Abstract

The purpose of this study was to perform a validation of korean translation of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation Outcome Measure(CORE-OM). After CORE-OM was translated into korean langage, two steps procedures were adopted for analysis. Firstly the study seeks a way to confirm four factors of CORE-OM with 483 college students. But the results of confirmatory factory analysis didn't confirmed 4 factor. So the result of exploratory factor analysis reveled 3 factors of CORE-OM. Korean version of CORE-OM showed hight internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Next at two step participants included a non-clinical group of 120(general adult) and a clinical group of 113(mental hospital and addiction consult centers). There was strong differentiation of the clinical and non-clinical samples, with the clinical group scoring significantly more psychological problems than the non-clinical group. Also result of convergent validity of the CORE-OM with SWLS, K-AQ, CES-D, SCL-90-R. were strongly correlated. In conclusion, these findings suggest that the CORE-OM is a highly reliable, valid measure to assess effect in psychological treatments. The limitations and suggestions for feature research were also discussed.
