“…Example items on the questionnaire are "Feeling afraid as if something awful might happen" or "Worrying too much about different things". Previous studies show that the GAD-7 is highly reliable (Delgadillo 2012;García-Campayo 2010). In the current study alpha was good (α = 0.91).…”

“…The average scores for the different victimisation categories in the pre-school control group were not abnormally low and are comparable to average scores from previous studies using the victimisation measure (McLaughlin, Hatzenbuehler and Hilt 2009); it is the case that both treatment groups and the reception control group score higher on the different dimensions of victimisation compared to average scores noted in previous studies. On anxiety, average scores for all groups would qualify as mild anxiety (cut-off at score of five (Delgadillo 2012), although the two treatment groups are both approaching the moderate anxiety cut-off of ten.…”

Aims: To determine (1) whether having a visible eye condition and/or treatment with glasses and/or occlusion in childhood has any impact on psychological and/or social outcomes during childhood and young adulthood and (2) whether there is an effect of age at treatment. Methods: A cohort of 160 participants was asked to take part in an online study. The cohort had previously taken part in a research study at Royal Preston Hospital from 1999–2006 when they were 3–8 years old ( Buckley and Perkins 2010 ). Participants were divided into treatment and no-defect (control) groups and were invited to take part in the current study when they had reached age 18–21. Thirty-five (35) participants (22.5% of the total cohort) were recruited and completed a series of online questionnaires assessing recalled victimisation at school, current generalised anxiety, current depressive symptoms, current loneliness, current friendship quality, and adjustment to university/work. Questionnaire scores between treated patients and controls were compared. Results: Findings showed that young adults who received treatment during their pre-school years, compared to their peers who did not need treatment, reported higher current generalised anxiety and more victimisation when in school. Those who received treatment in reception class were no different on psycho-social functioning compared to their peers; with both groups reporting higher victimisation than average compared to previous studies, and mild rates of anxiety. Conclusions: It appears that having a visible eye condition or treatment with glasses and/or occlusion commencing at pre-school has long term psychological implications, with scores on victimisation and current anxiety levels being higher for the pre-school treatment group compared to the pre-school no defect (control) group. Treatment plans and advice to parents should consider psycho-social outcomes of proposed treatment.

“…Patients had the following anxiety disorders (determined by the clinicians via unstructured clinical interview): GAD ( n = 14), panic disorder ( n = 8), social anxiety disorder ( n = 5), PTSD ( n = 5), and OCD ( n = 1). Patients were evaluated weekly with the GAD-7 (Bandelow & Brasser, 2009; Delgadillo et al, 2012; Kroenke, Spitzer, Williams, & Lowe, 2010; Kroenke, Spitzer, Williams, Monahan, & Lowe, 2007; Spitzer, Kroenke, Williams, & Lowe, 2006), a self-report measure of anxiety. The GAD-7 has good reliability, as well as criterion and construct validity.…”

Therapist Training on Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Anxiety Disorders Using Internet-Based Technologies

This study investigated a technology-enhanced training protocol to facilitate dissemination of therapist training on cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders. Seventy community clinicians received an online tutorial followed by live remote observation of clinical skills via videoconference. Impact of training on patient outcomes was also assessed. Training resulted in a significant increase in both trainee knowledge of CBT concepts and techniques and therapist competence in applying these skills. Patients treated by trainees following training had significant reductions in anxiety and depression. Ratings of user satisfaction were high. Results provide support for the use of these technologies for therapist training in CBT.

“…The reliability and validity of the GAD-7 have been tested and supported by a number of studies in both the general population and patients with psychopathology [18] [19,20]. The GAD-7 has been validated by significant positive correlations with a number of anxiety measures, including the Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Beck Anxiety Inventory and the anxiety sub-scale of Symptom Checklist-90 [17,21] and it has previously been used as a screening tool in epilepsy [22].…”

Objective: The aim of this service evaluation was to explore the effectiveness of a psychotherapeutic treatment for patients with epilepsy based on the Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach and to assess whether this treatment is likely to be cost-effective. Method:We conducted an uncontrolled prospective study of consecutive patients with refractory epilepsy referred for outpatient psychological treatment to a single psychotherapist because of emotional difficulties related to their seizure disorder. Participants were referred by consultant neurologists, neuropsychologists or epilepsy nurses and completed a set of validated self-report questionnaires (Short Form -12 Version 2, Generalised Anxiety Disorder -7, Neurological Disorders Depression Inventory for Epilepsy, Work and Social Adjustment Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale) at referral, the end of therapy and six months post therapy. Patients received a maximum of 20 sessions of one-to-one psychological treatment supported by a workbook. Cost-effectiveness was estimated based on the calculation of quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gains associated with the intervention.Results: Sixty patients completed the pre-and post-psychotherapy questionnaires, 41 also provided six-month follow-up data. Patients received six to 20 sessions of psychotherapy (mean = 11.5, S.D. = 9.6). Psychotherapy was associated with significant medium to large positive effects on depression, anxiety, quality of life, self-esteem, work and social adjustment (Ps < .001), which were sustained six months after therapy. The mean cost of the psychotherapy was £445.6 and, assuming that benefits were maintained for at least six months after the end of therapy, the cost per QALY was estimated to be £11,140 ( 9, $18,016; the cost per QALY would be half this amount if the benefits lasted one year). Conclusion:The findings of this pilot study indicate that the described psychotherapeutic intervention may be a cost-effective treatment for patients with epilepsy. The results suggest that randomised controlled trial of the psychotherapy programme is justified.
