Abstract

Objective

Given that eating disorders (EDs) are considered one of the deadliest mental illnesses, the development of appropriate assessment instruments is a necessity. Despite the extensive literature on assessing EDs, there has been a lack of focus on semi-structured interviews. The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive review of psychometrically validated semi-structured interviews for EDs.

Methods

Included studies (N = 24) were required to present a semi-structured interview for EDs that has been validated through a psychometric process. The APA PsycNet, MEDLINE, APA Psycinfo, Pubmed, and Health & Psychosocial Instruments databases were searched. The literature search included publications through May 2024, with no earliest year restriction.

Results

A total of six instruments were identified and reviewed in terms of conceptual design, purpose and content, psychometric characteristics, and strengths and limitations. Three main findings were highlighted: (a) only half of the instruments are up to date; (b) the instruments are based on either a categorical or a mixed categorical-dimensional approach; and (c) the predominance of the categorical approach.

Conclusions

The results are discussed regarding the conceptual approaches of the instrument to provide clinical and research implications. Despite the many strengths of the instrument, additional psychometric research is needed.

维度评估有希望吗？对用于评估饮食失调症的经心理计量学验证的（半）结构化访谈的批判性回顾。

目的：鉴于进食障碍（ED）被认为是最致命的精神疾病之一，因此有必要开发适当的评估工具。尽管有关饮食失调症评估的文献很多，但对半结构式访谈却缺乏关注。本文旨在对经过心理测量学验证的 ED 半结构式访谈进行全面综述：方法：所纳入的研究（N = 24）必须是通过心理测量过程验证过的针对 ED 的半结构式访谈。检索了 APA PsycNet、MEDLINE、APA Psycinfo、Pubmed 和 Health & Psychosocial Instruments 数据库。文献搜索包括截至 2024 年 5 月的出版物，没有最早年份限制：结果：共确定了六种工具，并从概念设计、目的和内容、心理测量特征、优势和局限性等方面进行了审查。结果：共确定了六种工具，并从概念设计、目的和内容、心理测量特征以及优势和局限性等方面进行了审查，其中突出强调了三个主要发现：(a) 只有一半的工具是最新的；(b) 这些工具都基于分类方法或分类-维度混合方法；(c) 分类方法占主导地位：结论：本研究就工具的概念方法对结果进行了讨论，以提供临床和研究意义。尽管该工具有很多优点，但仍需进行更多的心理测量研究。
