Abstract
Introduction

The aim of this study was to validate the Spanish version of the Strauss and Carpenter Prognostic Scale for Schizophrenia (Strauss and Carpenter, 1977).

Method

We performed a multicenter, longitudinal, descriptive study. Forward and backtranslation of the original scale was performed. The sample was composed of persons diagnosed with schizophrenia aged between 18 and 65 years. We calculated interrater reliability, construct validity according to the Global Assessment Scale (GAS), Satisfaction with Life Domains Scale (SLDS), the Global Clinical Impression-Schizophrenia (GCI) scale, The World Health. Organization Short Disability Assessment Schedule (WHO-DAS) and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), and predictive validity at the 1-year follow-up using three criterion measures of the GCI, WHO-DAS and GAS scales.

Results

The internal consistency coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) was 0.70. The intraclass correlation coefficient ranged from 0.54 to 0.99, except for item 5 (resources for the current treatment), which was –0.13. The correlation between the distinct scales (measuring construct validity) was significant, with a p-value of < 0.01, except for the SLDS, which showed a higher p-value (p<0.05). The Strauss-Carpenter score correlated with all three scores at 1 year (GCI, GAS and WHO-DAS) with an alpha of less than 0.01, showing good predictive validity.

Conclusions

The Spanish adaptation of the Strauss and Carpenter prognostic scale is reliable and valid and allows a more severe disease course to be predicted.

Resumen
Introducción

El objetivo del estudio fue adaptar y validar en castellano la Escala Pronóstica para la Esquizofrenia de Strauss y Carpenter (Strauss y Carpenter, 1977).

Método

Se trata de un estudio multicéntrico, longitudinal y descriptivo. Se realizó una traducción y una retrotraducción de la escala. La muestra se compuso de sujetos de 18–65 años diagnosticados de esquizofrenia. Se calculó la fiabilidad entre evaluadores, la validez de constructo con las escalas EEAG, SLDS, ICG, WHO-DAS y PANSS, y la validez predictiva respecto a 3 variables criterio al año medidas con las escalas ICG, EEAG y WHO-DAS.

Resultados

El coeficiente de consistencia interna (alfa de Cronbach) fue 0,70. El coeficiente de correlación intraclase osciló entre 0,54 y 0,99, excepto en el ítem 5 (Recursos para el tratamiento utilizados actualmente), que fue −0,13. Respecto a la validez de constructo, la correlación fue significativa entre las diferentes escalas, con una p<0,01, excepto con la escala SLDS, donde la correlación fue igualmente significativa, pero con un valor mayor (p<0,05). Respecto a la validez predictiva, la puntuación total de la Strauss-Carpenter correlaciona con un alfa < 0,01 con las tres puntuaciones criterio al año (ICG, EEAG y WHO-DAS).

Conclusiones

La adaptación española de la escala pronóstica de esquizofrenia de Strauss-Carpenter es fiable, válida y permite predecir un curso deteriorado de la enfermedad.
