ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To identify factors influencing the subjective assessment of patients regarding the outcome of in-patient psychotherapy for anxiety disorders. METHODS: A total of 231 patients were tested at admission, discharge and 1-year follow-up in a multi-center study. Subjective outcome assessment was measured with the revised German version of the Helping Alliance Questionnaire. The use of the term "outcome satisfaction" is discussed. RESULTS: Patient outcome assessment did not correlate with age, sex, or education, or with duration or severity of illness or duration of treatment. Outcome assessment was closely connected with therapy success. Reaching a low symptom level ("clinical significance") had a higher impact than a high pre-post-difference ("statistical significance"). CONCLUSIONS: Anxiety patients give a generally positive assessment of their therapy outcome, which is most determined by symptom-related treatment success. The differentiation of "clinical" and "statistical significance" of success is of importance for the patient's subjective view of the therapy outcome.
