Sammanfattning
BACKGROUND: To ensure the quality of Cognitive Milieu Therapy (CMT), there is a need for an instrument measuring the level of relevant therapeutic skills. To our knowledge, no such instrument exists.
METHOD: Construction of the Self-evaluation – Cognitive Milieu Therapy (S-CMT) was based on the structure of the Cognitive Therapy Adherence and Competence Scale (CTACS). Elements assessing interdisciplinary skills, such as the therapeutic use of activities and the environmental factors from milieu therapy were added to the CTACS model. An introductory examination of psychometric properties was undertaken after a trial with 82 responses. Feedback from the respondents concerning the use of S-CMT, comments from experienced clinicians regarding the content and structure of the form, and “face validity” comments were obtained from established experts in Cognitive Milieu Therapy.
RESULTS: The S-CMT proved easy to understand and administer in clinical settings. The S-CMT showed acceptable internal consistency by Cronbach`s alpha (α= 0.95) on the total scale. Mean scores for the seven-point scale items ranged between 2.7 and 6.0, standard deviations range between 0.8 and 1.9. Face validity comments showed promising potential for the validity of the instrument.
CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary investigations of the S-CMT showed properties suitable for self-evaluation of therapeutic skills in clinical settings, however further investigations of reliability and validity are needed.
