Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adjustment Disorder New Module, ADNM+(Kazlauskas et al., 2018)<br><br>The primary outcome measure is the Adjustment Disorder New Module + for embitterment (ADNM8; Ben-Ezra et al., 2018), ten items self-report scale. It is derived from Adjustment Disorder New Module (ADNM+). The seven items measure the core symptoms alone, and the last item measures the functional impairment. Two items are added to this questionnaire to evaluate embitterment severity. The ADNM+ has shown excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha for the brief ADNM8 is 0.91). The Brief version of ADNM8 and the original version of the instrument are highly correlated (r=0.947) (Kazlauskas et al., 2018).
