"The diagnostic interview for psychoses (DIP): development, reliability and applications." Psychological Medicine 36, no. 1 (September 29, 2005): 69–80. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0033291705005969.
Full textAbstract:
Background. We describe the development, reliability and applications of the Diagnostic Interview for Psychoses (DIP), a comprehensive interview schedule for psychotic disorders.Method. The DIP is intended for use by interviewers with a clinical background and was designed to occupy the middle ground between fully structured, lay-administered schedules, and semi-structured, psychiatrist-administered interviews. It encompasses four main domains: (a) demographic data; (b) social functioning and disability; (c) a diagnostic module comprising symptoms, signs and past history ratings; and (d) patterns of service utilization and patient-perceived need for services. It generates diagnoses according to several sets of criteria using the OPCRIT computerized diagnostic algorithm and can be administered either on-screen or in a hard-copy format.Results. The DIP proved easy to use and was well accepted in the field. For the diagnostic module, inter-rater reliability was assessed on 20 cases rated by 24 clinicians: good reliability was demonstrated for both ICD-10 and DSM-III-R diagnoses. Seven cases were interviewed 2–11 weeks apart to determine test–retest reliability, with pairwise agreement of 0·8–1·0 for most items. Diagnostic validity was assessed in 10 cases, interviewed with the DIP and using the SCAN as ‘gold standard’: in nine cases clinical diagnoses were in agreement.Conclusions. The DIP is suitable for use in large-scale epidemiological studies of psychotic disorders, as well as in smaller studies where time is at a premium. While the diagnostic module stands on its own, the full DIP schedule, covering demography, social functioning and service utilization makes it a versatile multi-purpose tool.

Objectives: Determination of the psychosocial status and assessment of the level of satisfaction in Malaysian cleft palate patients and their parents. Design: Cross-sectional study. Participants and Methods: Sixty cleft lip and palate patients (12 to 17 years of age) from Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia and their parents were selected. The questionnaires used were the Child Interview Schedule, the Parents Interview Schedule, and the Cleft Evaluation Profile (CEP), administered via individual interviews. Results: Patients were teased because of their clefts and felt their self-confidence was affected by the cleft condition. They were frequently teased about cleft-related features such as speech, teeth, and lip appearance. Parents also reported that their children were being teased because of their clefts and that their children's self-confidence was affected by the clefts. Both showed a significant level of satisfaction with the treatment provided by the cleft team. There was no significant difference between the responses of the patients and their parents. The features that were found to be most important for the patients and their parents, in decreasing order of priority, were teeth, nose, lips, and speech. Conclusions: Cleft lip and/or palate patients were teased because of their clefts, and it affected their self-confidence. The Cleft Evaluation Profile is a reliable and useful tool to assess patients’ level of satisfaction with treatment received for cleft lip and/or palate and can identify the types of cleft-related features that are most important for the patients.

"Using the K-SADS psychosis screen to identify people with early psychosis or psychosis risk syndromes." Clinical Child Psychology and Psychiatry 24, no. 4 (May 16, 2019): 809–20. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1359104519846582.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Current methods to identify people with psychosis risk involve administration of specialized tools such as the Structured Interview for Psychosis-Risk Syndromes (SIPS), but these methods have not been widely adopted. Validation of a more multipurpose assessment tool—such as the Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia (K-SADS)—may increase the scope of identification efforts. Methods: We assessed the correspondence between SIPS-determined clinical high risk/early psychosis (CHR/early psychosis) status and K-SADS psychosis screen (child and parent reports and their combination) in a sample of 147 help-seeking individuals aged 12–25. Detailed classification results are reported. Results: Both the child and parent interviews on the K-SADS psychosis screen were strongly predictive of CHR/early psychosis status, although parent reports contributed no significant additional information beyond child reports. Across informants, the presence of either subthreshold hallucinations or subthreshold delusions was highly suggestive of CHR/early psychosis status as determined by SIPS interview (78% (child) and 74% (parent) accuracy). Conclusions: Subthreshold scores on the two-item K-SADS psychosis screen may be good indicators of the presence or absence of early signs of psychosis. The option of using a non-specialized assessment such as the K-SADS as a staged approach to assess for CHR/early psychosis status could increase rates of early psychosis screening and treatment.

