Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Adolescent Psychology
  • Psychological Assessment

Background:

  • The Symptom Check List-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) is a widely used psychological assessment tool.
  • Understanding symptom patterns in adolescent psychiatric inpatients is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Normative data for adolescent psychiatric inpatients using the SCL-90-R is limited.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze symptom patterns and severity using the SCL-90-R in adolescent psychiatric inpatients.
  • To compare SCL-90-R data from inpatients with previously published data from adolescent nonpatients.
  • To identify potential differences in symptom presentation between these groups.

Main Methods:

  • Collected SCL-90-R data from 486 adolescent psychiatric inpatients.
  • Compared inpatient data with existing published data from adolescent nonpatients.
  • Analyzed overall symptom severity and specific symptom dimensions, including the Positive Symptom Distress Index (PSDI).

Main Results:

  • No significant differences in overall symptom severity were found between inpatients and nonpatients.
  • Inpatients exhibited higher Positive Symptom Distress Index (PSDI) scores.
  • Males showed less severe somatization and psychoticism, while females displayed more severe depressive symptoms compared to nonpatients.

Conclusions:

  • Adolescent psychiatric inpatients and nonpatients may not differ substantially in overall symptom severity.
  • Specific symptom profiles, such as higher distress and sex-specific symptom variations, distinguish inpatients.
  • Further research is needed to establish representative adolescent inpatient norms for the SCL-90-R.
