Reliability and Validity of a Brief Patient-Report Instrument for Psychiatric Outcome Evaluation

Eisen, Susan V., Dill, Diana L., Grob, Mollie C.·1994·Psychiatric Services

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The authors describe the Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale (BASIS-32), a brief patient-report measure for psychiatric outcome assessment, and present the measure's factor structure and reliability and validity data. METHODS: Using the BASIS-32, interviews were conducted with a total of 387 patients shortly after their admission to the adult inpatient services of a private not-for-profit psychiatric hospital. Six months after admission, they received a follow-up questionnaire version of the instrument. RESULTS: Factor analysis of the instrument yielded five factors, on which subscales were based: relation to self and others, daily living and role functioning, depression and anxiety, impulsive and addictive behavior, and psychosis. Internal consistency of the subscales ranged from .63 to .80. Internal consistency of the full 32-item scale was .89. Test-retest reliability ranged from .65 to .81 for the five subscales. Concurrent and discriminant validity analyses indicated that the BASIS-32 ratings successfully discriminated patients hospitalized six months after admission from those living in the community, patients working at follow-up from those not working, and patients with particular diagnoses. Follow-up ratings indicated that the BASIS-32 is sensitive to changes in symptomatology and functioning. CONCLUSIONS: The BASIS-32 provides a brief, standardized assessment of symptoms and problems from the patient's perspective. The instrument can be used for outcome assessment with most psychiatric inpatients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
