Abstract:
Objective: To develop the Risk Assessment Scale of Severe Psychiatric Patients in Community and test its reliability and validity. Methods: A random sample of 860 severe psychiatric patients, which was selected from 8 communities in Chaoyang District of Beijing, completed the Risk Assessment Scale of Severe Psychiatric Patients in Community. The internal consistency reliability, the observer reliability, and the correlative coefficients between the total and items of the scale were analyzed, and the exploratory factor analysis was conducted. Results: (1) The Cronbach's coefficient of the scale was 0. 86, and the observer coefficient was 0.92. (2) The Spearman correlative coefficients between the total and items ranged from 0.40 ～ 0.56. (3) Exploratory factor analysis showed that the scale had 4 main factors, all of which could account for 68.14 percent of the whole variance, and the ten item loadings ranged from 0. 60 ～0.91. (4) The patient who scored higher than 35 was called high risk patient Causing trouble behavior of high risk patient was obviously higher than others. Conclusion: The results indicate that the Risk Assessment Scale of Severe Psychiatric Patients in Community has good reliability and validity.
