Psychometrische Überprüfung einer verkürzten Version der »Hamburger Module zur Erfassung allgemeiner Aspekte psychosozialer Gesundheit für die therapeutische Praxis« (HEALTH-49)

Abstract

The HEALTH-49 is a self-rating instrument that allows for the comprehensive and economic assessment of generic aspects of psychosocial health. It is highly suitable for use in clinical practice. The questionnaire is available as a free download from http://www.hamburger-module.de/

A Transdiagnostic Internet-Based Maintenance Treatment Enhances the Stability of Outcome after Inpatient Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

“…Secondary outcomes were psychological well-being, depressive symptoms, somatoform complaints, phobic anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, self-efficacy, positive and negative affect, and emotion regulation skills. All measures except positive affect, negative affect and emotion regulation skills were assessed using the corresponding subscales of the HEALTH-49 [35]. The HEALTH-49 is a license-free self-report instrument widely used in the German health care system.…”

“…The HEALTH-49 is a license-free self-report instrument widely used in the German health care system. Evidence of its reliability, validity and sensitivity to change has been demonstrated in several studies based on large clinical and nonclinical samples (1,548 psychotherapy inpatients, 5,630 primary care patients) [35]. Participants are asked to rate how much they had suffered from presented symptoms during the past 2 weeks (0 = not at all; 4 = very much).…”

“…Each scale score is calculated as the mean of the items of the particular scale. The overall score and its subscales correlated highly with the corresponding overall scores and subscales of the widely used Symptom Checklist (SCL) ([36]; German version [37]; psychopathological symptom severity: r health-GPS/SCL-GPS = 0.89; depressive symptoms: r health-dep/SCL-dep = 0.85; somatoform complaints: r health-som/SCL-som = 0.85; phobic anxiety: r health-pho/SCL-pho = 0.84 [35]). Sensitivity to change of the overall score and its subscales is as high as for the SCL [35].…”

“…The overall score and its subscales correlated highly with the corresponding overall scores and subscales of the widely used Symptom Checklist (SCL) ([36]; German version [37]; psychopathological symptom severity: r health-GPS/SCL-GPS = 0.89; depressive symptoms: r health-dep/SCL-dep = 0.85; somatoform complaints: r health-som/SCL-som = 0.85; phobic anxiety: r health-pho/SCL-pho = 0.84 [35]). Sensitivity to change of the overall score and its subscales is as high as for the SCL [35]. In the present study, internal consistency (Cronbach's α coefficients) at baseline was 0.87 for the overall score, 0.90 for depressive symptoms, 0.86 for somatoform complaints, and 0.86 for phobic anxiety.…”

“…Remission is defined as a return to a symptom-free or near symptom-free status [45]. Remission was classified as being below a 95% confidence interval of a raw value of 0.69 in GPS, which is the cutoff used by Rabung et al [35]. Recovery was defined as maintaining an achieved remission (either during an inpatient stay or during the intervention phase assessed at 3-month follow-up) until 12-month follow-up.…”
