Diagnostic Efficiency of Personality Disorder Screening Tool ; The Korean Version of Self-Report Standardized Assessment of Personality-Abbreviated Scale : Preliminary Validation Study

ObjectivesZZThe aims of this study were to evaluate acceptability and usefulness of the Korean version of Self-report Standardized Assessment of Personality-Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS-SR) as an instrument for screening patients with a personality disorder. MethodsZZThe Korean version of the SAPAS-SR was administered to a non-random sample of 186 psychiatric patients (155 patients with a personality disorder and 31 patients with no personality disorder). The International Classification of Diseases 10th version Personality Assessment Schedule was used as a gold standard in diagnosis of personality disorder. Receiver-operant-characteristics and validity indicators were determined. In addition, the SAPAS-SR was administered to 22 healthy men to examine the test-retest reliability. ResultsZZThe area under the curve for the SAPAS-SR was 0.69 (95% confidence interval 0.59–0.79). The SAPAS-SR score of 4 or more correctly classified 67.2% of patients with a personality disorder. Sensitivity (0.67) and specificity (0.68) were slightly lower compared with the original English version. ConclusionZZThis study provides preliminary evidence of the usefulness of the Korean version of the SAPAS-SR as a self-administered instrument for screening personality disorders in the clinical population
