Comparing the GP ‐ Core and WEMWBS Scores as Predictors of Future Mental Health Service Utilisation and Help‐Seeking Behaviour Among UK Students in Higher Education
Statistical Relations Among the Core ‐10, PHQ ‐9 and GAD ‐7 in an English Urban Community Counselling and Psychotherapy Clinic
A Bayesian network analysis of psychosocial risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate and model the interactions between a range of risk and protective factors for suicidal ideation using general population data collected during the critical phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: = 1,006 UK), sociodemographic features and a multi-domain battery of health, wellbeing and quality of life (QOL) measures were completed. Predictive accuracy was examined using the area under the curv…
Mental health trajectories in university students across the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction Psychological wellbeing in university students is receiving increased focus. However, to date, few longitudinal studies in this population have been conducted. As such, in 2019, we established the Student Wellbeing At Northern England Universities (SWANS) cohort at the University of York, United Kingdom aiming to measure student mental health and wellbeing every six months. Furthermore, the study period included the COVID-19 pandemic…
Profiling student mental health and counselling effectiveness
There remain barriers to securing robust and complete datasets from counselling embedded in Higher Education (HE). This study aimed to provide the first step towards developing a national dataset of student counselling outcomes drawn from differing outcome measures, platforms and reporting on all clients. Data from four counselling services using two clinical outcome measures and two platforms were pooled and analysed. Students presented to couns…
Prevalence and risk factors for mental health problems in university undergraduate students
Mental Health During Covid-19 Lockdown in the United Kingdom
OBJECTIVE: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and related lockdown measures have raised important questions about the impact on mental health. This study evaluated several mental health and well-being indicators in a large sample from the United Kingdom (UK) during the COVID-19 lockdown where the death rate is currently among the highest in Europe. METHODS: A cross-sectional online survey with a study sample that mirrors general populati…
Telephone delivery of psychological interventions
‘So just to go through the options…’
This article considers patient choice in mental healthcare services, specifically the ways that choice is enabled or constrained in patient–practitioner spoken interaction. Using the method of conversation analysis (CA), we examine the language used by practitioners when presenting treatment delivery options to patients entering the NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) service. Analysis of 66 recordings of telephone‐delivered IA…
An item response theory analysis of an item pool for the recovering quality of life (ReQoL) measure
The results from the IRT analyses confirm the robust structure properties and internal construct validity of the ReQoL instruments. The strong psychometric evidence generated guided item selection for the final versions of the ReQoL measures
Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Data in the Development of Outcome Measures
While it is important to treat symptoms, there is growing recognition that in order to help people with mental health problems lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, it is crucial to capture the impact of their conditions on wider aspects of their social lives. We constructed two versions of the Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) measure—ReQoL-10 and ReQoL-20—for use in routine settings and clinical trials from a larger pool of items by combining …
The importance of content and face validity in instrument development
This research has underlined the importance of service users' views on the acceptability and validity of items for use in developing a new measure. Whether or not service users favoured an item was associated with their ability or intention to respond accurately and honestly to the item which will impact on the validity and sensitivity of the measure
Exploring the item sets of the Recovering Quality of Life (ReQoL) measures using factor analysis
The analyses confirmed that the ReQoL item sets are sufficiently unidimensional to proceed to item response theory analysis. The model was robust across different ordering of positive and negative items
Using Rasch analysis to form plausible health states amenable to valuation
Developing and delivering practice-based evidence
Changes in undergraduate students' psychological well-being as they progress through university
This article investigates the psychological well‐being of students from all faculties across their undergraduate degree from pre‐registration to semester two of year three at one UK university. Data were collected on seven occasions, with 66% of students who began their studies between 2000 and 2002 taking part in the project. Psychological well‐being was assessed using the General Population Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation (GP‐CORE). Res…
Bowhead whales, and not right whales, were the primary target of 16th- to 17th-century Basque Whalers in the Western North Atlantic
During the 16th and 17th centuries, Basque whalers travelled annually to the Strait of Belle Isle and Gulf of St. Lawrence to hunt whales. The hunting that occurred during this period is of primary significance for the North Atlantic right whale, Eubalaena glacialis (Müller, 1776), because it has been interpreted as the largest human-induced reduction of the western North Atlantic population, with ~12250–21 000 whales killed. It has been frequent…
