Abstract

Background: Adolescents admitted as acute inpatients are a particularly vulnerable psychosocial population. This study aimed to examine their level of personality functioning in an acute psychiatric treatment setting.

Methods: We evaluated personality functioning in 62 adolescents using the Level of Personality Functioning-Questionnaire 12-18 (LoPF-Q 12-18) from a patient perspective and the Level of Personality Functioning Scale (LPFS) completed by clinicians.

Results: Adolescent patients exhibited a relatively high level of impaired personality functioning, with females tending to show partly higher levels of impairment than males. The agreement between self-reported and clinician reported impairment of personality functioning was low. Biopsychosocial mental health was a strong predictor of self-reported and clinician-reported levels of personality functioning, in contrast to nonsuicidal self-injurious behavior and suicidality.

Conclusion: Our findings identify important characteristics of adolescents in acute psychiatric inpatient units. The LoPF-Q may serve as a valuable screening tool for diagnostics and treatment.

急性精神病治疗环境中青少年人格功能水平：一项队列研究。

背景：作为急性住院病人的青少年是一个特别脆弱的社会心理群体。本研究旨在检查他们的人格功能水平在急性精神病治疗设置。方法：采用人格功能水平问卷12-18 （lopf - q12 -18）和临床医师填写的人格功能水平量表（LPFS）对62名青少年进行人格功能评估。结果：青少年患者表现出较高程度的人格功能受损，女性倾向于表现出比男性更高程度的损害。自我报告和临床医生报告的人格功能损害之间的一致性很低。与非自杀性自残行为和自杀倾向相比，生物心理社会心理健康是自我报告和临床报告的人格功能水平的有力预测因子。结论：我们的研究结果确定了急性精神科住院病房青少年的重要特征。LoPF-Q可作为一种有价值的诊断和治疗筛选工具。
