Eingangsbelastung

Deutsch > Englisch Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften Psychologie evaluation of various psychotherapies
Bei etwa 60% der abgeschlossenen Therapien zeigte sich eine reliable Besserung gegenüber der Eingangsbelastung.

The meaning is clear (how serious the patient's symptoms were at the beginning of his therapy), but I don't know how this is best said in English psycholingo. The author's English abstract translates Belastungsscore as "load score," but "load at intake" or something like that sounds very strange for Eingangsbelastung.

Thanks!

Discussion

Susan Welsh (asker) Apr 26, 2017:
I changed my mind about this As I proceed through the article, I found the term used fairly often with a negative implication, such as: "In der Mixed Model-Analyse konnten 3 signifikante Prädiktor-Variablen identifiziert werden: ein Hauptschulabschluss, eine Angststörung als Hauptdiagnose und das Ausmaß der psychischen Eingangsbelastung." For this some translation with "distress" or "affliction" is better than a more neutral term like "condition."

agree philgoddard : It partly depends on what was wrong with the patient, but this fits anyway.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I decided on this because it has the most votes from reliable experts. I think Johanna's idea sounds good, for a more academic-sounding translation, although most of the relevant Google Scholar hits refer back to one article (Flückiger et al.). I will give the client both options. Thanks everybody!"

intake distress

Results indicate that early positive intra- and interpersonal session experiences as reported by patients and therapists after the sessions explained 58% of variance of a composite outcome measure, taking intake distress and early response into account.
Die Ergebnisse legen nahe, dass frühe positive intra- und interpersonellen Sitzungserfahrungen, welche von Therapeuten und Patienten nach der Sitzung berichtet wurden, 58% der Varianz eines gemischten Outcome Kriteriums – unter Berücksichtigung der Eingangsbelastung und frühen Therapieeffekten –vorhersagen. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10503307.2012.693...

"intake distress" + therapy/treatment googles fairly well, i.e.

Predicting psychotherapy outcome based on therapist skill: A ... treatment outcome an epiphenomenon of intake distress and early response?

Note from asker:
Actually I just found that "distress at intake" googles better.
