title: [Psychoeducation for depression--features of interventions and therapeutic competencies].
abstract: Psychoeducation is an effective treatment method for depression disorders. In the present paper, we discuss the development, measurement and validation of features and competencies in psychoeducational interventions (SK-P). 30 videos showing sessions of psychoeducation for the treatment of recurring depression constituted the basis of the assessment. The therapists were assessed by 2 independent raters in regard to their psychoeducational competencies. Factor analysis revealed a one-factor factor structure. The scale composed of 8 items had high internal consistency (α=0.92) as well as interrater reliability (ICC=0.87). Furthermore, a correlation was found between the therapists' competencies and the quality of the therapeutic relationship as seen by their patients (r=0.46). The SK-P is therefore a promising instrument for reviewing competencies of therapists treating depression with psychoeducation.
