Outcome measures
Primary outcome
An, to the Dutch situation, adapted BHS questionnaire, with data on its
repeatability, internal consistency for the specific domains and responsiveness
to the HRV measurement, resulting in a set of reliable tools to monitor patient
progress.
Secondary outcome
not applicable
Background summary
Within the psychiatric health care treatment of patients can be very specific
for the individual client. To measure effectiveness of treatment, specific
measurement tools are needed. The Behavioral Health Status (BHS) questionnaire
and the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measurements might be good
monitoringsystems to evaluate patients progress. Before these methods can be
used, the validity of the methods need to be assessed.
Study objective
Further development and validation of two tools to measure patient progress in
the psychiatric health care; the behavioral health status (BHS) questionnaire
and the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) measures.
Study design
Clients starting outpatient treatment because of psychiatric complaints will be
asked to participate. At three times (start of the treatment, after 3 and 6
months) measurements will be performed. Next to the new methods BHS and HRV
measurement, a set of validated questionnaires will be filled in.
Repeatability, internal consistency for the specific domains of the
questionnaire and responsiveness of the HRV will be tested.
Study burden and risks
No risks of any kind is expected from this study. This study does not influence
the treatment the participants will receive, and no risks are to be expected
from filling out questionnaires and participating in a non-invasive HRV
measurement.
