ABSTRACT

In this article, we examine the associations between functional remission, psychotic symptoms and protective risk factors, and we study the reliability and validity of the Functional Remission Of General Schizophrenia scale (FROGS) in a sample for forensic psychotic patients. Functional remission was measured using the FROGS, psychotic symptoms were assessed using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale scale (PANSS), and protective risk factors were collected using the Structured Assessment of Protective Factors (SAProF). A sample of 127 patients from a forensic medium-secure unit for psychosis were included in this retrospective correlational study. The FROGS factor scales, Daily Life and Relationship subscales and total scale had acceptable psychometric properties. Functional remission is strongly associated with the absence of psychotic symptoms (especially negative symptoms), and protective risk factors. The FROGS factor scales and subscales were able to predict the care setting at discharge (residential, semi-residential, or independent living). Functional remission appears to be a cornerstone in the forensic rehabilitative process as the Good Lives Model for Mental Health and the Remission in Schizophrenia Working Group suggested. The FROGS can be used reliably and validly in a forensic population.

摘要

在本文中，我们研究了功能性缓解、精神病症状和保护性危险因素之间的关联，并研究了一般精神分裂症功能缓解量表 (FROGS) 在法医精神病患者样本中的信度和效度。使用 FROGS 测量功能缓解，使用阳性和阴性症状量表 (PANSS) 评估精神病症状，并使用保护因素的结构化评估 (SAProF) 收集保护性风险因素。这项回顾性相关研究包括来自法医中等安全单位的 127 名精神病患者样本。FROGS 因子量表、日常生活和关系分量表和总量表具有可接受的心理测量特性。功能性缓解与没有精神病症状（尤其是阴性症状）和保护性危险因素密切相关。FROGS 因子量表和子量表能够预测出院时的护理环境（住所、半住所或独立生活）。正如精神健康美好生活模式和精神分裂症缓解工作组建议的那样，功能缓解似乎是法医康复过程的基石。FROGS 可在法医人群中可靠有效地使用。正如精神健康美好生活模式和精神分裂症缓解工作组建议的那样，功能缓解似乎是法医康复过程的基石。FROGS 可在法医人群中可靠有效地使用。正如精神健康美好生活模式和精神分裂症缓解工作组建议的那样，功能缓解似乎是法医康复过程的基石。FROGS 可在法医人群中可靠有效地使用。
