Introduction: Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) has emerged as a strong
candidate to improve psychotherapy processes and outcome. However, its
use and implementation are greatly understudied in Latin-America. Therefore,
the aim of the present pilot study conducted in Argentina was to implement a
ROM and feedback system grounded on a psychometrically sound instrument
to measure session by session outcome in psychotherapy.
Methods: The sample consisted of 40 patients and 13 therapists. At
baseline, the patients completed the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and
the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and they also completed the Hopkins
Symptom Checklist-11 before each of the first five sessions. To estimate
patient change during the first sessions, we conducted a quantitative analysis
using Hierarchical Linear Models. Furthermore, we conducted a qualitative
analysis using Consensual Qualitative Research to analyze therapist perception
regarding the ROM and feedback system.
Results: Results showed a significant reduction in patients’ symptomatic
severity during the first five sessions. Additionally, baseline depression
significantly predicted the estimated severity at the end of the fifth session.
Feedback was given to the therapists after the first four sessions based on
these analyses. With regard to the perception of the feedback system, clinicians
underlined its usefulness and user-friendly nature. They also mentioned
that there was a match between the information provided and their clinical
judgment. Furthermore, they provided suggestions to enhance the system
that was incorporated in a new and improved version.
Discussion: Limitations and clinical implications are discussed. [-]
