Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary outcome measure will be costs, measured with the Trimbos/iMTA questionnaire for psychiatric disorders, according to a societal perspective, thus involving medical costs and productivity costs. Furthermore, depressive and anxiety symptoms will be measured with the Patient Health Questionnaire- 9 (PHQ-9) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) respectively. Since empowerment of patients is also an aim of this intervention, this will be assessed using the Dutch empowerment questionnaire (Boevink, Kroon, & Giesen, 2009). Possible confounders such as demographic variables and chronic diseases will be measured at baseline. Measurements will take place at baseline, after 6 months and after 18 months. Considering the qualitative study, experiences of patients will be examined using semi-structured, individual interviews, three months after ending the self management protocol.
