Psychometric Evaluation and Clinical Norms of a Dutch Version of the Body Uneasiness Test Among Individuals With Self‐Reported Eating Disorder Pathology
Open AccessLanaya M van Uffelen, Edwin de Beurs et al.ARTICLEJournal of Clinical Psychology2026
INTRODUCTION: The present study evaluates the psychometric properties and provides normative data for the Dutch Body Uneasiness Test. The instrument was administered to a clinical sample (N = 448) and a community-based sample (N = 223). The Body Uneasiness Test was translated and back-translated. METHODS: Internal consistency, item-rest correlation, test-retest reliability, and concurrent validity were assessed. The Body Shape Questionnaire and t…
Latent profile analysis of psychiatric symptoms and the Ability to Participate in Social Roles and Activities
Open AccessGuido L Williams, Edwin de Beurs et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2025
The four profiles provide a clinically relevant framework for understanding self-reported psychosocial dysfunction, distinguishing patients on key outcomes such as suicidal ideation and work participation. This approach supports tailoring interventions, prioritizing treatment goals, and allocating resources based on shared patterns of characteristics. Future research should validate these profiles' temporal stability and predictive value for trea…
Web-based guided self-help cognitive behavioral therapy–enhanced versus treatment as usual for binge-eating disorder
Open AccessElla van Beers, Bernou Melisse et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024
Binge-eating disorder (BED) is a psychiatric disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of eating a large amount of food in a discrete period of time while experiencing a loss of control. Cognitive behavioral therapy-enhanced (CBT-E) is a recommended treatment for binge-eating disorder and is typically offered through 20 sessions. Although binge-eating disorder is highly responsive to CBT-E, the cost of treating these patients is high. Therefor…
Extending the PROMIS item bank “ability to participate in social roles and activities”
Open AccessGuido L Williams, Gerard Flens et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2024
We extended the PROMIS-APSRA item bank and improved its psychometric quality. Our study contributes to PROMIS measurement innovation, which allows for the addition of new items to existing item banks, without changing the interpretation of the scores and while maintaining the comparability of the scores with other PROMIS instruments
Norms and T-scores for screeners of alcohol use, depression and anxiety in the population of Suriname
Open AccessEdwin de Beurs, Raj Jadnanansing et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023
The appropriateness of these cut-offs and the value of converting raw scores into T-scores are discussed. Cut-off values help with screening and early detection of those who are likely to have a common mental health disorder and may require treatment. Conversion of raw scores to a common metric in this study facilitates the interpretation of questionnaire results for clinicians and can improve health care provision through measurement-based care
A survey of depression and anxiety disorders in urban and rural Suriname
Open AccessRaj Jadnanansing, Edwin de Beurs et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022
A high depression rate has been found in both areas, especially among young females. In addition, a high treatment gap is noted which insinuates that more therapeutic strategies are required to tackle depression and anxiety in Suriname
Psychopathology and health-related quality of life as patient-reported treatment outcomes
Open AccessEdwin de Beurs, Ingrid V E Carlier et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2021
Although (mental health) scores on both instruments are associated, adding the SF-36 in addition to the BSI in treatment evaluation research produces valuable information as the SF-36 measures a broader concept and contains physical/functional component scales, resulting in a more complete clinical picture of individual patients
Support for the higher-order factor structure of the WHODAS 2.0 self-report version in a Dutch outpatient psychiatric setting
Open AccessGuido L Williams, Edwin de Beurs et al.ARTICLEQuality of Life Research2021
Our results lend support for a factorial structure of the WHODAS 2.0 36-item self-report version that is comparable to the interview version. While we conjecture that a seven-factor solution might give a better reflection of item content and item variance, further research is needed to assess the clinical relevance of such a model. At this point, we recommend using the second-order structure with six factors that matches past findings of the inte…
Workplace Stress, Presenteeism, Absenteeism, and Resilience Amongst University Staff and Students in the Covid-19 Lockdown
Open AccessChristina Van Der Feltz-Cornelis, Christina Maria Van Der Feltz-Cornelis et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020
Background: This study explored how the COVID-19 outbreak and arrangements such as remote working and furlough affect work or study stress levels and functioning in staff and students at the University of York, UK. Methods: An invitation to participate in an online survey was sent to all University of York staff and students in May-June 2020. We measured stress levels [VAS-scale, Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ)], mental health [anxiety (GAD-…
