JOURNAL OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY IN MEDICAL SETTINGS(2023)
摘要
This study assessed feasibility and psychometric properties of the Hebrew parent version of the Pediatric Symptom Checklist (PSC-17), aiming to improve treatment access for children and adolescents with behavioral and mental needs through early screening. The PSC-17 and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) were filled in the waiting room, at three ambulatory clinics in a tertiary pediatric center, by 274 parents using a tablet or their cellphone. Demographic and clinical data were retrieved from patients' files. PSC results were compared to SDQ results and assessed vis-a-vis a psychiatric diagnosis, determined previously and independently by trained pediatric psychiatrists for 78 pediatric patients who attended these clinics. Construct and discriminant validity of the PSC-17 Hebrew version were good. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values are presented. The PSC-17 (Hebrew version) was found to be a feasible tool for mental health screening at pediatric ambulatory care clinics.
