Validity and reliability of the Polish version of the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS)

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: This study presents the results of a training course on using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for the assessment of mental status. The agreements between ratings produced by 418 physicians (psychiatrists) were evaluated and compared with standard ratings. In this way it was possible to supplement some of the listed symptoms with comments, which may help to increase agreement between results obtained through raters' assessments and standard ratings.
