title: [The Four-Dimensional Symptom Questionnaire (4DSQ) to assess distress, depression, anxiety and somatization in autonomic and borderline psychosomatic disorders].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Autonomic nervous system disorders are a frequent reason that makes patients to seek medical advice from general physicians and neurologists in outpatient clinics. The Dutch Four-Dimensional Symptoms Questionnaire (4DSQ) used for measuring distress, depression, anxiety and somatization is an adequate tool for identifying psychogenic factors for the development of autonomic disorders. An aim of the study was to localize the questionnaire to the Russian population.
  
  
  METHODS
  The questionnaire was translated and the Russian version was subsequently psychometrically validated. The statistical analysis conducted for the verification of compatibility of the Russian version with the Dutch version was based on the survey of 243 patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  All elements of the Russian version measured the same parameters of the Dutch 4DSQ. Some differences were identified.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The analysis has confirmed the possibility of using the questionnaire in the Russian-speaking population using higher threshold values: +2 points for distress and anxiety, +4 points for somatization.
