摘要: Background: Measuring cognition in clinical
practice is clearly essential to the appropriate characterisation of patients’
clinical status and to the development of a personalised care plan. The Screen
for Cognitive Impairment in Psychiatry (SCIP) has been developed in order to
provide a brief and accessible tool allowing the evaluation of cognitive
function in psychiatric conditions. Objective: We present a validation
of a French version of the SCIP. Method:
Translation from English into French is carried out using the accepted
back-translation method. Seventy-two healthy volunteers are characterised by
demographic questionnaires and a neuropsychological battery. The French version
of the SCIP is then administered on two separate occasions separated by at
least a one-week interval. Results:
High internal consistencies as well as strong correlations with comparable
neuropsychological tests are obtained. A normalised Cronbach’s α = 0.66 is obtained. Conclusions: The French version
of the SCIP (SCIP-F) yields results comparable to the English version. The SCIP
represents an essential tool for the preliminary evaluation of cognition. Its
characteristics, brevity and the lack of need for a technological platform,
allow for its integration into clinical practice. Further testing of SCIP-F in
various psychiatric conditions will yield valuable information on its potential
in clinical settings.
