Zusammenfassung
Zum klinischen Bild der Katatonie gehören neben eindrucksvollen motorischen Phänomenen wie Rigidität, Dyskinesien, Festination, Gegenhalten, Posieren, Katalepsie, Stereotypien und Manierismen auch affektive Symptome (Aggression, Angst, Affektverflachung, emotionale Labilität etc.) und Störungen des Verhaltens (Mutismus, Autismus, Mitgehen, Echolalie/Eochpraxie etc.). Obwohl im angloamerikanischen Raum insgesamt sieben Skalen zur Erfassung katatoner Symptome für den klinischen und wissenschaftlichen Gebrauch zur Verfügung stehen, existiert im deutschsprachigen Raum lediglich ein validiertes Messinstrument. In dieser Arbeit wird erstmals die deutsche Version der Northoff Catatonia Rating Scale (NCRS-dv) vorgestellt. Die englische Originalversion der Skala (NCRS) erfasst in 40 Items motorische (13 Items), affektive (12 Items) und verhaltensassoziierte (15 Items) katatone Symptome. Die NCRS zeigt sowohl eine hohe interne Konsistenz (Cronbachs α = 0,87) als auch eine hohe Interrater- (r = 0,80–0,96) und Intrarater- (r = 0,80–0,95) Reliabilität. Die Faktorenanalyse der NCRS identifizierte vier Domänen: Affektivität, Hyperaktivität, Hypoaktivität und Verhalten. Die einzelnen Eigenwerte betrugen 8,39, 3,61, 2,98 und 2,82. Diese Werte erklärten 21,5, 9,3, 7,6 und 7,2 % der Varianz. Zusammenfassend stellt die hier vorgelegte NCRS-dv nach Northoff ein zweites Messinstrument im deutschsprachigen Raum zur Erfassung katatoner Symptome dar.
Abstract
The clinical picture of catatonia includes impressive motor phenomena, such as rigidity, dyskinesia, festination, negativism, posturing, catalepsy, stereotypies and mannerisms, along with affective (e. g. aggression, anxiety, anhedonism or emotional lability) and behavioral symptoms (e.g. mutism, autism, excitement, echolalia or echopraxia). In English speaking countries seven catatonia rating scales have been introduced, which are widely used in clinical and scientific practice. In contrast, only one validated catatonia rating scale is available in Germany so far. In this paper, we introduce the German version of the Northoff catatonia rating scale (NCRS-dv). The original English version of the NCRS consists of 40 items describing motor (13 items), affective (12 items) and behavioral (15 items) catatonic symptoms. The NCRS shows high internal reliability (Crombachs alpha = 0.87), high interrater (r = 0.80–0.96) and high intrarater (r = 0.80–0.95) reliability. Factor analysis of the NCRS revealed four domains: affective, hyperactive or excited, hypoactive or retarded and behavior with individual eigenvalues of 8.98, 3.61, 2.98 and 2.82, respectively, which explained 21.5 %, 9.3 %, 7.6 % and 7.2 % of variance, respectively. In conclusion, the NCRS-dv represents a second validated instrument which can be used by German clinicians and scientists for the assessment of catatonic symptoms.
