To test the ability of nonpsychiatrist physicians to correctly diagnose organic mental disorders in patients who present with psychiatric symptoms a multiple-choice questionnaire was distributed. Given six brief case histories, little more than half (55%) of the respondents made the right choice even half of the time. The results strongly suggest a need among physicians for increased familiarity with the psychiatric manifestations of medical-surgical conditions.
为测试非精神科医生正确诊断出现精神症状患者的器质性精神障碍的能力,发放了一份多项选择题问卷。给出六个简短的病例史,即使在一半的时间里,也只有略多于一半(55%)的受访者做出了正确选择。结果强烈表明医生需要更多地熟悉内科 - 外科疾病的精神表现。