Given the ubiquity of sustainability, the study attempts to develop and validate measurement constructs for financial inclusion. Further, it empirically examines the statistical relationship between validated constructs of financial inclusion and financial empowerment of blue-collar migrant workers. This empirical study proposes an exclusive research framework to inspect the development and validation of measurement scales for financial inclusion in the context of sustainable growth in India. The primary data were collected using the structured interview schedule among 268 blue-collar migrant workers. The Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was employed to validate measurement constructs of financial inclusion and examine their hypothetical and conjectural relationships with the help of multiple correlation analysis. This paper identified eight valid and reliable underlying constructs of financial inclusion with the help of an exploratory factor study. The underlying constructs are ease of access, usage, availability, affordability, physical proximity, awareness and knowledge, financial literacy, and financial empowerment. Further, the outcomes of this study also confirmed that the underlying constructs of financial inclusion have a significant positive influence on the financial empowerment of blue-collar migrant workers.

Introduction Health assistants are important functionaries of the primary health care system in India. Their role is supervision of field-based services among other things. A quality assurance mechanism for these health assistants is lacking. The present study was undertaken with the objectives of developing a tool to assess the quality of health assistants in primary health centres (PHCs) and to assess their quality using this tool. Methodology Health assistants from three PHCs in the Wardha district of India were observed for a year using a tool developed from primary health care management Aavancement program modules. Data was collected by direct observation, interview, and review of records for quality of activities. Results Staff strength of health assistants was 87.5%. None of the health assistants were clear about their job descriptions. A supervisory schedule for providing supportive supervision to auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) was absent; most field activities pertaining to maternal and child health received poor focus. Monthly meetings lacked a clear agenda, and comments on quality improvement of services provided by the ANMs were missing. Conclusion Continuous training with sensitization on quality issues is required to improve the unsatisfactory quality.

IntroductionPersonality disorders (PD) are common in psychiatric services and can adversely affect the management and outcome of mental illnesses. Therefore assessment of the personality is an essential part of initial psychiatric examination. To diagnose a PD takes time and competence. A screening instrument in the diagnostic phase can be a solution.AimThe goal of the study was to provide clinicians a powerful screening tool for personality disorders that is ‘quick and dirty’.MethodNine screening instruments were studied in a prospective, observational, test development study with a random sample of Dutch psychiatric outpatients, using the SCID-II as the gold standard. There were three short questionnaires (Standardized Assessment of Personality- Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS), Iowa Personality Disorder Screen (IPDS), Short version of the SCID-II), three longer questionnaires (the SCID-II Personality Questionnaire, the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP-PD/C;) one short semi structured interview (Quick Personality Assessment Schedule (PAS-Q.) and two informant interviews (Standardised Assessment of personality (SAP), the Standardized Assessment of Personality- Abbreviated Scale for informants (SAPAS-INF)) involved.ResultsThe three short questionnaires and the semi structured interview were very useful for determining the presence/absence of PD. The other instruments can be used in particular situations for example to determine a specific PD or if the patient is not able to accomplish the test.ConclusionBefore deciding which screening instrument for PD is the best for your practice, you have to consider psychometric values as well as practical circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
The Hungarian government prescribed distance learning for higher education institutions due to the spread of the coronavirus epidemic which was challenging at the Hungarian Dance Academy. The development of movement skills was difficult without personal presence, no common e-learning practice had existed in the institution before the pandemic. In the research we explored the distance learning and teaching practices developed at the theoretical and dance courses at the Hungarian Dance Academy, as well as the experiences of both teachers and students during the 3 and a half months. Instructors (n=65) and students (n=240) completed an online questionnaire on digital tool use and course management, furthermore 13 of the responding instructors also shared their experiences in a structured interview. Most of the instructors welcomed everything they could benefit from distance learning (e.g. creating new curricula, learning about new digital tools, improving relationships with students), but understandably, online distance learning of dance was considered impossible by many. Some students enjoyed distance learning because of their own schedule and the convenience of their home, but there were many critical remarks about its methods.

