Routine Outcome Measures in Adult Psychiatry in The Netherlands: An Evaluation of Measurement Instruments
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: An evaluation of the most commonly used ROM measures in Dutch psychiatry is lacking, both for severe mental illnesses and for common psychiatric disorders. Aim: To provide an overview of the characteristics and quality of outcome measures. Method: A literature study yielded six outcome measures. The psychometrical, clinical, and practical aspects of these scales are described. Results: The measures are suitable and are of adequate quality. Discussion: It remains to be seen whether any of the outcome measures are suitable for both serious and less-serious mental illnesses. The use of a combination of a self-rating scale and an observer-rating scale that measure symptoms and domains of functioning may be the most promising choice.
