Spanish Versions of the Outcome Rating Scale and the Session Rating Scale: Normative Data, Reliability, and Validity

Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) uses standardized measures to both track and inform mental health service delivery. Use of ROM has been shown to improve the outcome of psychotherapy when applied to different types of patients. The present research was designed to determine the reliability and validity of the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and the Session Rating Scale (SRS) in a sample of Spanish patients. After a controlled process of translation into the Spanish that is spoken and written in Spain (i.e., in Europe, as distinct from, e.g., Latin American Spanish), both measures were completed by patients of an outpatient mental health unit during eight sessions of psychotherapy. Sixty mental health patients filled out the ORS and 59 the SRS. In addition, the ORS was completed by 33 people who constituted the non-clinical sample. The cut-off of the ORS was 24.52 points, and the Reliable Change Index (RCI) was 9.15 points. ORS and SRS scores exhibited excellent internal consistency. The temporal stability of the SRS was adequate. The convergent and discriminant validity of the two measures were adequate. Regarding the factorial validity of the ORS and the SRS, in the third psychotherapy session, confirmatory factor analyses evidenced the existence of a unifactorial model. The predictive validity of SRS was acceptable. The ORS was sensitive to changes in patients’ symptoms. In conclusion, compared to the original English versions of the ORS and SRS measures, the Spanish versions of the measures are also reliable and valid.

Outcome Rating Scale

French Validation of two brief Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) scales from the PCOMS system : the ORS (Outcome Rating Scale, Miller et al., 2005) designed to assess various dimensions of well-being and progression during care, and the SRS (Session Rating Scale 3.0; Miller et al., 2002) designed to assess dimensions of the therapeutic relationship. The research implied clinical and non clinical populations and brings estimates regarding factorial structure, validity, reliability, preliminary index and norms of the two scales in French.

The Impact

This paper describes three studies of the reliability and validity of a newly revised version of the Purdue Posttraumatic Stress Disorder scale (PPTSD-R). The PPTSD-R is a 17-item questionnaire that yields four scores: Reexperiencing, Avoidance, Arousal, and Total. It is highly internally consistent (α = .91), and the scores are relatively stable across time. The PPTSD-R is highly correlated with other measures of PTSD symptomatology and moderately correlated with measures of related psychopathology, providing preliminary support for the measure's convergent and discriminant validity. It reliably distinguishes between groups of people who were and were not traumatized, it is sensitive to the impact of different types of traumatic events, and (within a clinical sample) it discriminates between those who did and did not seek treatment for difficulty coping with the traumatic event being assessed. The PPTSD-R shows promise as a measure of PTSD symptoms in the college population.

This article describes the implementation and evaluation of a single-session therapy (SST) pilot project in a youth community-based mental health clinic. The intent was to improve access to therapy services in order to reduce wait times, support youth's and their caregivers’ functioning, relieve immediate distress and connect youth to resources while waiting for ongoing therapy. Wait times were reduced by 90 days when SST was implemented following intake. Caregivers reported clinically significant improvement in adolescent well-being at one-month follow-up using the Outcome Rating Scale. Clinicians embraced the implementation of SST as a complementary service to multisession therapy in the clinic setting.

The Relationship

IntroductionResearch into the relationship between the subjective perception of clinical change and the objective evidence of the same is very limited. Less is known about the relationship between clinical judgments by mental health experts and the patient's perception of symptom change, in particular across different diagnostic groups.Aims and objectivesThis study aims to determine the level of concordance between the HONOS as a tool for clinical outcome monitoring and the self-reported change in psychopathology in a total sample of psychiatric patients as well as stratified by their primary diagnosis at admission.MethodsA consecutive sample of patients admitted to a Swiss psychiatric hospital for either alcohol use disorders, schizophrenic psychoses, mood disorders, anxiety and somatoform disorders, or personality disorders, was assessed using the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) at admission and at discharge. The HoNOS were rated by the responsible clinicians. Complete data of admission and discharge were available from approximately 600 cases. Reliable change index (RCI) will be calculated to determine a clinically meaningful change based on the HoNOS scores. Concordance of RCI and change in BSI scores will be explored and compared between different diagnostic groups.Results and conclusionsAccording to our preliminary results from this ongoing evaluation program, we hope to provide a step towards a deeper understanding of the interrelationship between clinical judgments and the course of subjectively experienced mental health problems.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Cultural Components

Background: There has been an increased effort to understand the nature of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in non-Western cultures. In particular, growing research has examined OCD in China, but there are no comprehensive instruments that measure both OCD severity and heterogeneity for characterizing samples. Aims: A validated, comprehensive measure that could be used in China would provide researchers with a useful instrument for evaluating severity and heterogeneity of OCD in a non-Western culture, allowing researchers to better understand the universal and cultural components that play a role in the nature of OCD. Method: The current investigation presents data on the reliability and validity of a Mandarin translation of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (CH-OCI) using both a student (n = 1950) and clinical sample (n = 50 patients with OCD; n = 50 patients with anxiety as a comparison group). Results: Results support the factor structure, convergent and discriminant validity, criterion-related validity, test-retest reliability, and internal consistency of the CH-OCI. Conclusions: Validation of the instrument permits researchers and clinicians to measure OCD presentation in Mandarin-speaking samples.

Latin American mental health services are moving from the psychiatric hospital model to a community-based model. The effectiveness of these new services needs to be evaluated and that can be done through routine outcome monitoring. The present communication introduces the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measure (CORE-OM), a free instrument, supported with rigorous psychometric exploration, and which has been translated to Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese that can be used for monitoring purposes across the region.

Future Research

Background: Interpersonal problems are consistently identified with psychopathology that often has its onset in adolescence. Most of the commonly used instruments in child and adolescent psychiatry target non-interpersonal problems. The Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP) is a widely studied and utilized instrument in the adult mental health field. Aims: This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the IIP (circumplex version) used with a clinical adolescent population. Method: Sixty-two adolescents (13-17 years) who received treatment in a child and adolescent mental health clinic (CAMHS) were included in the study. To establish reliability and validity, we conducted confirmatory factor analyses, internal consistency, and validity analyses. Results: Confirmatory analyses did not show optimal model fit. However, other indices like CFI and TLI were promising. The reliability of the eight scales was in the same range as previous studies and acceptable. There were expected significant correlations between IIP-C scales and the broadband scales of Youth Self-report (YSR). Conclusion: The pioneer nature and its clinical focus are strengths however, there is for more research. The promising results are encouraging, and future research could also explore how best to bring the instrument into the digital age.
