Zusammenfassung. Beschrieben wird die Entwicklung eines Fragebogens für Psychotherapie-Patienten zur Beurteilung ihrer Therapie. Solche Einschätzungen sind in der Effektivitätsforschung zur Beurteilung der Glaubwürdigkeit von Kontrollgruppen eingesetzt worden, erhoben allerdings lediglich durch Einzelitems. Der auf der Basis von zwei Forschungsfragebögen zusammengestellte PATHEV hat drei Subskalen (Hauptkomponentenanalyse mit schiefwinkliger Rotation, N = 581 Patienten): Hoffnung auf Besserung, Furcht vor Veränderung und Passung. Die Testgüte der Skalen ist gut. In drei Untersuchungen zur Konstruktvalidität erweisen sich die Skalen als theoriekonform; sie erlauben eine Prognose von 13% bzw. 16% der Varianz des Therapieerfolgs.


Patient Questionnaire on Therapy Expectation and Evaluation (PATHEV)

Abstract. This study describes the development of a questionnaire for psychotherapy patients to evaluate their therapy. Such evaluations, normally assessed only by single items, are used to judge the credibility of control groups. The PATHEV, constructed on the basis of two research questionnaires, consists of three subscales (principal component analysis, oblique rotation, N = 581 patients): Hope of Improvement, Fear of Change, and Suitability. The reliability of the scales is good to sufficient. The construct validity of the scales has been demonstrated in three studies. Up to 13% to 16% of the treatment outcome, depending on its operationalization, can be predicted by the scores assessed after the fourth session.
