Based on the research version of the Carers' Needs Assessment for Schizophrenia (CNA-S) a shortened clinical version was developed for routine assessment of interventions needed by the caregivers of schizophrenia patients in everyday clinical work.
The development of this questionnaire (including a manual explaining its use) was based on results from earlier studies and suggestions from Austrian researchers involved in previous studies using the research version. Based on discussions with researchers the questionnaire and the manual were improved step by step. A clinical test version was investigated for feasibility and practicability in two waves of 15 caregivers of schizophrenia patients each.
More than 90% of caregivers perceived the clinical version of the CNA-S as a useful instrument to assess all relevant aspects of caregivers' needs and problems. They reported feeling well during the interview for the CNA-S. Clinicians using the clinical version of the CNA-S reported similar views.
These results suggest that the clinical version of the CNA-S is both feasible and practicable in everyday clinical work.
基于精神分裂症患者照顾者需求评估(CNA - S)的研究版本,开发了一个简短的临床版本,用于日常临床工作中对精神分裂症患者照顾者所需干预措施的常规评估。
本问卷(包括一份解释其用法的手册)的开发基于早期研究结果以及参与使用研究版本的奥地利研究人员的建议。在与研究人员讨论的基础上,问卷和手册逐步得到改进。对一个临床测试版本在两批各15名精神分裂症患者照顾者中进行了可行性和实用性调查。
超过90%的照顾者认为CNA - S临床版本是评估照顾者需求和问题所有相关方面的有用工具。他们表示在CNA - S访谈过程中感觉良好。使用CNA - S临床版本的临床医生也报告了类似观点。
这些结果表明,CNA - S临床版本在日常临床工作中既可行又实用。
