Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

1.9K
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Data Validation

Data validation is an essential part of a comprehensive assessment. Validation is confirming or verifying and opening the door to gathering more assessment data as it clarifies vague or unclear data. The process of checking and verifying the collected information is called data validation. The primary purpose of data validation is to ensure data is as free from error, bias, and misinterpretation as possible.
Nursing assessment guides are generally based on holistic models rather than medical...

Self-Report Tests of Personality

1.2K
Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry
  • Psychometric Validation
  • Mental Health Screening

Background:

  • Reliable screening tools are crucial for identifying mental health problems in Indian children and adolescents.
  • The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) is a widely used screening instrument.
  • Validation in local languages and contexts is essential for accurate assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) in the Malayalam language for Indian children and adolescents.
  • To assess the SDQ's utility across different informants (parents, self, teachers) and sub-scales.
  • To determine the SDQ's discriminative validity in distinguishing clinical from community samples.

Main Methods:

  • The study involved 150 children from a psychiatric clinic and 1984 children from community samples in Kerala, India.
  • Parent-report and self-report (for ages >11) SDQ were administered. Teacher-report SDQ was used for the community sample.
  • Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) curves and Area Under the Curve (AUC) were employed to assess discriminative validity.

Main Results:

  • The SDQ demonstrated reliable discrimination between clinical and community samples for total scores and sub-scales.
  • The tool showed effectiveness in differentiating diagnostic categories within the clinic sample, particularly for conduct disorders.
  • Estimated psychiatric disorder rates in the community were 13.6% (parent-report) and 7.3% (self-report).

Conclusions:

  • The Malayalam version of the SDQ is a valuable screening tool for child and adolescent mental disorders in Kerala, India.
  • The SDQ facilitates early identification and intervention for mental health issues in this population.
  • The study supports the use of the SDQ for both clinical and research purposes among Malayalam speakers.
