Assessing therapeutic change in patients with severe dissociative disorders: the progress in treatment questionnaire, therapist and patient measures.

Abstract:

:Background: Treatment research for dissociative identity disorder (DID) and closely related severe dissociative disorders (DD) is rare, and has been made more difficult by the lack of a reliable, valid measure for assessing treatment progress in these populations. Objective: This paper presents psychometric data for therapist and patient report measures developed to evaluate therapeutic progress and outcomes for individuals with DID and other DD: the Progress in Treatment Questionnaire - Therapist (PITQ-t; a therapist report measure) and the Progress in Treatment Questionnaire - Patient (PITQ-p; a patient self-report measure). Method: We examined the data of 177 patient-therapist pairs (total N = 354) participating in the TOP DD Network Study, an online psychoeducation programme aimed at helping patients with DD establish safety, regulate emotions, and manage dissociative and posttraumatic symptoms. Results: The PITQ-t and PITQ-p demonstrated good internal consistency and evidence of moderate convergent validity in relation to established measures of emotional dysregulation, dissociation, posttraumatic stress disorder, and psychological quality of life, which are characteristic difficulties for DD patients. The measures also demonstrated significant relationships in the hypothesized directions with positive emotions, social relations, and self-harm and dangerous behaviours. The patient-completed PITQ-p, which may be used as an ongoing assessment measure to guide treatment planning, demonstrated evidence of stronger relationships with established symptom measures than the PITQ-t. Conclusions: The PITQ-t and PITQ-p merit use, additional research, and refinement in relation to the assessment of therapeutic progress with patients with DD. :Planteamiento: La investigación del tratamiento para el trastorno de identidad disociativo (TID) y los trastornos disociativos (TD) graves que están estrechamente relacionados es poco frecuente y se ha dificultado por la falta de una medida fiable y válida para evaluar el progreso del tratamiento en estas poblaciones. Objetivo: Este artículo presenta los datos psicométricos de las medidas de informes de terapeutas y pacientes desarrolladas para evaluar el progreso terapéutico y los resultados en personas con TID y otros TD: El Cuestionario del progreso del tratamiento - terapeuta (PITQ-t, siglas en inglés de Progress in Treatment Questionnaire - Therapist; una medición mediante informe del terapeuta) y el Cuestionario del progreso del tratamiento - paciente (PITQ-p, siglas en inglés de Progress in Treatment Questionnaire - Patient; una medición mediante autoinforme del paciente). Método: Se examinaron los datos de 177 pares de pacientes-terapeutas (N total = 354) que participaron en el TOP DD Network Study, un programa de psicoeducación online destinado a ayudar a los pacientes con TD a establecer seguridad, regular emociones y manejar síntomas disociativos y postraumáticos. Resultados: El PITQ-t y PITQ-p demostraron buena consistencia interna y evidencia de una validez convergente moderada en relación a las medidas establecidas de desregulación emocional, disociación, trastorno por estrés postraumático y calidad de vida psicológica - dificultades características en pacientes con TD. Las medidas también demostraron relaciones significativas en el sentido establecido por la hipótesis en cuanto a emociones positivas, relaciones sociales, y conductas autolesivas y peligrosas. El PITQ-p completado por el paciente, que puede usarse como una medida de evaluación continua para guiar la planificación del tratamiento, evidenció relaciones más fuertes con las medidas establecidas de los síntomas que el PITQ-t. Conclusiones: El PITQ-t y PITQ-p justifican su uso, investigación adicional y refinamiento en relación con la evaluación del progreso terapéutico con pacientes con TD. :背景:对分离身份障碍(DID)和与其紧密相关的分离障碍(DD)的治疗研究较少,缺少可靠有效的测量使评估这个群体的治疗进展更加困难。 目标:本文呈现了治疗师报告和病人自我报告的心理测量数据用于评估DID和DD病人的治疗进展和结果:治疗进展问卷-医师版(PITO-t,治疗师报告)和治疗进展问卷-患者版(PITO-p,病人自我报告)。 方法:我们分析了177对病人-医生组合参与TOP DD网络研究(一个帮助DD病人建立安全感、调控情绪和管理分离和创伤症状的网上心理教育项目)的数据(总体n=354)。 结果:PITQ-t 和 PITQ-p显示了良好的内部一致性,与情绪失调、分离、创伤后应激障碍和心理生活质量-DD病人的特征性困难表现出中等的聚合效度。和假设一致,这个测量也表现出积极情绪、社会关系、自我伤害和危险行为的显著相关。病人完成的PITQ-p,可以用作持续的评估测量来指导治疗计划,与已成熟的测量工具之间比PITQ-t表现出更强的关联。 结论:PITQ-t 和 PITQ-p和DD病人的治疗进展评估的关系说明它们是值得使用、可以用于研究中和进行改进的的工具。.
