Objective: to evaluate the effectivity of the introduction of the formal feedback PCOMS instrument in psychotherapy in the Spanish national health system.
Method: it was a randomized controlled single blind clinical study in 4 mental health and primary care centers of the La Paz University Hospital, Spain. Patients assigned to the experimental group completed the measurements of the PCOMS instrument together with their therapist during each session, while patients assigned to the control group received treatment as usual. A total of 58 patients completed the study. The main variable was the therapeutic result, measured through the ORS scale. Secondary variables were symptomatology, through the GSI scale (SCL-90), satisfaction, through the CRES-4 scale, and dropouts.
Result: differences were found between the experimental and control groups in the therapeutic result. The number necessary to treat indicated that for every 7 patients treated in the experimental condition, deterioration or no change of 1 patient would be avoided. There were no differences in symptoms, satisfaction or premature abandonment.
Conclusions: the PCOMS instrument can increase the effectivity of psychotherapy in mental health contexts of the Spanish national health system
