What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Working Alliance Inventory
The therapeutic alliance is an important concept that expresses the cooperation and relationship between the therapist and the patient. This alliance includes such elements as trust, mutual understanding, openness and cooperation in the therapy process. This scale can be used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the therapeutic relationship and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. The total score of the BR-WAI is calculated by adding up all of the items. Reverse items, 4, 8, 12, 16, are scored inversely: (5=1) (4=2) (2=4) (1=5). A higher score represents a stronger alliance. A subscale score for Bonds is calculated by adding questions: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15. A subscale score for Tasks and Goals is calculated by adding questions: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16.
Measured: 1 day
Attitude Towards Psychiatry-30 Scale
It is a scale for attitudes in psychiatry and consists of 30 items. This scale is used among medical students, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals working in psychiatry. The Attitude Towards Psychiatry-30 is designed to assess attitudes about psychiatric diseases and their treatments. These attitudes cover topics such as what psychiatric illnesses are, treatment methods, and how people with psychiatric illness should be treated.Attitude Towards Psychiatry-30 is used in psychiatric healthcare in many countries.ATP-30 focuses on attitudes and views of psychiatry with 30 questions. There are 5 choices for each question: strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, and strongly disagree. It contains 30 Likert-scale items, 5 means strongly agree and 1 means strongly disagree.
Measured: 1 day
