Subjective Health Complaints were assessed within the intensive protocol (IP) in two ways:
First, in the questionnaire "Beschwerden - Behandlung - Arzneimittel" ("Complaints - Treatment - Medication"), which was developed by the BASE psychiatry unit: After a few standardized opening questions according to their general state, participants were asked to list (1) subjective health complaints they had had during the past two weeks, (2) which physicians or other persons they had consulted for (medical) treatment during the past three months (see health behavior), and (3) which medication they had used during the past two weeks (see medication). For each complaint mentioned a number of standardized questions was asked. Formulated answers were coded. The procedure ended with two general questions.
Second, subjective health complaints were assessed within the
questionnaire "Skalen zur Selbstbeurteilung" ("Self-rating scales")
by using the Complaint List (von
Zerssen, 1976; see Literature),
a self-rating scale which asks about the presence of 24 unspecific
symptomatic symptoms. Participants were asked to rate how much they
suffer from each complaint on a 4-point Likert scale (0 = not at
all, 3 = strongly).
For each complaint mentioned by a participant in the Complaint List,
psychiatrists judged with internists in the consensus conference how
likely an internistic explanation for the symptom was (1 =
internistic explanation not very probable; 2 = possible, 3 =
certain).
