Given the increasing prevalence of mental health problems in the general population, it is indispensable to use assessment tools aimed to assess the outcome of therapeutic interventions in order to refine the process of psychological rehabilitation.
We describe the process of adaptation into Spanish and a first psychometric study of the Young Person's- Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (YP-CORE), an instrument designed to measure the outcome in terms of general distress of therapeutic interventions in young people (11-16 years). 104 adolescents participated in the clinical and 131 in the non-clinical samples.
Analyses showed good levels of acceptability, adequate internal consistency and acceptable test-retest stability, with moderately high correlations between administrations. In addition, the instrument yielded significant correlations with all dimensions of the Youth Self Report, the highest being between both total scores. Crucially, discriminated between clinical and non-clinical samples and showed a small effect of age but a larger effect of gender, with higher scores for females. The Principal Component Analysis replicates the original structure. Cut-off scores to calculate the reliable and clinically significant change are provided.
These results support initial use of the instrument though there are certain limitations that indicate the need for more research with larger and more representative samples, in which the psychometric properties of the instrument should be verified.
鉴于普通人群中心理健康问题的患病率不断上升,使用旨在评估治疗干预效果的评估工具对于完善心理康复过程至关重要。
我们描述了将《青少年常规评估临床结局量表》(YP-CORE)改编为西班牙语的过程以及首次心理测量学研究,该量表旨在衡量针对青少年(11至16岁)治疗干预的一般痛苦方面的结局。104名青少年参与了临床样本研究,131名参与了非临床样本研究。
分析显示该量表具有良好的可接受性、足够的内部一致性和可接受的重测稳定性,不同施测之间具有中等高度的相关性。此外,该量表与《青少年自我报告》的所有维度均具有显著相关性,总分之间的相关性最高。至关重要的是,它能够区分临床样本和非临床样本,显示出年龄的影响较小,但性别影响较大,女性得分更高。主成分分析重现了原始结构。提供了用于计算可靠且具有临床意义变化的临界分数。
这些结果支持该量表的初步使用,尽管存在某些局限性,这表明需要对更大且更具代表性的样本进行更多研究,以验证该量表的心理测量学特性。
