Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary study parameters relate to the psychometric qualities of the
CAI-NL, ie inter-rater reliability, content validity and internal consistency.
Secondary outcome
The primary study parameters relate to the clinical value of the CAI-NL, i.e.
feasibility, acceptability and usefulness.
Background summary
Many people with a Severe Mental Illness (EPA) suffer from cognitive
limitations in addition to the symptoms of their condition. These cognitive
limitations often have a major impact on daily functioning. This impact can be
measured with the Cognitive Assessment Interview (CAI), which can then serve as
a basis for treatment.
Study objective
The primary aim of this research is to test the psychometric qualities of the
Dutch translation of the CAI-NL. The secondary aim of the study is to evaluate
the clinical value of the CAI-NL as an instrument in the treatment of people
with severe mental illness (EPA) who have been hospitalized for a long time as
a result of their psychiatric disorder. Based on the results of this research,
we can also make a statement about the place of the CAI-NL in psychological
treatment. That is, can the CAI-NL replace a regular NPA, serve as a screening
tool or supplement regular neuropsychological testing?
Study design
The study consists of two parts. The first part of the study has a
cross-sectional quantitative research design in which the inter-rater
reliability, content validity and internal consistency of the CAI-NL will be
tested. The second part of the study is a qualitative observational study
evaluating the clinical value of the CAI-NL. To this end, 1) the feasibility,
2) the acceptability and 3) the usability of the CAI-NL is evaluated through a
post-CAI interview, focus groups and a vignette study among psychologists in
training to become mental health psychologists (PIOGs).
