ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the prevalence of personality disorders in patients admitted to the psychiatric wards of the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI).

METHOD:

Patients (n = 100) sequentially admitted to the psychiatric wards of the UHWI were assessed for personality disorder using the gold standard of a consultant assessment using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition, text revision (DSM IV-TR) diagnostic criteria for personality disorder, the International Personality Disorder Examination Screening questionnaire (IPDE-S), and the Jamaica Personality Disorder Inventory (JPDI).

RESULTS:

The three assessment instruments identified a prevalence of personality disorder in the cohort of patients of 51% consultant DSM-IV-TR assessment, 57% JPDI and 86% IPDE-S. The prevalence rate identified by the IPDE-S was significantly higher that the local instruments used (p < 0.000).

CONCLUSIONS:

The prevalence of personality disorder assessed by the JPDI and the consultant DSM IVTR instruments in Jamaica is comparable to the prevalence rate of studies in other countries in a similar population.
RESUMEN

Determinar la prevalencia de los trastornos de la personalidad en pacientes ingresados en las salas de psiquiatría del Hospital Universitario de West Indies (HUWI).

MÉTODO:

Los tres instrumentos de evaluación identificaron una prevalencia de trastornos de personalidad en la cohorte de pacientes como sigue 51% en la evaluación del consultante del DSMIV- TR, 57% en el JPDI, y 86% en el IPDE-S. La tasa de prevalencia identificada por el IPDE-S fue significativamente mayor que la de los instrumentos locales (p < 0.000).