The subjects of the study included teachers, principals, the Conferences/Field Education Directors and the BoM chairpersons. The instruments used for data collection were questionnaires for teachers. Interview schedules were organized for education directors, the school BoM chairpersons, the principals and teachers for triangulation. Observation schedule was also organized. This targeted the school infrastructure and generally all what goes on in the school. The school learning facilities and the behavior of teachers in school was also captured here. The other instrument used was the tool for document analysis to collect data for 8 years. Ninety-eight (98) teachers were required to fill the provided questionnaire, but the eleven principals, five education directions and eleven Boards of Management (BoM ) chairpersons were subjected to interviews. Three teachers per school were also interviewed for triangulation purpose. Observations were also done during the visits in schools. Documentary analysis method was also used to gather information on the turnover trends of teachers for eight years. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, means and standard deviations. Documentary analysis was done on records about teacher retention. Content analysis was done on responses from interviews and in open-ended questions to identify the emerging themes. The findings show that more teachers were leaving schools than those being employed in most of the years. Generally, it is evident that some teachers left church employment. The turnover was experienced annually. However, teachers intended to remain in the school as long as the administration was cooperative, understanding, appreciative, recognizes their efforts, was caring and was ready to treat them with dignity. The study recommends that the school administration should be cooperative to teachers, by treating them with dignity and appreciating their efforts. There should be stringent measures for motivating teachers, ensuring that they had access to housing and transport and that they were adequately remunerated.

Background and objective: Laparoscopic surgery has become a widespread operation for treatment of uncomplicated symptomatic abdominal pathologies. Gynecological laparoscopic procedures are often associated with shoulder pain that may cause more discomfort to the women than the pain at the site of incision. Relive of shoulder pain is an essential goal of gynecological nurse. Its management could be pharmacological or non-pharmacological methods. Among the non-pharmacological approaches are the use of effleurage massage and warm application. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of effleurage massage versus warm application on shoulder pain among postoperative women with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods: Design: A comparative non-randomized controlled clinical trial was utilized in the present study started by the beginning of September 2018 and continued until the end of January 2019. Setting: This study was carried out in the laparoscopic unit at the Elshatby Maternity University Hospital in Alexandria. Subjects: A convenience sample of 80 women who were available at the time of data collection were recruited from the above mentioned setting. Tools: Tool I: Socio-demographic and clinical data structured interview schedule. Tool II: Visual analog scale (VAS), Tool III: physiologic and behavioral response to pain sheet (PBRPS), Tool IV: A modified version of Johansson Pain-o-meter (JPOM).Results: The study results revealed that shoulder pain intensity was statistically significant before and after intervention among the massage and warm application groups (p = .000). It was also statistically significant between the two groups after intervention (p = .000), where a sizeable proportion of the effleurage massage group (70%) experienced no pain, compared to only 25% of the warm application group.Conclusions: The current study suggests that massage group induces less shoulder pain intensity than the other modality.

IntroductionBefore the coronavirus pandemic, children who were on the Early Years Neurodevelopment (EYND) assessment pathway and suspected to have possible Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), received clinic based appointments. This process included a parental interview by a doctor, a specialist speech and language therapy assessment, autism diagnostic observation schedule (ADOS), which were all carried out on hospital sites. These were postponed in March following national guidance. Our aim was to continue providing accurate evidence-based service for ASD diagnosis.MethodsWe utilised evidence-based telehealth methods to perform a specialist speech and language assessment in a child's home via video call. Parents were also invited to share videos of everyday activities via a secure portal. We could observe the child in a meaningful setting and witness functional impact of their needs. Each case is discussed by a multiagency panel based on DSM-V criteria.Online training was undertaken by professionals to deliver the Brief Observation of Autism Symptoms (BOSA) based on the ADOS for COVID times. Parents were coached by the therapist to enable them to become the administrator, rather than a professional.ResultsTelephonic feedback from the first ten parents whose children underwent a telehealth assessment has been positive; the home was deemed more natural and for some less distressing than clinic. Formal patient surveys have been devised for both the telehealth and BOSA clinic assessments. Analysis is expected by the end of March.To date we have been able to reach an outcome for thirty children, the diagnosis of ASD for twenty-four children and the other six received a diagnosis of global developmental delay or language disorder.ConclusionsWe expect that telehealth will reduce the number of assessments before an ASD diagnosis is made resulting in more prudent healthcare. The new methods have demonstrated clear increased parental participation.

