Abstract

Purpose

Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) is still poorly implemented in the routine forensic psychiatric practice. As reliable ROM instruments are lacking, the aims of this research was to assess the psychometric properties of the Parma Scale (Pr-Scale) and its sensitivity to measure scores' longitudinal changes.

Methods

Interrater and test-retest reliability, internal consistency and concurrent validity were investigated in offenders with mental disorder. Scores' longitudinal changeability was examined after a 3-month period using the Wilcoxon test for repeated measure.

Results

Sixty male adult patients were recruited in this study. Our findings showed good to excellent interrater and test-retest reliability, concurrent validity and internal consistency for the Pr-Scale. Pr-Scale scores also display a moderate to large changeability over time.

Conclusions

Our results support the clinical use of the Pr-Scale in forensic psychiatric settings as reliable ROM instrument.

帕尔马量表用于精神障碍罪犯治疗评估的心理测量特征:一种用于法医精神科常规结果监测的新工具

目的:常规结果监测(ROM)在常规法医精神病学实践中仍未得到很好的实施。由于缺乏可靠的ROM工具，本研究的目的是评估帕尔马量表(r-量表)的心理测量特性及其对测量得分纵向变化的敏感性。方法对精神障碍罪犯进行量表和重测信度、内部一致性和并发效度调查。3个月后使用重复测量的Wilcoxon检验检查得分的纵向可变性。结果本研究共招募60例男性成年患者。我们的研究结果显示，r-量表的解释信度、重测信度、并发效度和内部一致性为良好至优异。随着时间的推移，r量表得分也显示出中等到较大的变化。结论本研究结果支持将Pr-Scale作为一种可靠的ROM工具在法医精神科临床应用。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Law and Psychiatry is intended to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and information among professionals concerned with the interface of law and psychiatry. There is a growing awareness of the need for exploring the fundamental goals of both the legal and psychiatric systems and the social implications of their interaction. The journal seeks to enhance understanding and cooperation in the field through the varied approaches represented, not only by law and psychiatry, but also by the social sciences and related disciplines.
