Our study adds to the rising field of dissemination and implementation research on Emotionally Focused Therapy. We evaluated the psychometric characteristics of the Hungarian EFT-KACS, examined the impact of the EFT Externship training done through translation on Hungarian therapists, and we investigated how therapist background characteristics related to outcomes. A total of 340 Hungarian professionals completed the questionnaires (N = 152 in 2016; and N = 188 in 2018) at three data collecting points-prior to (N = 329), after the training (N = 254), and 6 months later (N = 101). Results suggest the Hungarian EFT-KACS has similar psychometric properties as the original English version and shows high internal consistency. The 4-day EFT Externship trainings done through translation provided significant, lasting increases in perceived EFT-specific knowledge and competency, and in alliance, similar to findings in English- and Spanish-speaking countries. Externship outcomes were also found to be related to specific therapist experience and background characteristics.
我们的研究为情感焦点疗法的传播和实施研究领域增添了新内容。我们评估了匈牙利版 EFT-KACS 的心理测量学特征，考察了通过翻译进行的 EFT 实习培训对匈牙利治疗师的影响，并研究了治疗师背景特征与结果的关系。共有 340 名匈牙利专业人员在三个数据收集点完成了问卷（2016 年有 329 人，2018 年有 188 人）：培训前（329 人）、培训后（254 人）和 6 个月后（101 人）。结果表明，匈牙利版 EFT-KACS 具有与原始英文版相似的心理测量学特性，且内部一致性较高。通过翻译进行的为期 4 天的 EFT 实习培训显著且持久地提高了治疗师对 EFT 特定知识和能力的感知，以及治疗联盟，这与英语和西班牙语国家的研究结果相似。实习培训的结果还与治疗师的特定经验和背景特征有关。