AbstractObjective. –Clinical diagnosis has been shown to be unreliable compared to structured diagnostic schedules. However, clinicians rarely use structured diagnostic schedules due to concerns about the feasibility in clinical practice and about patient acceptance. Mini International Neuropsychiatric Schedule is a short diagnostic instrument validated against SCID and CIDI but its feasibility and patient acceptance has not been studied.Subjects and methods. –One hundred and eleven patients admitted to a partial program were administered Mini International Neuropsychiatric Schedule and the interview was timed. A short questionnaire was administered to assess patients’ views about the interview. For a subgroup of patients, diagnoses by both open interviews and Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) were available. These were compared to look for agreement in primary diagnoses and co-morbid conditions.Results. –MINI took an average of 16.4 min to administer. Patients’ views of MINI were positive. It was considered comprehensive enough to cover all patient symptoms and at the same time not unduly lengthy. Patients were not bothered by the interview format. There was disagreement between MINI primary diagnosis and open diagnosis in 42% cases. In 33% the disagreement was of substantial clinical significance. MINI diagnosed more co-morbid conditions (average 2.05 compared to 0.5 in open interview).Conclusions. –MINI is a short diagnostic interview schedule that can be easily incorporated into routine clinical interviews. It has good acceptance by patients.

The prospective benefit of mHealth can be expected to revolutionize health service profileworldwide. mHealth consist of short message service (SMS), web based interventions, smart phoneapplications and telehealth. Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is now familiar among women in theirreproductive age as a disorder affecting them irrespective of their age. Young women in India have highprevalence of PCOS ranging from 9.13 to 36 per cent. PCOS inclines young women at a greater risk ofdeveloping insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome as well as cardiovascular disease. Hundred youngwomen aged 19-25 years were selected from ten hostels located in Coimbatore city, Tamil Nadu.Formulation of the interview schedule was done as a tool to assess the information of the locale, theirhealth status, lifestyle practice and physical activity level. The tools used for dietary assessment included24 hour dietary recall carried out for three consecutive days and a questionnaire to know their frequencyof consuming different foods. Anthropometric measurement was carried out to compute BMI and waisthip ratio. A pre-intervention questionnaire to assess the knowledge of young women on PCOS was alsoadministered. mHealth message was developed on PCOS containing 110-150 characters includingpunctuation, bold and italic letters and mHealth messages were sent for a period of 12 days via WhatsApp.After 12 days, with the help of post-intervention questionnaire a change in knowledge on PCOS wasappraised. mHealth can be used as an effective communication tool to provide information and bringchanges in knowledge, attitude and behavior for other areas which is likely to change the current situationof delivering health service around the world.

Full textAbstract:
Developmental disabilities such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affect a person’s ability to interact socially, and communicate effectively and also cause behavioral issues. Children with ASD cannot be cured but they might benefit from early intervention to enhance their cognitive abilities, favorite their growth , and affect their lives and families in a positive way. Multiple standard ASD screening tools are used such as the autism diagnostic observational schedule (ADOS) and the autism diagnostic interview (ADI), which are known to be lengthy and challenging without specialist training to administrate and score. The process of ASD assessment can be time-consuming and costly, and the growing number of autistic cases worldwide indicates an urgent need for a quick, simple, and dependable self-administered autism screening tool that may be used if a child displays some of the common signs of autism, and to ensure whether or not he should seek professional full ASD diagnosis. According to a number of studies, ASD individuals exhibit facial phenotypes that are distinct from those of normally developing children. Furthermore, convolutional neural networks (CNN) have mostly found utility in image classification applications due to their high classification accuracy. Using facial images, a dense convolutional network (Densenet) model, and cloud-based advantages, in this paper we proposed a practical, fast, and easy-to-use ASD online screening approach. Easily available through the internet via the link “https://asd-detector.herokuapp.com/”, our suggested web-based screening instrument may be a practical and trustworthy tool for practitioners in their ASD diagnostic procedures with a 98 percent testing dataset classification accuracy.

