Almost all psychiatric disorders found in general population can also be found in mental retardation (MR). Identification of the psychiatric problems in MR is a difficult process, primarily due to inherent communication and cognitive deficits wherein comes the role of psychological scales. There are few scales of which Reiss screen for maladaptive behaviors (RSMB) is popularly used in the West. Nevertheless, the utility of RSMB is less known in India.
In this context, the present study was designed to study the diagnostic utility of RSM.
Fifty six persons with ICD-10 diagnosis of MR and psychiatric diagnoses or behavioral disorders were selected through purposive sampling. RSMB was used to screen psychiatric problems and the findings were contrasted with that of the ICD-10 diagnoses.
RSMB could differentiate well between those with and without psychiatric diagnoses. The diagnostic efficiency statistics were found to be satisfactory. Therefore, RSMB can be used in Indian settings without any cultural limitations.
普通人群中发现的几乎所有精神障碍在智力障碍(MR)患者中也都能找到。识别智力障碍患者的精神问题是一个困难的过程,主要是由于其固有的沟通和认知缺陷,而心理量表在其中发挥了作用。在西方,很少有量表像赖斯适应不良行为筛查量表(RSMB)那样被广泛使用。然而,RSMB在印度的效用鲜为人知。
在此背景下,本研究旨在探讨RSM的诊断效用。
通过目的抽样选取56例符合ICD - 10诊断标准的智力障碍且伴有精神诊断或行为障碍的患者。使用RSMB筛查精神问题,并将结果与ICD - 10诊断结果进行对比。
RSMB能够很好地区分有精神诊断和无精神诊断的患者。诊断效率统计结果令人满意。因此,RSMB可在印度环境中使用,不存在任何文化限制。
