The validity of the 21-item version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales as a routine clinical outcome measure
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to test the validity of the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) as a routine clinical outcome measure in the private in-patient setting. We hypothesized that it would be a suitable routine outcome instrument in this setting. METHOD: All in-patients treated at a private psychiatric hospital over a period of 24 months were included in the study. Data were collected on demographics, service utilization, dia…

A Study of the Quality of Life of the Severely Mentally Ill
As part of a larger study, the Lehman Quality of Life Interview (QOLI) was conducted a total of 85 times with 55 clients with serious mental illness. Results revealed widespread adverse objective circumstances (unemployment, poverty and social isolation) despite which most clients rated their satisfaction levels about average (about equally satisfied and dissatisfied). As expected, subjective quality of life indicators were generally better predi…
Issues in Drug Administration in a Psychiatric Rehabilitation Unit
The aim of the investigation was to study medication-taking using dosetts by inpatients in a 25-bed rehabilitation assessment ward. Data were obtained on 39 predominantly schizophrenic patients over a three month period during which there were nearly 3,000 separate occasions when tablets were required to be taken. Recorded problems included: needing a reminder, requiring personal individual dispensing, refusal to take medication, taking from the …
The current status of the therapeutic community
Correlates of patient participation in the large group meetings of a therapeutic community
In view of the importance of verbal communication in community meetings, an attempt was made to identify the characteristics of patients with differing average levels of communication. Paper‐and‐pencil recordings of 117 consecutive community meetings in a psychiatric unit run along therapeutic community lines yielded average communication scores on 237 patients. Scores were unrelated to sex, age, social class, length of stay, in‐patient or day‐pa…
The relationship between large group meetings and patients' estimates of ward tension
Attitudes of psychiatric patients to staff roles and treatment methods
A questionnaire dealing with attitudes toward staff roles and treatment methods was administered to a group of 191 psychiatric patients and their responses subjected to a rotated principal components analysis. The first three components accounted for the same proportion of the overall variance as did those obtained in an earlier study. The first components, emphasizing high regard for physical treatments and formal interpersonal relationships, we…
