sample showed higher depression and hostile excitement, even in the subsample of those with paranoid schizophrenia, and no differences in positive, negative or cognitive symptoms. The similarities especially concerning core symptoms reflect evidence from cross-cultural studies on schizophrenia. In conclusion this study shows main differences in psychopathology between psychotic migrants and natives, as discussed in the literature, may be mainly due to diagnostic differences.
