STAGE 5A and 5B
Since the launch of the ReQoL measures in October 2016, over
100 licences have been issued and over a third of mental health NHS Trusts are
using ReQoL. The ReQoL measures are being used in primary care, secondary care
with mental health populations aged 16 and over to capture service users’
perspective of their quality of life and recovery.
Research on the ReQoL is ongoing and there are three main
strands at the moment.
STAGE 5A (CPMS 36250)
Stage 5a, is partly funded by the Health Foundation as part
of a collaboration with the University of York on the project Efficiency, cost and quality of mental
healthcare provision (CI: Professor
Rowena Jacobs). The aims of this stage are:
i. to create a mapping function between the ReQoL
and the Health of the Nation Scales HoNOS. The results of this stage will be used
in the subsequent stages of the project.
ii. to validate ReQoL-10 in its final format. Our previous work on validation used the ReQoL-10 items as part of a larger set of 40 items.
During Stage 5a, participants complete the ReQoL -10 and
clinicians complete the HoNOS at a one-time point only. The questionnaire
booklet also includes the short Warwick and Edinburgh Well-Being Scale
(SWEMWBS) and CORE-10.
Fourteen NHS Trusts are involved in this stage. Data collection started in October 2017
and will continue until September 2018.
The stage is closed to new sites and recruitment of participants has closed. The mapping algorithm will be available soon.
STAGE 5B
The aim of Stage 5b is to validate the
ReQoL-20 in its final format, our previous published validation work used
the ReQoL-20 items as part of a larger set of 40 items.
Participants complete the ReQoL-10, the short Warwick and
Edinburgh Well-Being Scale (SWEMWBS) and CORE-10 at baseline. A follow-up
questionnaire is administered between 6-15 weeks after the baseline.
Fourteen NHS Trusts and one General Practice (GP) surgery are involved in this stage.
Data collection started in October 2017 and collection of baseline data will continue
until September 2018.
The stage is closed to new sites and recruitment of participants has closed. The results from this stage will be available soon.
