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...

Assessment of Airway, Skin Color, and Use of Accessory Muscles

1.6K
A thorough assessment of respiratory health is paramount in clinical settings to identify and manage respiratory distress and ensure adequate oxygenation. This article elaborates on the critical aspects of respiratory evaluation, including airway assessment, skin color examination, and the observation of accessory muscle use, which are integral to effectively diagnosing and managing patients with respiratory conditions.

Self-Discrepancy Theory

One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Dermatology
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) involves preoccupation with perceived appearance flaws.
  • BDD is frequently observed in dermatologic patient populations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To validate the Arabic version of the Body Dysmorphic Disorder Questionnaire (BDDQ).
  • To assess the BDDQ's utility in dermatologic settings for Arabic-speaking individuals.

Main Methods:

  • Development and Arabic translation of the BDDQ, adapted for dermatologic contexts.
  • Assessment of construct, structural, and criterion validity, alongside reliability testing.
  • Determination of screening and diagnostic cut-off values against physician diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • The Arabic BDDQ demonstrated appropriate construct validity and was unidimensional (57% variance).
  • Excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.889) and appropriate structural and criterion validity (AUC = 0.869).
  • Defined cut-off scores: 11.5 for screening (Sensitivity=100%, Specificity=31%) and 18.5 for diagnosis (Sensitivity=83%, Specificity=83.5%).

Conclusions:

  • The Arabic BDDQ scale is a validated quantitative tool for use in dermatology.
  • Further research is recommended to confirm the scale's screening and diagnostic efficacy.
