Wellbeing Measures: Consultation


We are seeking views on how mental health services can record and measure what difference they make in people's wellbeing.
If you have had treatment or support from mental health services in the NHS or through organisations like Healthy Minds, you are likely to have been asked questions about your feelings and how well you're doing on different areas in your life.

Below are two examples of these "outcome measures" that are currently being considered for use in mental health services throughout West Yorkshire (and possibly further afield).  We want to gather views so that we can tell NHS England what people think, and they can take this into account in deciding what measures to use.

Please take a look at the two example sets of wellbeing measures below and complete the survey questions further down the page.  It should only take a few minutes to complete the survey. You won't be able to fill in the wellbeing measures - they're just shown to illustrate the questions they ask.  We would like you to compare the two sets of measures and tell us what you think. You might want to consider how they look, how easy they are to fill in, and the language they use - but you can say as much as you want and all comments will be useful.
​
Please feel free to share this page with anyone who might be interested.  Please complete the survey by 11th April 2022. 
​We will update this page with the results from the survey and news of any developments as this work progresses. Thank you.

Set 1

This set asks people to rate how they have felt in the last week against 10 statements (plus one on physical health). 
​
​1. I found it difficult to get started with everyday tasks
​​2. I felt able to trust others
​​3. I felt unable to cope
​​4. I could do the things I wanted to do
​​5. I felt happy
​​6. I thought my life was not worth living
​​7. I enjoyed what I did
​​8. I felt hopeful about my future
​9. I felt lonely
​​10. I felt confident in myself
​
Please describe your physical health (problems with pain, mobility, difficulties caring for yourself or feeling physically unwell) over the last week.


​Each answer produces a score, and the total score indicates a range for clinicians to determine a person’s quality of life.

​This set was developed by clinicians and a group of "expert service users".
​You can find out more about how this set of measures was developed, and how it is used in practice, here.

Set 2

This set asks people to say how much they agree with 8 statements.  

The questions are asked at first contact with the service: this gives a starting point for each person.

People are asked to answer the questions again every so often (e.g. 3-monthly).  For these, there is a slightly different scale:

Much Better / Somewhat better /About the same / Somewhat worse / Much worse  
​This measures the difference in wellbeing over time.

This set of measures has been developed with people receiving support.  The group looked at lots of different types of measures that are often used and devised this set based on the similarities in those, and what they felt was most meaningful for their ongoing recovery.
