The current research aimed to identify areas of recovery specific to Group Analytic Psychotherapy (GAT) to facilitate the development of a suitable patient reported outcome measure (PROM) for this therapeutic modality. Two focus groups comprising respectively of four group analytic therapists or four service users were asked about components of recovery that they felt were specific to receiving GAT. Thematic Analysis (as described by Braun and Clarke, 2006) was employed to explore their views. Three overarching themes emerged from these groups: improvement in intrapsychic and interpsychic relationships; improvement in quality of life; improvement in functionality and symptom reduction. A conceptual model emerged with regards to how those themes could inform the development on a GAT specific patient reported outcome measure.

Objective.There is currently no universally accepted measure of quality of life in ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Our objective was to develop and evaluate a patient-reported outcome measure of quality of life in AS, EASi-QoL.Methods.We used patient interviews, a literature review, and completion of an individualized measure of AS quality of life during clinic-based and pilot surveys to derive questionnaire content. Classical and modern psychometrics were then used to evaluate the questionnaire using data from a large UK-based postal survey of 1000 patients with AS.Results.Data analysis from the interviews and clinic-based and postal surveys produced a 57-item self-completed questionnaire. Fifteen items were removed as a result of patient interviews and the pilot survey. In total, 612 (64.0%) patients responded to the main postal survey. After assessment of data quality, confirmatory factor analysis, and Rasch analysis, 20 items were found to contribute to 4 domains of AS-related quality of life: physical function, disease activity, emotional well-being, and social participation. Item-total correlations ranged from 0.66 to 0.84. Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability estimates were 0.88–0.92 and 0.88–0.93, respectively. Confirmed hypothesized correlations with the AS Quality of Life questionnaire, the Bath AS Disease Activity Index, Bath AS Functional Index, SF-36, EQ-5D, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were evidence for the construct validity of the EASi-QoL.Conclusion.The EASi-QoL has good evidence of data quality, internal reliability, test-retest reliability, and content and construct validity, and should be considered for use with patients in routine practice settings and in evaluative studies including clinical trials. Measurement responsiveness and minimal important change are currently being assessed.

Abstract Purpose The RAND-36 is the most frequently used patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) to evaluate health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in bariatric surgery. However, the RAND-36 has never been adequately validated in bariatric surgery. The purpose of this study was to validate the RAND-36 in Dutch patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Material and Methods To validate the RAND-36, the following measurement properties were assessed in bariatric surgery patients: validity (the degree to which the RAND-36 measures what it purports to measure (HRQoL)), reliability (the extent to which the scores of the RAND-36 are the same for repeated measurement for patients who have not changed in HRQoL), responsiveness (the ability of the RAND-36 to detect changes in HRQoL over time). Results Two thousand one hundred thirty-seven patients were included. Validity was not adequate due to the irrelevance of some items and response options, the lack of items relevant to patients undergoing bariatric surgery, and the RAND-36 did not actually measure what it was intended to measure in this study (HRQoL in bariatric surgery patients). Reliability was insufficient for the majority of the scales (the scores of patients who had not changed in HRQoL were different when the RAND was completed a second time (intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) values 0.10–0.69)). Responsiveness was insufficient. Conclusion The RAND-36 was not supported by sufficient validation evidence in patients undergoing bariatric surgery, which means that the RAND-36 does not adequately measure HRQoL in this patient population. Future research studies should use PROMs that are specifically designed for assessing HRQoL in patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Graphical abstract
