Abstract

Background. On the basis of the statements of the questionnaire of neurotic disorders within the framework of the Rush model, which is a kind of modern test theory, 13 scales with proven psychometric properties were formed. This article evaluates the clinical effectiveness of four of them. Purpose of the study. To carry out clinical validation of scales of expansiveness, restrictive control, correction and phobic fears of the modified version of the neurotic disorders questionnaire. Material and methods. A total of 296 people were examined, among them 167 women and 129 men. Statistical methods of research included factor analysis of standardized residuals, ROC-analysis, and correlation analysis. Results. The scales under study have a homogeneous structure. With the help of ROC-analysis, moderate differentiating properties of the scales were revealed, and cutoff values were calculated, which were the criteria for interpretation. Correlation analysis of the total indicator revealed statistically significant correlations between the studied scales and the MMPI scores, the QIDS-SR16 questionnaire and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HADS). Conclusions. The scales of expansiveness, restrictive control, correction and phobic fears of the modified version of the neurotic disorders questionnaire are clinically valid and can be used to solve various practical problems.
