A positive correlation between the incidences of dissociative and psychotic experiences has been consistently reported in a variety of adult populations. The present study was a preliminary investigation of the association between dissociative and psychotic experiences in adolescents requiring inpatient mental health care. No previous research has investigated this relationship in an adolescent cohort. Adolescents currently under inpatient care (n = 18) completed questionnaires assessing their experience of dissociative and psychotic phenomena. In line with previous research, a significant positive correlation was found between dissociative and psychotic experiences that remained highly significant once similarities between measures were taken into account. Recognizing the relationship between psychotic and dissociative experiences may be important in developing appropriate and effective treatment for young people experiencing mental health difficulties. Although the study is cross-sectional in nature and has a small sample, the results offer further evidence of the robust relationship between dissociative and psychotic experiences.
在各种成年人群体中，分离和精神病体验的发生率之间一直存在正相关关系。本研究初步调查了需要住院精神保健的青少年中分离和精神病体验之间的关联。以前没有研究在青少年队列中调查过这种关系。目前正在住院治疗的青少年（n=18）完成了评估他们分离和精神病现象体验的问卷。与之前的研究一致，分离和精神病体验之间存在显著的正相关，即使考虑到测量方法之间的相似性，这种相关性仍然非常显著。认识到精神病和分离体验之间的关系可能对为有心理健康问题的年轻人制定适当和有效的治疗方法很重要。尽管该研究本质上是横断面的，且样本较小，但结果提供了进一步的证据，表明分离和精神病体验之间存在稳健的关系。
