The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) is a validated clinical instrument for the evaluation of psychopathology in dementia.
To validate a brief questionnaire form of the NPI (NPI-Q) in Spanish from NPI-Q original version, intended for use in routine clinical practice.
We have developed a crossed validated form between NPI and NPI-Q in 120 Alzheimer's disease patients.
Test-retest reliability of the NPI-Q, using Pearson correlation index was r = 0.89 for total symptom scale and r = 0.90 for distress scale. The prevalence of analogous symptom ratings differed by less than 6.7%. Convergent validity between NPI-Q and NPI, using Pearson correlation index was r = 0.879 for total symptom and r = 0.92 for distress scale.
The NPI-Q Spanish version offers the possibility to use a reliable and brief instrument that can be used as a screening in the evaluation of neuropsychiatric symptoms in dementia and associated caregiver distress. It may be suitable for use in general clinical practice and it could be used as a brief neuropsychiatric interview.
神经精神科问卷(NPI)是一种经过验证的用于评估痴呆患者精神病理学的临床工具。
从NPI-Q原始版本验证一份西班牙语简短问卷形式的NPI(NPI-Q),旨在用于常规临床实践。
我们在120例阿尔茨海默病患者中开发了一种NPI与NPI-Q之间的交叉验证形式。
使用Pearson相关指数,NPI-Q的重测信度在总症状量表方面r = 0.89,在痛苦量表方面r = 0.90。类似症状评分的患病率差异小于6.7%。使用Pearson相关指数,NPI-Q与NPI之间的收敛效度在总症状方面r = 0.879,在痛苦量表方面r = 0.92。
NPI-Q西班牙语版本提供了使用一种可靠且简短工具的可能性,该工具可用于痴呆神经精神症状评估及相关照料者痛苦的筛查。它可能适用于一般临床实践,并且可作为简短的神经精神科访谈。
