Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Instruments - Demographical information Questions are asked about the demographic background of the patient, like age, gender, professional and employment status, the country of birth of the patient and his/her parents, and therapies the patient has had in the past. - Autonomy-Connectedness Scale (ACS-30; Bekker & van Assen, 2006) has 30 items to be answered on a 5-point scale with answering possibilities ranging from 1 (disagree) to 5 (agree). These 30 items make up 3 scales, namely Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to Others, and Capacity of Managing New Situations. - Beck Depression Inventory (BDI; Beck at al., 1961) measures the extent to which various aspects of depression are being suffered. The scale has 21 items all with a 4-point scale, with answer possibilities ranging from 0 (not feeling) to 3 (feeling so that I cannot endure it). - Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90R; Derogatis, 1977) is very closely related to the original SCL-90 questionnaire. The SCL-90 is a multi-dimensional self-report inventory, consisting of 90 items covering 8 dimensions of psychological distress: phobic anxiety, anxiety, depression, somatization, obsessive-compulsitivity, distrust and interpersonal sensitivity, hostility and insomnia. Each item describes a physical or psychological symptom whereby the patient is asked to indicate the extent he/she has felt this symptom during the preceding week. The answer possibilities are ranging from 1 (not at all) to 5 (extremely). - WHO Quality of Life BREF (WHOQOL-BREF; De Vries & Van Heck, 1995) is a shorter version of the WHO Quality of Life-100 instrument. The WHOQOL-BREF instrument has 26 items, which measures the following broad domains: psychical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. The response scale is a 5-point Likert scale; dependent on the question ranging from 1 to 5 (for example, the question How satisfied are you with your health? can be answered ranging from 1 (ve	—
