We describe the development and initial psychometric properties of the observer-rated Global Therapist Competence Scale for Youth Psychosocial Treatment (G-COMP) in the context of cognitive-behavioral treatment (CBT) for youth anxiety disorders.
Independent coders rated 744 sessions from a sample of 68 youth (mean age = 10.56 years) using the G-COMP and the instruments of alliance, involvement, CBT adherence, CBT competence.
Inter-rater reliability coefficients, ICC(2,2), were greater than .60 for the 5 G-COMP domain scores. G-COMP scores yielded small to medium correlations with instruments of alliance (rs = .17-.44) and youth involvement in treatment (rs = .08-.53), and medium to large correlations with instruments of CBT competence and adherence (rs = .26-.63). Therapists in the research setting were rated higher compared to newly trained therapists in community clinics.
Preliminary reliability and validity of the G-COMP are promising, but future research is needed with non-CBT samples.
我们描述了在认知行为治疗(CBT)治疗青年焦虑障碍的背景下,用于青年心理社会治疗的观察者评定的全球治疗师能力量表(G-COMP)的开发和初步心理测量特性。
独立编码员使用 G-COMP 以及联盟、投入、CBT 依从性、CBT 能力的工具,对 68 名青年(平均年龄为 10.56 岁)的 744 个疗程进行了评分。
5 个 G-COMP 域评分的组内相关系数 ICC(2,2)大于.60。G-COMP 评分与联盟工具(rs =.17-.44)和青年治疗参与度(rs =.08-.53)之间存在小到中等相关,与 CBT 能力和依从性工具之间存在中到大相关(rs =.26-.63)。与社区诊所新培训的治疗师相比,研究环境中的治疗师的评分更高。
G-COMP 的初步可靠性和有效性是有希望的,但需要对非 CBT 样本进行进一步的研究。
