Scales to measure the severity of different dimensions of auditory hallucinations and delusions are few. Biochemical and psychological treatments target dimensions of symptoms and valid and reliable measures are necessary to measure these.
The inter-rater reliability and validity of the Psychotic Symptom Rating Scales (PSYRATS: auditory hallucination subscale and delusions subscale), which measure several dimensions of auditory hallucinations and delusions were examined in this study.
The two scales were found to have excellent inter-rater reliability. Their validity as compared with the KGV scale (Krawiecka et al. 1977) was explored.
It is concluded that the PSYRATS are useful assessment instruments and can complement existing measures.
用于测量幻听和妄想不同维度严重程度的量表很少。生化和心理治疗针对症状维度,因此需要有效且可靠的测量方法来进行评估。
本研究检验了用于测量幻听和妄想多个维度的精神病症状评定量表(PSYRATS:幻听分量表和妄想分量表)的评分者间信度和效度。
发现这两个量表具有出色的评分者间信度。并探讨了它们与KGV量表(Krawiecka等人,1977年)相比的效度。
得出结论,PSYRATS是有用的评估工具,可以补充现有测量方法。
