Consequently, it was necessary to understand how this impacted students' outcomes.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Aims</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This evaluation aimed to (1) understand how the therapeutic outcomes of a UCS compared with established norms in UK UCS literature, and (2) understand whether delivering therapy online affected student outcomes compared with UK norms from in-person therapy.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Method</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Sessional outcome data from 627 students who attended the UCS in the 2020/2021 academic year were gathered. Descriptive analyses of students' initial clinical data (determined by the CCAPS-34) were conducted. Paired sample <i>t</i>-tests determined differences between the pre- and post-therapy scores. The effect size of this difference was derived.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Students presented with high levels of academic distress, social anxiety, generalised anxiety and depression. The initial severity of mental health concerns was lower than that reported in previous literature. The largest improvements were evidenced for depression and general anxiety and 25% (<i>n</i> = 112) of students achieved reliable reductions in distress. Compared with existing literature, the UCS showed similar levels of improvement over therapy. It is suggested that remote therapy increased service accessibility.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The delivery of remote therapy produced results consistent with norms in the UK data, highlighting the effectiveness of online therapy for university students. Further large-scale evaluations of student outcomes from remotely delivered therapy are recommended.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46997,"journal":{"name":"Counselling & Psychotherapy Research","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/capr.12821","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To date, the literature on the perception of ROM implementation has extensively focussed on therapists and clients; hence, there is limited information available about the perceptions of supervisors in services that provide training for psychological interventions.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>This qualitative study explored supervisors' expectations and experiences with a web-based ROM system in a university psychotherapy service. Through semi-structured interviews and framework analysis, two senior clinical supervisors' perspectives were examined before and after ROM implementation.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Expectations highlighted the need for clinically useful information, adaptability and user-friendly interfaces. Supervisors anticipated using ROM data for case analysis, training and institutional learning. Following the implementation, supervisors recognised the system's utility in case supervision, enhancing understanding and facilitating learning processes. Perceived challenges included the potential misuse of information, client resistance and technological issues, underscoring the importance of ongoing communication and training during the implementation process. Additionally, supervisors provided some recommendations, such as enhancing system usability, providing comprehensive training, improving client engagement, refining data collection methods and conducting ongoing evaluation of the implementation process and promoting effective communication with clients.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>These findings align with previous research, emphasising the significance of system adaptability and user-friendliness for effective ROM utilisation. Supervisors play a crucial role in fostering collaboration, providing feedback and integrating ROM into supervision. Overall, these insights contribute to refining our ROM implementation processes, as well as guiding future ROM adoption in similar centres interested in involving supervisors.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":46997,"journal":{"name":"Counselling & Psychotherapy Research","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/capr.12826","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142862262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
