“…Two papers also highlighted that the longitudinal effects of consumer measures can be examined using a block stratified multiple regression model (Ruggeri et al , 2001) and survival analysis which examines later transition to psychosis of consumers (Uttinger et al , 2018). For instance, Uttinger et al (2018) applied the Frankfurt Complaint Questionnaire to predict later transition to psychosis among consumers using univariate Cox proportional hazard models. The FCQ totals or factors were used as the independent variable and the time to transition to psychosis was used as the outcome measure (Uttinger et al , 2018).…”

Purpose This integrative review aimed to identify and synthesis literature on analysis techniques and methodological approaches used to analyse consumer measures in mental health research. Design/methodology/approach The review included papers published up to January 2020 across seven databases: CINAHL, Web of Science, Medline, PsycINFO, EMBASE, Scopus and Google Scholar. Data search and extraction was conducted according to the recommended guidelines for conducting review by Cochrane and Joanna Briggs Institute. Mixed method synthesis was used to integrate both qualitative and quantitative data into a single synthesis. Findings The initial search yielded a total of 2,282 papers. A total of 32 papers were included in the synthesis. Most of the included papers (25/32; 78.12%) focused on psychometric properties, whereas 14% (5/32) targeted analysis techniques, and 6.3% (2/32) addressed methodological justification. The measurement models (e.g. psychometric properties) were analysed through validity and reliability testing as part of instrument development and adaptation. The structural models were analysed using techniques such as structural equation modelling, multivariable regression models, intraclass correlation coefficient and partial least squares–structural equation modelling. Practical implications Although consumer-reported instruments are analysed using techniques involving linear, hierarchical and longitudinal effects, no attempt has been given to procedures that applied complex data mining or machine learning. Consumer researchers, clinicians and quality management are encouraged to apply rigorous analysis techniques to critically evaluate consumer outcome measures. Originality/value This review provides evidence on the analysis techniques in mental health research to inform the training of mental health professionals, students and quality assessment practitioners.

“…Contrary to the BSABS, SPI-A, and SPI-CY that are assessed in clinical interviews by trained clinicians, the FCQ is a self-report questionnaire developed from example statements of the BSABS. Compared to the interview instruments, the FCQ has the advantage of not necessitating training to be administered, and it is the most extensive self-report BSs questionnaire used [41].…”

“…In fact, while from instruments dealing with clinical assessments of BSs (such as those performed through the BSABS), two partially overlapping psychosis-risk criteria were developed -the cognitive-perceptive BS [50], and the cognitive disturbances [31], basic symptoms identified by self-reported questionnaires, such as the FCQ, ap-DOI: 10.1159/000514926 pear to be less linked to a specific diagnosis. For this reason, as well as the missing correspondence of its items with presumably corresponding BS assessed in a clinical interview [51], FCQ has not been recommended as a psychosis-risk screener of BSs criteria [41,51].…”

Perceived Stress and Life Events in Patients Affected by Schizophrenia and Schizoaffective and Bipolar Disorder: Is There a Role for Self-Reported Basic Symptoms?

Introduction: The stress-diathesis model of psychotic disorders describes, in vulnerable individuals, the role of psychosocial stress in the onset and exacerbation of psychotic symptoms. Another interesting approach to the study of vulnerability in the development of psychosis is represented by the basic symptoms concept. Objective: The present study aims at proposing an integration between these two models and investigating possible associations between psychotic symptoms, basic symptoms, perceived stress, and life events in a sample of patients affected by schizophrenia (SZ), schizoaffective (SA), and bipolar disorder with and without psychotic symptoms. Methods: 112 patients were recruited in two university hospitals. Severity of psychiatric symptoms (Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale, PANSS), basic symptoms (Frankfurt Complaint Questionnaire, FCQ), perceived stress (Stress-related Vulnerability Scale, SVS), and life events (Paykel’s interview for recent life events) were assessed. Results: Patients affected by bipolar disorder (both with and without psychotic symptoms) showed a higher number of independent life events (p < 0.01) and tended to report more frequently at least 1 life event in the previous 6 months (p < 0.01) than patients affected by SZ or SA disorder. No differences emerged between the study groups in perceived stress nor in measures of basic symptoms. In the whole sample, a logistic regression analysis showed that the SVS total score (p < 0.05) and PANSS total score (p < 0.001) were associated with the presence of psychotic symptoms. Conclusions: In the study sample, life events and basic symptoms did not play a major role in influencing psychotic symptoms, compared to the subjective perception of stress and the severity of psychopathology. Taken together, these results can be informative for rehabilitation therapies aimed at enhancing resilience and coping strategies in this vulnerable group of patients.

“…These and other relationships can now be examined in more detail using the latest genetic, neuroimaging and behavioral methods. Among the most relevant areas of research on sensorimotor abnormalities are: (1) sensorimotor development in children and adolescents ( Filatova et al, 2017( Filatova et al, , 2018, (2) sensorimotor abnormalities as vulnerability markers in individuals with psychosis risk syndrome Kent et al, 2019 ;Kindler et al, 2019 ;Mittal et al, 2014 ), (3) sensorimotor signs and symptoms as predictors of the clinical course in patients with first-episode SZ ( Cuesta et al, 2018a( Cuesta et al, , 2014, (4) neuronal correlates of sensorimotor and psychomotor dysfunction in SZ spectrum disorders Martino et al, 2020Martino et al, , 2018Northoff et al, 2004 ;Walther et al, 2017a , b ), (5) impaired hand gesture performance in SZ ( Dutschke et al, 2018 ;Viher et al, 2018 ;Walther et al, 2019aWalther and Mittal, 2016 ;Walther et al, 2015b ), (6) assessment of movement abnormalities with objective instruments ( Mentzel et al, 2016b ;van Harten et al, 2017 ;Willems et al, 2016 ), (7) motor systems as a novel target for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) ( Mittal and Walther, 2019 ) and, as a cross-cutting objective, (8) contrasting their different empirically defined models, e.g. dimensional vs categorical, on various biological measurements, respectively.…”
