contents The Use of Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) Among the Psychotherapists of the Italian National Health Service Jessica Lampis Guido Rocca Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy ABSTRACTRoutine outcome monitoring (ROM) is one of the most important methodologies for evaluating client progress and improving the efficiency and quality of psychological assistance. Despite this, the culture of ROM use is struggling to establish itself in the Italian National Health System, shaping up as a sporadic and unevenly used practice. The main objective of the present study was to assess the frequency of use of different outcome monitoring measures and the attitudes toward ROM within psychological services of the Italian National Health System. The study involved 184 psychotherapist (75% female and 25% male) employed in the Italian Health System structures. Participants completed an anonymous questionnaire composed by Outcome monitoring use and Attitudes to ROM. The data reveal a general low‐frequency in ROM use, with the exception of the symptom monitoring measures. In our sample, the variables that significantly affect the level of ROM use are psychological capability and physical and social opportunity. The present study provides some empirical evidence to reflect on the importance of increasing the use of ROM within psychological services and to promote interventions to improve clinicians' positive attitudes toward ROM. 10.1002/cpp.70002 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
