Dimensions of variation on the CORE-OM.

摘要: Background. The Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation-Outcome Measure (CORE-OM) is a self-report measure comprising 28 items tapping three domains; subjective well-being, psychological problems and functioning. In addition to the potential theoretical value of domains for operationalizing phase model psychotherapy, when consulted, managers clinicians considered distinction between functioning important assessing case-mix clinical outcomes. A further domain six was included indicate possible risk. Subsequent analysis has suggested an alternative structure CORE-OM with factors risk positively negatively worded (Evans et al., 2002). Methods. This study compares models interpersonal factor data from 2,140 patients receiving therapy UK. Results. multi-method, multi-trait, nested solution accounted optimally item covariance, first-order general latent residualized problems, methods factors. labelled distress. Scale quality CORE-OM, using scoring method which non-risk are treated as single scale second satisfactory. Implications. complex may be best scored 2 scales distinct measurement problematic, partly because many out-patient therapies counselling services function relatively well comparison psychiatric services. addition, clear these variables overshadowed by their common variance An strategy this proposed.
