Pathological dissociation (PD) is an easily overlooked phenomenon in the mental health field. Standardized assessment is important for identifying dissociative symptoms and disorders. However, the use of PD measures in Chinese cultures needs investigation. This pilot study investigated the psychometric properties of three PD measures among Hong Kong Chinese.
The psychometric properties of the Dissociative Experiences Scale-Taxon, the 5-item Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire, and the Self-Report Version of the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (SR-DDIS) were evaluated using online methods in Hong Kong.
The PD measures exhibited adequate to excellent internal consistency. The PD measures were negatively related to family support and can discriminate between participants with and without self-reported childhood abuse. There was excellent agreement between the online SR-DDIS results and the clinical diagnoses for presence of any dissociative disorder (DD) versus no DD. The DDs group scored significantly higher on PD measures than the depression group and the college student group.
The initial findings suggest that PD can be assessed online in Hong Kong. Further investigation is necessary.
病理性分离(PD)是心理健康领域中一种容易被忽视的现象。标准化评估对于识别分离症状和障碍很重要。然而,PD测量方法在中华文化中的应用需要进行研究。这项初步研究调查了三种PD测量方法在香港华人中的心理测量特性。
使用在线方法在香港评估了分离体验量表分类版、5项躯体形式分离问卷和分离障碍访谈量表自陈版(SR-DDIS)的心理测量特性。
这些PD测量方法表现出足够到优秀的内部一致性。PD测量方法与家庭支持呈负相关,并且能够区分有和没有自我报告童年虐待经历的参与者。在线SR-DDIS结果与任何分离障碍(DD)存在与否的临床诊断之间具有高度一致性。DDs组在PD测量方法上的得分显著高于抑郁症组和大学生组。
初步研究结果表明,在香港可以通过在线方式评估PD。有必要进行进一步的调查。
