Anhedonia, a symptom prevalent in schizophrenia patients, is thought to arise either within negative symptomatology or from secondary sources, such as depression. The common co-occurrence of these diseases complicates the assessment of anhedonia in schizophrenia.
In a sample of 40 outpatients with chronic schizophrenia, we explored both the validity of the Snaith-Hamilton Pleasure Scale (SHAPS) self-report for anhedonia assessment and those factors influenced its scoring. We assessed negative symptoms using the Brief Negative Symptom Scale (BNSS), depression symptoms using the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS) and cognitive impairment using the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS), before exploring associations between these scales.
The SHAPS was validated for use in schizophrenia. SHAPS scores were not associated with negative symptoms or cognitive impairment, but were linked to a single Depression symptom: Hopelessness (r = 0.52, p < 0.001).
SHAPS scores, therefore, appear to only reflect anticipatory anhedonia arising from the affective domain. We advocate the development of multi-faceted self-report measures to more holistically assess anhedonia in schizophrenia.
快感缺失是精神分裂症患者中普遍存在的一种症状,被认为是在阴性症状中出现,或者源于诸如抑郁等继发因素。这些疾病的共同出现使得精神分裂症中快感缺失的评估变得复杂。
在40名慢性精神分裂症门诊患者的样本中,我们探讨了斯奈斯 - 汉密尔顿快感量表(SHAPS)自评对快感缺失评估的有效性以及影响其评分的因素。在探究这些量表之间的关联之前,我们使用简明阴性症状量表(BNSS)评估阴性症状,使用精神分裂症卡尔加里抑郁量表(CDSS)评估抑郁症状,使用精神分裂症认知简明评估量表(BACS)评估认知障碍。
SHAPS被验证可用于精神分裂症。SHAPS评分与阴性症状或认知障碍无关,但与单一抑郁症状:绝望感相关(r = 0.52,p < 0.001)。
因此,SHAPS评分似乎仅反映了情感领域产生的预期性快感缺失。我们主张开发多方面的自评量表,以更全面地评估精神分裂症中的快感缺失。
