- Background: Psychological treatments provide many benefits for patients with psychiatric disorders, but research also suggest that negative effects might occur from the interventions involved. The Negative Effects Questionnaire (NEQ) has previously been developed as a way of determining the occurrence and characteristics of such incidents, consisting of 32 items and six factors. However, the NEQ has yet to be examined using modern test theory, which could help to improve the understanding of how well the instrument works psychometrically. Aims: The current study investigated the reliability and validity of the NEQ from both a person and item perspective, establishing goodness-of-fit, item bias, and scale precision. Method: The NEQ was distributed to 564 patients in five clinical trials at post-treatment. Data was analyzed using Rasch analysis, i.e., a modern test theory application. Results: 1) the NEQ exhibits fairness in testing across sociodemographics, 2) shows comparable validity for a final and condensed scale of 20 instead of 32 items, 3) uses a rating scale that advances monotonically in steps of 0-4, and 4) is suitable for monitoring negative effects on an item-level. Conclusion: The NEQ is proposed as a useful instrument for investigating negative effects in psychological treatments, and its newer shorter format could facilitate its use in clinical and research settings. However, further research is needed to explore the relationship between negative effects and treatment outcome, as well as to test it in more diverse patient populations

Can the National Repository of Sweden Be Utilized for In-Depth Bibliometric Analysis: Unlocking Insights into Swedish Research
- 2024

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Investigating national repositories is crucial as they play a pivotal role in shaping the accessibility and interconnectedness of global research. This investigation aims to offer insights into the impact and effectiveness of SwePub, Sweden's national bibliographic database. Through bibliometric exploration spanning 8-years (2015-2022), this study employs SwePub's data to unveil publication trends in open access, shedding light on the preferences of Sweden-affiliated researchers in disseminating their research through non-open access, gold open access, and green open access channels. This paper advocates for a more distinct classification of open access beyond a binary categorization, providing a detailed representation of Sweden's contributions to various forms of open access, such as gold and green open access, and their impact on disseminating academic knowledge. The findings on international and national collaboration stress the importance of global and national networks in collaborative research. However, data retrieval requires integrating citation data from databases like Open Alex to enhance in-depth bibliometric analysis. This paper concludes by proposing the transformation of SwePub into a more comprehensive resource, elevating its utility for institutional or national-level bibliometric analysis. The results contain insightful information for academic institutions, policymakers, and the scholarly community.
