The Participation Rate Of Injury Factors Involved In Mental Injury In Forensic Psychiatric Evaluation

Background and Objective: In the evaluation of forensic psychiatry, the experts frequently need to assess the participation rate in injury events which the victims suffered. Participation rate of hurting factors (PRHF) reflects the degree of being hurt to victims, and the responsible party should bear the responsibility of the quantitative indicators for the outcome of the injury. PRHF is urgently needed in court based on evidence. There are no useful and practicable quantitative tools that can reflect the objective harm incident participation size so far. Participation in the existing assessment of mental impairment as a hierarchical multi-evaluation, that lack of specific individual direction and difficult to accurately reflect the different mental injury caused by different outcomes. In this study, we developed the PRHF assessment scale, let it more suitable for the current assessment requirements basis of the existing, and we also scale the reliability and validity of it.Methods: Select cases which having mental injury factors of participation rate assess needs in Shenzhen Kangning hospital 2000-2010, including 203 patients 118 cases of male and 85 cases of women. According to the relevant content identification case reports of controlled damage factor rating scale marking spiritual damage assessment of damage factors participation. We evaluate the case reports and files according to PRHF assessment scale's mental injury scoring rules.Results: Reliability: Interval a month, the retest coefficient correlated well with the assessment of forensic experts, with the related coefficient between 0.746 and 0.989, full scale to measure the heavy reliability for 0.970, and the coefficient among three raters between 0.901 and 0.996, shows that scale has good consistency and stability; Validity: 1.PRHF scale and expert rating overall accuracy is 86.7%. 2. PRHF and diseases: Organic mental disorders tend to have more factors of participation rate; the endogenous mental disorders tend to have the factors involved in the smaller.Conclusion: 1. Assessment method is reliable. Scale in accordance with the rule of evolution of mental illness to develop assessment items, including the impact of factors before the injury event, in and after which the victims may be suffered, reflecting the more comprehensive entire process of the outcome from injury to impairment ending. 2. PRHF assessment scale for participation and Validity meet psychometric requirements; can be used for forensic mental injury on quantitative assessment of damage factors...
