Tipo de Trabajo Académico: Trabajo Fin de Grado
Notas: The main objective of this undergraduate thesis is to create the "Servet Zaragoza Hallucinations Scale" (SZHS), a tool that allows for a precise analysis of hallucinations and their different types. This scale aims to facilitate the study of this complex psychopathological phenomenon, as well as clinical interviews with patients and diagnostic approaches. Hallucinations, present in various sensory modalities such as auditory, visual, gustatory, olfactory, and tactile, pose difficulties in their study within current clinical practice. Therefore, it was considered necessary to develop a scale that encompasses the entire range of phenomena described in clinical settings and surpasses the limitations of existing scales in the scientific literature. To carry out this research, a sample of 20 patients admitted to the Acute Psychiatry Unit of Miguel Servet University Hospital in Zaragoza, under the supervision of Dr. Día, was selected. The study focused on a detailed and descriptive analysis of hallucinations in this group of patients. The results obtained support the hypotheses regarding the phenomenological complexity of hallucinations. It is considered that a competent, useful, simple, and reproducible scale has been developed, which can be effectively applied in future research and clinical practice. In conclusion, this undergraduate thesis focuses on the creation and application of the "Servet Zaragoza Hallucinations Scale" with the aim of improving the analysis and understanding of hallucinations. This scale provides a precise and practical tool for the clinical evaluation of this complex psychopathological phenomenon.
