Psychometric Properties of the MOLDES Questionnaire in a Clinical Sample of Patients With Psychotic Spectrum Disorders.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPsychotic spectrum disorders are associated with persistent impairments in psychosocial functioning that are not fully explained by symptom severity, particularly in individuals with chronic courses and prolonged hospitalization. Beyond psychopathological symptoms, relatively stable cognitive-emotional styles may influence long-term adaptation, subjective recovery, and quality of life in severe mental disorders. To examine the psychometric properties of the MOLDES questionnaire in a clinical sample of patients with psychotic spectrum disorders receiving long-term psychiatric care.
methodsA cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a sample of 83 clinically stable male patients with psychotic spectrum disorders hospitalized in a long-term psychiatric care unit. Internal consistency of the global MOLDES score and its three dimensions (Vital Spontaneity, Adjustment, and Optimization) was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Convergent and discriminant validity were explored through Spearman's correlations with psychotic symptom severity, depressive symptoms, internalized stigma, and quality of life.
resultsThe global MOLDES score and its dimensions showed acceptable internal consistency, with Cronbach's alpha values ranging from 0.70 to 0.77. No significant associations were observed between MOLDES dimensions and psychotic or depressive symptom severity, supporting discriminant validity. In contrast, Vital Spontaneity and Adjustment were negatively correlated with internalized stigma, while the Optimization dimension showed a positive association with quality of life.
conclusionsThese findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the reliability and validity of the MOLDES questionnaire in patients with chronic psychotic disorders. The instrument appears to capture adaptive cognitive-emotional styles that are largely independent of symptom severity and meaningfully related to relevant psychosocial outcomes, suggesting its potential usefulness as a complementary assessment tool in long-term psychiatric care and rehabilitation-oriented settings.