Changes in undergraduate student alcohol consumption as they progress through university
The current findings suggest that student alcohol consumption declines over their undergraduate studies; however weekly levels of consumption at Year 3 remain high for a substantial number of students. The persistence of high levels of consumption in a large population of students suggests the need for effective preventative and treatment interventions for all year groups
Measuring, monitoring and managing the psychological well-being of first year university students
This paper profiles the psychological well-being of students in their initial year of university. There were three aims: to measure the impact of arrival at university on the psychological well-being of first year students, to monitor (i.e. profile) the shape of psychological well-being across the first year, and to investigate how students manage their well-being in relation to the use of university counselling services. Data were collected on f…
Practice-Based Evidence for a Brief Time-Intensive Multi-Modal Therapy Guided by Group-Analytic Principles and Method
Group analysts are increasingly being called upon to provide effectiveness evidence, which may be critical to the development of group analysis as a therapeutic intervention in National Health Service provision of psychotherapies. This article describes a practice-based outcomes research initiative conducted in a time-limited group-analytic programme. The research was manageable and informative for profiling patients before therapy, recording ben…
Towards a standardised brief outcome measure
BACKGROUND: An acceptable, standardised outcome measure to assess efficacy and effectiveness is needed across multiple disciplines offering psychological therapies. AIMS: To present psychometric data on reliability, validity and sensitivity to change for the CORE-OM (Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation--Outcome Measure). METHOD: A 34-item self-report instrument was-developed, with domains of subjective well-being, symptoms, function and risk.…
The Potential of Conversation Analysis for Psychotherapy Research
An illustrative analysis is offered demonstrating the potential of conversation analysis for psychotherapy research. Extracts are presented from an unresolved problematic theme selected from an unsuccessful eight-session psychodynamic-interpersonal therapy of a female client presenting with a major depressive episode. The authors identify descriptive devices and communicative skills on which the client and therapist draw in the process of problem…
The Relationship Between Interpersonal Attachment Styles and Work Difficulties
Hazan and Shaver (1990) have argued that attachment theory can be used to predict relationships between adult attachment types (love) and aspects of work behavior. They found that anxious/ambivalent attachments were associated with poorer work performance. Avoidantly attached individuals tended to be overinvolved with work which resulted in effective work performance but disrupted home life. The present study aimed to develop scales of insecure a…
The structure, validity and clinical relevance of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems
This paper presents preliminary data on the psychometric and clinical properties of the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP: Horowitz, Rosenberg, Baer, Ureno & Villasenor, 1988) obtained from a UK sample of clients presenting with depression/anxiety for individual psychotherapy as part of two concurrent outcome studies: the Second Sheffield Psychotherapy Project (SPP2) and the Medical Research Council/NHS Collaborative Psychotherapy Project …
Resolving a challenge to the therapeutic relationship
The selection of a case of demonstrated change using a quantitative criterion preceded an exploration of possible change mechanisms in therapy. Between‐session variations in the therapeutic relationship revealed by a quantitative measure prompted an intensive qualitative investigation of in‐session events. Within these events, the study focused on challenges to the therapeutic relationship and their subsequent resolution. Understanding the resolu…

The Second Sheffield Psychotherapy Project
The cost‐efficiency of psychotherapy research can be enhanced by ( a ) dissemination of the rationale and design of large‐scale investigations whilst still under way, ( b ) incorporation of process measures within comparative outcome studies, ( c ) cumulative development of a series of related studies, and ( d ) sharing of recordings and other data with other investigators. We present the rationale and design, including full details of process an…
The reliability of a modified Helper Behaviour Rating System
Response mode analysis seeks to classify the utterances of psychotherapists and others offering personal help, with respect to the interpersonal function of the utterance. It is applicable in diverse settings, and irrespective of the theoretical orientation of the helper or the researcher. The present study presents reliability data on a new such system of analysis, incorporating a novel mode, termed exploration. Intermediate between interpretati…

The California Psychotherapy Alliance Scales
The reliability and clinical utility of the rater form of the California Psychotherapy Alliance Scales (CALPAS‐R) was investigated on a sample of 12 one‐hour audiotapes representing differing therapeutic dyads and sampled from sessions two to six of a relationship‐oriented (exploratory) therapy within pilot cases of a large outcome study. Both global dimensions and element‐based ratings were used to test the feasibility of employing the elements …
