Abstract:
OBJECTIVES: The diagnosis and assessment of personality disorders are crucial for research, as well as for clinical practice. The Structured Interview for the DSM-IV Personality (SIDP-IV) is a structured diagnostic interview for DSM-IV personality disorders (PD). This study aimed to develop the Korean version of the SIDP-IV and to test its inter-rater reliability. METHODS: A panel consisting of 7 psychiatrists translated the SIDP-IV into Korean. Six psychiatrists and 1 psychiatric nurse, all trained to apply the SIPD-IV, interviewed 70 inpatients (male, 30;female, 40) using this translation, two joint-examiners per patient interview. We used kappa coefficients to test diagnosis agreement, the Pearson correlation coefficient to test K-SIDP-IV total score agreement, and percent agreement to test the agreement on the number of DSM-IV criteria met. RESULTS: The kappa coefficients for most of the PDs, such as paranoid, borderline, histrionic, narcissistic, avoidant, dependent, and obsessive-compulsive, were excellent (> or =0.80). Moreover, the kappa coefficients for schizoid and antisocial PD were acceptable (k=0.66). The Pearson correlation coefficient for the K-SIDP-IV total scores were high for all personality disorders (r=0.91-0.97). Percent agreement regarding the number of DSM-IV criteria met varied from 92.9% to 100%. CONCLUSION: The Korean version of the SIDP-IV is a reliable instrument for the assessment and diagnosis of personality disorders.
