“…The MSPQ is a self-report measure that assesses somatic and autonomic perception. The scale score evidenced good reliability coefficients in the current sample (see Table 1) and does an adequate job of assessing somatization as reported in another study (Mickens et al, 2021).…”

Many patients who seek treatment for chronic back pain are also at a higher risk of having comorbid anxietyand depression-related disorders. Measures of mood and anxiety are routinely used in medical settings to screen for depression-and anxiety-related symptoms. However, factor analyses of other measures of mood and anxiety in medical settings often detect a somatization factor which, in turn, limits their discriminant validity for use across medical settings. The Inventory of Depression and Anxiety Symptoms-II (IDAS-II) is a comprehensive self-report inventory that assesses varying aspects of mood and anxiety. The purpose of this investigation is to examine the three-factor structure and validity of the IDAS-II in a chronic pain treatment-seeking sample. A total of 169 patients completed the IDAS-II and the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2-Restructured Form (MMPI-2-RF) upon admission. Confirmatory factor analyses were computed using the scales of the IDAS-II and zero-order correlations between the IDAS-II factors from the best-fitting model and scale scores of the MMPI-2-RF. Overall, a three-factor structure of the IDAS-II was not supported; instead, a one-factor solution fit best. Using the MMPI-2-RF as external criteria, the one-factor of the IDAS-II correlated highest with the Somatic Complaints scale and the Demoralization scale. Overall, item content on the IDAS-II shares overlap with many symptoms that patients with chronic pain likely would endorse. Discussion about implications of using mood/anxiety measures and models in medical settings that are in line with the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) are discussed. Public Significance StatementMood and anxiety measures and screeners are regularly used in medical settings. This study suggests that measures of mood and anxiety may evidence poor discriminant validity due to somatization that is prevalent in many medical populations.

“…One point of discussion is with regard to scores on the Somatic/Cognitive scales and Behavioral/Externalizing Scales of the MMPI-3. Historically, patients across medical settings tended to score substantially higher than those in the general population on the Somatic/Cognitive scales of the MMPI-2-RF (Block et al, 2013; Marek et al, 2013; Mickens et al, 2021). Patients in the current sample produced mean scores that more closely mirror those in the MMPI-3 normative sample.…”

The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) family of instruments has been commonly used for the evaluation of patients seeking surgical intervention for back pain. A new version of the MMPI, the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-3 (MMPI-3), has been released with updated normative data, expanded and revised item content, and updated scales. The purpose of this investigation is to report reliability and validity findings for MMPI-3 scale scores of patients seeking spine surgery. Using a sample of 761 spine surgery candidates (390 men and 371 women), descriptive data, reliability and standard error of measurement, and zero-order correlations using external criteria (self-report and information gathered from a medical record review/clinical interview) were calculated. By and large, men and women produced MMPI-3 scale scores that were similar with a few exceptions. Many reliability estimates and standard errors of measurement were replicable compared to those reported for the MMPI-3 normative sample for scales that yielded adequate range. The scale scores of the MMPI-3 also yielded evidence of good convergent and discriminant validity when correlated with external criteria. Indeed, MMPI-3 scale scores accounted for 2%-15% of incremental variance in data obtained via the clinical interview and medical chart, once other self-report measures were accounted for. Overall, many of the MMPI-3 scale scores used in spine surgery evaluations appear to be reliable and valid. Public Significance StatementMany behavioral health specialists use psychological testing as part of their presurgical psychological evaluation. These data suggest that a new version of the MMPI, the MMPI-3, provides reliable and valid scale scores that can be considered as part of a presurgical evaluation of patients seeking spine surgery.

Objective: The current study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of group counseling on quality of life and symptom severity among university students with Premenstrual Syndrome. Method: After filling in PSST and participating in SCID-CV, 120 students answered the demographic and WHOQOL questionnaires. Using classified random sampling, they were divided into control and intervention groups. The Intervention Group participants attended six group counseling sessions. They post-tested at two moments (immediate post-test and after one month). Results: The results of the immediate post-test indicated improvements in overall quality and in some domains (p<0.005) in the Intervention Group, and the second post-test showed an improvement in two of the domains (p<0.005). One month later, some symptoms were clearly improved in the Intervention Group (p<0.005). Conclusion: Group counseling improved the students' quality of life and severity of the Premenstrual Syndrome symptoms.
