Deutsche Übersetzung und Erstvalidierung

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924/a000164

Zusammenfassung. Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Erprobung und Validierung einer deutschen Version der Dialectical Behavior Therapy Ways of Coping Checklist (DBT-WCCL, Neacsiu, Rizui, Vitaliano, Lynch & Linehan, 2010), einem Fragebogen zur Erhebung der Häufigkeit der Nutzung von Skills, wie sie im Rahmen der Dialektisch-Behavioralen Therapie (DBT) vermittelt werden. Hierzu bearbeiteten 150 Patientinnen mit Borderline Persönlichkeitsstörung eine deutschsprachige Übersetzung, sowie Fragebögen zur Symptomschwere. Weitere 40 Patientinnen füllten die DBT-WCCL im Rahmen einer stationären DBT zu 5 Messzeitpunkten aus. Die drei Faktoren der Originalversion ließen sich replizieren. Weiterführende Analysen zeigten gute interne Konsistenzen und Retest-Reliabilitäten. Erwartungsgemäße Zunahmen auf der Subskala zur Erfassung von Skillsanwendung während der stationären DBT sowie erwartungsgemäße Zusammenhänge der DBT-WCCL mit der Skills- und DBT-Erfahrung geben erste Hinweise auf die Validität des Verfahrens.


The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Ways of Coping Checklist (DBT-WCCL): German Translation and First Validation

Abstract. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a German adaptation of the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Ways of Coping Checklist (DBT-WCCL), a self-report questionnaire that measures the frequency of adaptive and maladaptive skills used to manage difficult situations over the past month. The adaptive skills are derived from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) but do not include DBT-specific language and can be assessed independent of this treatment. In all, 150 patients with borderline personality disorder completed the German DBT-WCCL adaptation and questionnaires assessing symptom severity. A different sample of 40 patients completed the questionnaire at five different time points while undergoing inpatient DBT. The three-factor structure of the English version was replicated and confirmed. Psychometric analyses indicated good internal consistency and test–retest reliability for all three subscales. Supporting the construct validity of the measure, skills use, as measured with the DBT-WCCL, increased significantly during inpatient DBT. In addition, using skills was significantly positively correlated with prior experience with DBT and perceived use of DBT skills. In conclusion, these results offer preliminary support for the validity and reliability of the German adaptation of the DBT-WCCL.
