BSIP
Basel Screening Instrument für Psychosen
Short abstract
The BSIP is to be used for the early detection of incipient psychoses or a risk status for the development of a psychosis in clinical routine. The BSIP is a checklist with instructions for a semi-structured clinical interview. The items include the seven areas (1) risk age, (2) psychopathology, (3) lifeline kink, (4) drug abuse, (5) past psychiatric illness and abnormalities, (6) genetic distress, (7) assignment with suspected psychosis. Based on the results of the BSIP, the patient can be assigned to one of the following four groups: (a) psychosis risk, (b) primary psychotic disease, (c) pre-existing treated psychosis, (d) neither psychosis nor psychosis risk. Reliability: No data available. Validity: The validity of the BSIP was verified in the FEPSY study on the basis of the subjects included in the study for the first three years. Of the N = 206 subjects included, 47 % were classified as at risk, 37 % were clearly psychotic, and 16% had no psychotic risk. The persons at risk identified by the BSIP were similar in many respects to the first-time sufferers (compliance validity). Of n = 50 risk persons identified by the BSIP, n = 16 (32 %) developed a full picture psychosis according to the criteria of Yung et al. (1998; predictive validity) during a mean observation period of 33 months.
