East Mediterr Health J. 2013 Nov;19(11):905-8.
Mental health services are far from satisfactory in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. The Global Mental Health Assessment Tool-Primary Care version (GMHAT/PC) is a semi-structured, computerized clinical assessment tool that was developed to assist health workers in making quick, convenient and comprehensive standardized mental health assessments. A study was carried out in the United Arab Emirates to evaluate the validity and feasibility of the Arabic version of the GMHAT/PC. Mental health nurses administered the GMHAT/PC Arabic version to 50 patients in mental health and rehabilitation settings and their GMHAT/PC diagnosis was compared with the psychiatrist's independent ICD-10 based clinical diagnosis on the same patients. The nurses found GMHAT/PC easy to administer in an average of 16 minutes. The GMHAT/PC-based diagnosis had a good agreement with the psychiatrist's diagnosis (kappa = 0.91) and a high sensitivity (97%) and specificity (94%).
在东地中海地区，心理健康服务远不能令人满意。全球心理健康评估工具-初级保健版（GMHAT/PC）是一种半结构化、计算机化的临床评估工具，旨在帮助卫生工作者快速、方便和全面地进行标准化的心理健康评估。在阿拉伯联合酋长国进行了一项研究，以评估 GMHAT/PC 阿拉伯语版本的有效性和可行性。心理健康护士在心理健康和康复环境中对 50 名患者进行 GMHAT/PC 阿拉伯语版本的评估，并将他们的 GMHAT/PC 诊断与精神病医生根据同一患者的 ICD-10 进行的独立临床诊断进行比较。护士们发现 GMHAT/PC 平均在 16 分钟内易于管理。基于 GMHAT/PC 的诊断与精神病医生的诊断具有良好的一致性（kappa = 0.91），并且具有较高的灵敏度（97%）和特异性（94%）。
