About

Memory in Psychiatry project (PAPSY) aims to map the distribution and severity of cognitive impairment in patients of outpatient psychiatric offices across the geographical area of the Czech Republic. 1000 patients in 90 psychiatric offices will undergo cognitive tests (ALBA and PICNIR) and psychometric scales (sFAQ-CZ and GDS-CZ) to asses their functional state and depressive symptoms. If applicable, caretakers will also be asked about the extent of the participant's autonomy and behavioral impairment (using oFAQ-CZ and MBI-C-CZ scales).

The trial's primary goal is to assess the distribution of cognitive impairment among diagnostic groups in psychiatric care according to the ICD-10. Additionally, the feasibility of ALBA and PICNIR methods to uncover previously undiagnosed cognitive impairments will be evaluated.
