Abstrakt: Aims: The study aims are to present the Italian adaptation of the Abbreviated Clinical Structured Interview for DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (Mini-SIPS) and illustrate its implementation in a clinical setting.
Methods: The Mini-SIPS was developed from the original extended version as a tool designed to identify, within the clinical high risk (CHR) framework, the DSM-5 Attenuated Psychosis Syndrome (APS) and to be implemented in clinical settings. The Mini-SIPS was translated in Italian by a Yale-certified SIPS trainer, then back-translated in English by a trained psychologist, then approved by the Mini-SIPS authors. Since September 2021, the adapted Italian version of the Mini-SIPS has been implemented at the First Episode Psychosis (FEP) Program in Ferrara, Italy.
Results: The Italian version of Mini-SIPS was successfully administered to 15 individuals subsequently referred to the First Episode Psychosis service in Ferrara. Within this sample, the tool has proven to be both an effective and efficient tool for the identification of CHR and FEP, and a valid instrument to help with the differential diagnosis. It also performed as a valuable guide for retrieving information about psychiatric history, to date the onset of APS and/or full-blown psychosis, to track the progression from CHR to psychosis or to symptoms resolution and to describe patients' pathways to care.
Conclusion: The Mini-SIPS is an efficient and easy-to-use interview to identify the early stages of psychosis and established psychosis in clinical contexts. The Italian adaptation of this interview could be effectively implemented in other Italian FEP Programs as a screening and monitoring tool. Formal validation of the instrument is needed to assessed validity and reliability in the diagnosis of the CHR and FEP.