Teachers are the foremost source of knowledge that assists the students to slot in higher order thinking and construct their own knowledge. Teachers can play an imperative role in converting the raw information into useful knowledge for the students. The major obstructions that are related with weak teachers performance incorporate low level of motivation, inadequate incentives for teachers, lack of supervision, weak inspection system, unfortunate teachers training, scarce teachers qualification and decentralized teachers monitoring system. Additional blockades embrace passive and traditional teaching methods, teachers opposition to reforms, little emphasize on teaching practice and lack of future economic security for the teachers. The researcher interviewed N1=600 respondents through multistage sampling technique. Interview schedule was used as a tool for data collection process from n1=20 affiliated schools (out of N2=306 affiliated schools of BISE) from Multan district. The researcher institute that usage of obsolete teaching methodologies (like memorizing, individual work, repetition and cramming) has deteriorating influences on the students educational carrier. On the basis of the recent research being conducted the researcher concluded that cheating in examinations, lack of dedication to studies, overemphasize on memorizing and weak conceptualization of the students about the particular lesson are the major outcomes of weak teachers performance. Accordingly usage of modern teaching methodologies (such as direct instruction, cooperative learning, group work and discussion) can improve the quality of teachers instruction.

Full textAbstract:
Women of Indian origin are said to have a lower rate of recognized common mental disorders and a higher frequency of consultation in primary care than white British. The aim of this study was to evaluate factors, including explanatory models (patient perspectives) of illness, associated with common mental disorders and with frequency of consultation among women of Indian origin in primary care. The investigation was conducted in a general practice in West London with a large Indian population. Consecutive woman attenders of Indian descent were screened with the General Health Questionnaire-12 to identify probable cases of psychiatric morbidity. 100 patients were interviewed with the Revised Clinical Interview Schedule (CIS-R), a specific tool for the diagnosis of common mental disorders, and the Short Explanatory Model Interview, which elicits the individual's conceptualization of his or her illness. Those patients who satisfied CIS-R criteria were classified as ‘cases’, the others as ‘controls’. Common mental disorders were documented in 30% of patients. The general practitioner's diagnosis of common mental disorders had a sensitivity of 17% and a specificity of 91%. Individuals with common mental disorders had a higher frequency of consultation (P=0.017), were less likely to see depression as an indication for medical intervention and were more likely to withhold some of their concerns from the general practitioner. Incorrect diagnosis by the GP was most likely to occur when patients did not disclose all their complaints. These associations were all statistically significant after adjustment for possible confounders by multiple linear and logistic regression. Women of Indian origin in this sample had rates of common mental disorders similar to those in other UK populations. Differing conceptualizations of common mental disorders may contribute to their underrecognition in women of Indian origin.

Full textAbstract:
Aim:The aim of this study was to add depth and enhance our insight of the lived experience of the less-explored area of inter-professional supervision with Educational Psychologists (EPs). It was the intention to enrich our understanding of these ‘human-to-human’ experiences and consider the process of supervision in more depth, thereby exploring the value of EPs offering supervision services.Method:Seven Family Support Key Workers (FSKWs) who had engaged in supervision with EPs over a period of 10–15 years took part in the study. A semi-structured interview schedule was used to ask about their experiences, and the transcriptions were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).Findings:Five overarching themes were identified. Supervisees experienced a safe relationship with the EPs and took the opportunity for the deeper exploration of the self. They also experienced supervision as a learning space and had the choice of whether to engage in supervision. The findings also describe movements and changes in these experiences over time.Limitations:The potential of positive bias, the selection process used to recruit participants and the medium of language as the main tool for accessing the supervisees’ experience, all limit the transferability of the findings of this study.Conclusions:Each of the themes is considered in light of existing literature. The importance of establishing a foundational relationship to create space for the deeper exploration of the self to support learning and development is emphasised. The value of EPs offering supervision is elucidated.
