Lyhyt kuvaus:
The aim of the current study was to evaluate the usefulness of the PARADISE24 instrument for studying the scope and severity of psychosocial difficulties by comparing the results with other measures in the context of substance use disorders.
This cross-sectional study included two independent inpatient samples. The first sample consisted of 80 interviews including the PARADISE24 and 10 other measures. The second sample consisted of the responses of 1082 inpatients to a self-administered PARADISE24 questionnaire.
Inpatients with substance use disorders had experienced a wide range of psychosocial difficulties and the two samples produced similar results. Highest scores were observed for emotional difficulties. The PARADISE24 showed convergent validity with measures of disability and depressive symptoms and discriminant validity with personality traits and environmental factors (i.e., social support and caretaker’s empathy). Psychosocial difficulties were inversely associated with quality of life and self-assessed health.
