The purpose of the present study was to identify the factor structure of manic symptoms as assessed by the Scale for Manic States (SMS).
The pattern of symptoms in a group of 225 adults with an ICD-10-DCR diagnosis of manic episode was studied. A factor analysis was conducted of the broad range of psychiatric symptoms covered by SMS. A principal component analysis followed by oblimin rotation was performed.
Six eigenvalues were greater than unity and parallel analysis indicated four factors. After observing the scree plot a five-factor solution seemed appropriate. Nevertheless, a six-factor solution was chosen that described the data appropriately and was clinically relevant. The six factors (psychosis, irritability aggression, dysphoria, accelerated thought stream, hedonia, and hyperactivity) captured 59.29% of the total variance.
A six-factor solution explains the clinical dimensions of mania in the present sample and dysphoria appeared as a separate factor.
本研究旨在确定《躁狂状态量表》(SMS)评估的躁狂症状的因子结构。
对 225 名符合 ICD-10-DCR 诊断标准的躁狂发作成年患者的症状模式进行研究。对 SMS 涵盖的广泛精神症状进行因子分析。采用主成分分析,然后进行 Oblimin 旋转。
有六个特征值大于 1,平行分析表明存在四个因子。观察完陡坡图后,似乎需要五因子解决方案。然而,选择了六因子解决方案,该方案适当地描述了数据,并且具有临床相关性。这六个因子(精神病、易怒攻击性、抑郁、思维加速、快乐和多动)解释了总方差的 59.29%。
六因子解决方案解释了本研究样本中躁狂的临床维度,并且抑郁表现为一个独立的因子。
