New Measurement Scale for Anxiety Outcomes
The scale can easily be incorporated into routine clinical practice when treating psychiatric disorders.
If scales are to be incorporated into clinical practices, it is necessary to develop measures that are feasible and have good psychometric properties.
Keeping this in mind, Dr. Mark Zimmerman and his colleagues developed the Clinically Useful Anxiety Outcome Scale (CUXOS).
"If the optimal delivery of mental health treatment ultimately depends on examining outcome, then precise, reliable, valid, informative, and user-friendly measurement is critical to evaluating the quality and efficiency of care in clinical practice. Clinicians are already overburdened with paperwork, and adding to this load by requiring repeated detailed evaluations using instruments that are available is unlikely to meet success," said Zimmerman.
The researchers note that only 11 percent of the psychiatrists are routinely using standardized measures to assess outcomes when treating depression or anxiety disorders.
