Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Adjustment Disorder - New Module 20 (ADNM-20)
Time Frame: 4-week
The ADNM-20 is a self-report assessment for adjustment disorder. It is aimed at adults who feel burdened by a critical life event. The ADNM-20 consists of two parts: an event list for recording stress and an item list for recording the resulting symptoms. In the event list, all burdens during the last two years are recorded and the subjectively highest burdens are named. On the basis of the item list, preoccupations and mismatch, the main symptom groups of the adaptation disorder according to ICD-11, as well as the concomitant symptoms of avoidance, depressiveness, anxiety, impulse control problems and functional impairment are recorded. The scale ranges from 0 (no stress) to 80 (high exposure).
