For your own recovery it is very important to keep track of your progress. This will give you insight into your own thoughts and behavior as well as allowing you to reflect on them. To help you with this, you can regularly fill in short questionnaires, also known as ROM measurements (Routine Outcome Monitoring). With the help of these questions you can keep track of your progress. Additionally, it gives you the opportunity to voice your opinion about the sessions and the treatment. By doing this you can keep the control over your own treatment process. Your professional has access to the results so that you can discuss them together during your sessions.
What’s the point of these questions?
We use two short, appointment-bound questionnaires consisting of five questions. Not only are they quick to fill in, they give your professional information about how you are doing, and will give you more insight into your own state of mind, how you think the treatment is going and what you think about the sessions.
- You fill in the first questionnaire before your appointment. This is about your health and well-being. You can indicate in various domains how you are doing at the moment of filling it in, for example in your social relationships or physical health. The questions are formulated positively and help to monitor your recovery and so that you can check together whether the treatment is still going in the right direction.
- You complete the second questionnaire after your appointment and the focus is on your experience of the session you just had. Completing these questions helps to optimize the collaboration with your practitioner. Your opinion about the treatment and the sessions is very important! Therefore you can fill in the list honestly and share your thoughts about it.
Where can I find these questions?
