Adaptation and the Psychometric Properties of Turkish version of the Structured Clinical Interview for the DSM-5-Personality Disorders - Clinician Version (SCID-5-PD/CV).

Abstract

The aim of this study is to demonstrate the validity and reliability of the Categorical and Dimensional Psychometric Properties of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Personality Disorders (SCID-5-PD) after its translation to the Turkish. The study was carried out with 102 volunteers from two university hospitals. The SCID interview was conducted by two experienced psychiatrists who interchanged positions as interviewer and observer; and completed the research forms without discussing the patient. The diagnostic agreement between the interviewers and the Kappa coefficient were calculated. Divergent and convergent validity analyses were carried out for diagnostic validity and the scores obtained from the self-report form as well as the dimensional evaluation scores were used in the statistical analyses. The group mean age for volunteers was 39.6±11.6 years and 66.7% consisted of females. The Kappa values for personality categories were 0.79 for avoidant personality structure, 0.64 for dependent personality structure, 0.81 for obsessive-compulsive personality structure, 0.76 for paranoid personality structure, 0.49 for schizotypal personality structure, 0.90 for histrionic personality structure, 0.66 for narcissistic personality structure, 0.89 for borderline personality structure and 0.71 for antisocial personality structure. Dimensional evaluation showed significant correlation with the diagnostic agreement between the interviewers and also with the scores of the self-report forms completed by the participants. The results demosntrated that the Turkish version of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-5 Personality Disorders (SCID- 5-PD-CV-TR) is valid and reliable.
