This paper introduces a new self-report inventory, the NIMH Panic Questionnaire (NIMH PQ), for obtaining and quantifying comprehensive information about the clinical characteristics of panic disorder in patients with previously diagnosed or suspected illness. Fifty-two patients who met DSM-III-R criteria for panic disorder completed the NIMH PQ; their responses were compared with data derived from 16 similar or identical questions on the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia modified for anxiety disorders. There were no significant differences between the two instruments on 15 of the 16 (93.7%) items tested. The one exception revealed a greater proportion of patients versus physicians endorsing "spontaneous" panic, and a nonsignificant trend for physicians over patients endorsing anticipatory anxiety with greater frequency. The NIMH PQ offers a potentially useful clinical and research tool in the assessment of patients with known or suspected panic disorder.
本文介绍了一种新的自陈式问卷——美国国立精神卫生研究所惊恐问卷（NIMH PQ），用于获取和量化有关先前已确诊或疑似患有惊恐障碍患者临床特征的全面信息。52名符合DSM-III-R惊恐障碍标准的患者完成了NIMH PQ；将他们的回答与从针对焦虑症修改后的情感障碍和精神分裂症量表中16个相似或相同问题得出的数据进行了比较。在测试的16项（93.7%）中有15项，两种工具之间没有显著差异。唯一的例外是，与医生相比，认可“自发”惊恐的患者比例更高，并且医生比患者更频繁认可预期性焦虑，但这一趋势不显著。NIMH PQ在评估已知或疑似惊恐障碍患者方面提供了一种潜在有用的临床和研究工具。
