UCSD基于表现的技能评估（UPSA）是一种广泛使用的功能能力测量方法，具有很强的信度和效度。然而，缺乏西班牙裔的心理测量数据。本研究的目的是确定文化适应和教育对62名西班牙裔精神分裂症或情感障碍患者和46名健康对照者的UPSA表现的影响。使用UPSA测量功能能力。文化适应使用墨西哥裔美国人文化适应评定量表（ARSMA）进行测量。独立检验表明，精神分裂症患者的UPSA总分显著低于对照组，所有UPSA分量表的得分也低于对照组。多元回归分析亦显示文化程度与文化适应是UPSA总分的显著预测因子。这些数据提供了一个更好的理解UPSA评分在西班牙裔和没有精神分裂症，并建议，教育和文化适应调整可能需要改善测试结果的解释。
The UCSD Performance-based Skills Assessment (UPSA) is a widely used measure of functional capacity with strong reliability and validity. However there is a lack of psychometric data on Hispanics. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of acculturation and education on UPSA performance among 62 Hispanic participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and 46 healthy comparison subjects. Functional capacity was measured using the UPSA. Acculturation was measured using the Acculturation Rating Scale for Mexican Americans (ARSMA). Independentt-tests indicated that participants with schizophrenia had significantly lower UPSA total scores and scored lower on all UPSA sub-scales relative to the comparison group. Multiple regression also indicated that education and acculturation were significant predictors of UPSA total scores. These data provide a better understanding of UPSA scores in Hispanics with and without schizophrenia, and suggest that education and acculturation adjustments may be required to improve interpretation of test results.
