The Swedish version of the Motivation and Pleasure Scale self-report (MAP-SR): psychometric properties in patients with schizophrenia or depression
CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that the Swedish version of the MAP-SR shows promise as a useful measure of motivation and pleasure, especially in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Furthermore, results also suggest that the MAP-SR does not assess negative symptoms specifically, but that there is an overlap between depressive and negative symptoms.PMID:38436927 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2324060 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

The relationship between the Hopkins symptom checklist-10 and diagnoses of anxiety and depression among inpatients with substance use disorders
CONCLUSION: In a real-world clinical setting, the HSCL-10 has fair-to-good clinical utility for identifying SUD inpatients who have comorbid clinical symptoms of anxiety disorders or PTSD, when combined with common background variables. The HSCL-10, a brief self-report screening tool, may serve as an efficient proxy for comprehensive interviews used in research and for clinical anxiety symptom screening among patients with SUD.PMID:38421343 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2323124 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Psychometric properties and normative data of the Latvian and Russian language versions of the strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) in the Latvian general adolescent population
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that the self-report SDQ must be used cautiously in Latvian adolescents because some SDQ subscales lack reliability. When used in population research, the internalising subscales seem more reliable than the externalising ones. More research is needed regarding the reliability of the SDQ in clinical adolescent populations.PMID:38421351 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2319662 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Video consultation and treatment in the community smoking cessation therapy success rates in patients with mental illness: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: The smoking cessation rate was high. One of the reasons for the high cessation rate was that the intervention was carried out by highly experienced and professionally qualified staff. In addition, we used free nicotine patches to increase the patients' motivation to quit smoking. It is very important that we introduce these results into our clinical work with the patients.PMID:38385357 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2318305 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)

Sexual harassment and patterns of symptoms and functional abilities in a psychiatric sample of adolescents
CONCLUSIONS: About 60% of the adolescents in the studied psychiatric cohort reported having been subjected to sexual harassment. Reported experiences were high in all three subtypes, with the most reports on having been subjected to verbal harassment. Clinicians should ask about experiences of sexual harassment and give information about the consequences of sexual violence and treatment options. Alcohol consumption should be addressed and tested for. Structured assessment of suicidality should always be done.PMID:38385440 | DOI:10.1080/08039488.2024.2318732 (Source: Nordic Journal of Psychiatry)
