Formal cognitive testing is an integral part of the mental state examination, and we aimed to test whether clinicians were able to predict the score on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) by watching a conversation between a person and the interviewer about their memory. A total of 41 professionals rated 30 patients-generally the scores on the MMSE were underestimated and experienced professionals did worse than less experienced practitioners. The results underscore the need for formal cognitive assessment and the requirements for training in the administration of cognitive tests.
正式的认知测试是精神状态检查的一个组成部分,我们旨在通过观察一个人与采访者关于他们的记忆的对话,测试临床医生是否能够预测迷你精神状态检查(MMSE)的得分。共有 41 名专业人员对 30 名患者进行了评分——通常情况下,MMSE 的得分被低估了,经验丰富的专业人员比经验较少的从业者表现更差。结果强调了正式认知评估的必要性和认知测试管理方面的培训要求。
