The Present State Examination (PSE) is discussed with regard to its use in surveys of subjects who are not psychiatric patients. Although the PSE was originally developed for use by psychiatrists with patients with obvious mental illness, the interview also contains sections dealing in considerable detail with the commoner and less severe complaints and symptoms that are found in a significant proportion of 'normal subjects'. A shortened version of the PSE (8th edition) is described, limited to these sections, which has been used in population surveys, by interviewers who are not psychiatrists, The training of such interviewers is described, and information on a reliability and repeatability study is presented. This shows that with proper training, non-psychiatric interviewers can achieve standards of inter-rater reliability that are comparable to those previously reported between psychiatrists.
本文讨论了现状检查（PSE）在非精神科患者调查中的应用。尽管PSE最初是为精神科医生与患有明显精神疾病的患者使用而开发的，但该访谈也包含了相当详细地处理在相当比例的“正常受试者”中发现的较常见和不太严重的主诉及症状的部分。本文描述了PSE（第8版）的一个简化版本，该版本仅限于这些部分，已被非精神科医生的访谈员用于人群调查。本文还描述了此类访谈员的培训情况，并提供了关于可靠性和可重复性研究的信息。这表明，经过适当培训，非精神科访谈员能够达到与之前报道的精神科医生之间相当的评分者间可靠性标准。
