Title: | The Clinical Interview Schedule - Revised (CIS-R): Malay Version, Clinical Validation | Contributor(s): | Subramaniam, Kavitha (author); Krishnaswamy, Saroja (author); Aziz Jemain, Abdul (author); Hamid, Abdul (author); Patel, Vikram (author) | Publication Date: | 2006 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/9365 | Abstract: | Use of instruments or questionnaires in different cultural settings without proper validation can result in inaccurate results. Issues like reliability, validity, feasibility and acceptability should be considered in the use of an instrument. The study aims to determine the usefulness of the CIS-R Malay version in detecting common mental health problems specifically to establish the validity. The CIS-R instrument (PROQSY* format) was translated through the back translation process into Malay. Inter rater reliability was established for raters who were medical students. Cases and controls for the study were psychiatric in patients, out patient and relatives or friends accompanying the patients to the clinic or visiting the inpatients. The Malay version of CIS-R was administered to all cases and controls. All cases and controls involved in the study were rated by psychiatrists for psychiatric morbidity using the SCID as a guideline. Specificity and sensitivity of the CIS-R to the assessment by the psychiatrist were determined. The Malay version of CIS-R showed 100% sensitivity and 96.15% specificity at a cut off score of 9. The CIS-R can be a useful instrument for clinical and research use in the Malaysian population for diagnosing common mental disorders like depression and anxiety. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Malaysian Journal of Medical Sciences, 13(1), p. 58-62 | Publisher: | Universiti Sains Malaysia Health Campus | Place of Publication: | Malaysia | ISSN: | 2180-4303 1394-195X |
