This activity will focus on “selecting” a quantitative measure (or measures) to be used in assessing the client and measuring outcome for your practice evaluation. Client Goals
Client Goals
Client Objectives
Interventions
Physical Abuse (struck girlfriend with open hand)
Reduce physical abuse
Client will attend a domestic violence group 1x a week for 12 weeks. Domestic Violence Group
Alcohol Abuse (has gotten drunk every night; anger outburst due to drinking)
Eliminate alcohol use
Client will attend AA meetings 2x a week for 12 weeks Alcoholics Anonymous Meetings (AA)
Anger (he threw girlfriend’s cell phone against the wall; hitting doors; kicked girlfriend’s car 2x) Eliminate aggression toward ex-girlfriend Client will receive 45 minutes of a CBT intervention for 12 weeks Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Above is the table that was used in an earlier Workshop which focused on determining practice (client) goals. You needed to create something similar for the earlier Assignment. For this assignment you may use the same table that you created for the earlier Assignment. All you need to do is look at the “Client Goals” column and decide how you plan to measure each one. For example, there are three client goals above that will need to be measured for my practice evaluation that include reducing physical abuse, eliminating alcohol use, and eliminating aggression.
Sometimes the best way to find suitable measurements for variables is to search the literature to see how other evaluators measured these same client goals. I find that the best way to display the information for this assignment is to use another table. Look at the table below to see how I displayed this information for the three client goals above:
Client Goals Plan to Measure the Goal
Reduce physical abuse
Have the girlfriend complete the Physical Abuse Questionnaire (PAQ)
Eliminate alcohol use
Have the client complete the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT)
Eliminate aggression toward ex-girlfriend
Ask the client’s girlfriend if the client is displaying fewer acts of aggression toward her
Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:
Design and support a research plan for clinical practice (PLO 13)
Analyze quantitative and qualitative research methods and findings (PLO 13)
Suggest implications for practice based on research findings (PO 13; ILO 5)
