BACKGROUND
Previous research, often using the symptom-sign inventory, had demonstrated a high prevalence of psychiatric disorder among homeless people. The delusions-symptoms-states inventory detects the presence or absence of four classes of psychiatric illness--delusions of disintegration, integrated delusions, neurotic symptoms and dysthymic states.
AIM
A study was undertaken to determine the utility of the delusions-symptoms-states inventory in a sample of homeless men, and the prevalence of psychiatric symptoms in this group.
METHOD
The inventory was administered to 55 homeless men in a reception centre in Sheffield.
RESULTS
Nearly half of the men obtained scores on the inventory suggesting that they had psychiatric symptoms. There was an overlap of syndromes, particularly among those with severe psychiatric illness. For example, seven men had all four classes of psychiatric illness.
CONCLUSION
Use of the questionnaire proved satisfactory. The findings support the contention that reception centres and similar accommodation are repositories for homeless mentally ill people.
背景
以往研究（常使用症状体征量表）表明，无家可归者中精神障碍患病率很高。妄想-症状-状态量表用于检测四类精神疾病的存在与否，即解体妄想、整合性妄想、神经症症状和心境恶劣状态。
目的
开展一项研究，以确定妄想-症状-状态量表在无家可归男性样本中的效用，以及该群体中精神症状的患病率。
方法
对谢菲尔德一个接待中心的55名无家可归男性进行该量表测试。
结果
近一半男性在量表上的得分表明他们有精神症状。综合征之间存在重叠，尤其是在患有严重精神疾病的人群中。例如，有7名男性患有所有四类精神疾病。
结论
问卷调查结果令人满意。研究结果支持以下观点，即接待中心和类似住所是无家可归的精神病患者的收容场所。
