Abstract

Homework assignments are an essential part of cognitive-behavioural therapy, and are included in the majority of therapy manuals and frequently used in therapeutic practice. Despite this, little is known about problems with homework completion or possible influences on homework compliance. The aim of the present practitioner survey was to provide data on problems related to homework use and compliance. Furthermore, the relationships between different variables and homework compliance were examined. Data were collected by asking 77 cognitive-behavioural therapists to recall two individual patients. Therapists described homework tasks assigned to these patients and procedures of assignment as well as problems that arose during assignment and completion. The results suggested that problems during the assignation of a task as well as during completion regularly occur. Homework compliance was positively associated both with patients' motivation for therapy, outcome at a later stage of therapy, and the provision of a written note or homework sheets on the task. Regression analyses pointed to patient variables as most crucial for homework compliance. Implications for effective homework use in clinical practice are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
