Résumé

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is considered the first-line psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Substantial research supports the effectiveness of ERP, yet a notable portion of patients do not fully respond while others experience relapse. Understanding poor outcomes such as these necessitates further research. This study investigated the role of patient adherence to ERP tasks in concentrated exposure treatment (cET) in a sample who had previously not responded to treatment or relapsed. The present study included 163 adults with difficult-to-treat OCD. All patients received cET delivered during four consecutive days. Patients' treatment adherence was assessed using the Patient EX/RP Adherence Scale (PEAS-P) after the second and third day of treatment. OCD severity was evaluated at post-treatment, 3-month follow-up, and 1-year follow-up by independent evaluators. PEAS-P scores during concentrated treatment were associated with OCD-severity at post-treatment, 3-month follow-up, and 1-year follow-up. Moreover, PEAS-P scores predicted 12-month OCD severity adjusting for relevant covariates. Adherence also predicted work- and social functioning at 1-year follow-up. These results indicate that ERP adherence during the brief period of cET robustly relates to improvement in OCD symptoms and functioning in both the short and long term. Assessing adherence might identify patients at risk of poor outcomes, while improving adherence may enhance ERP for treatment resistant patients. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02656342.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is considered the first-line psychotherapy for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Substantial research supports the effectiveness of ERP, yet a notable portion of patients do not fully respond while others experience relapse. Understanding poor outcomes such as these necessitates further research. This study investigated the role of patient adherence to ERP tasks in concentrated exposure treatment (cET) in a sample who had previously not responded to treatment or relapsed.
METHOD METHODS
The present study included 163 adults with difficult-to-treat OCD. All patients received cET delivered during four consecutive days. Patients' treatment adherence was assessed using the Patient EX/RP Adherence Scale (PEAS-P) after the second and third day of treatment. OCD severity was evaluated at post-treatment, 3-month follow-up, and 1-year follow-up by independent evaluators.
RESULTS RESULTS
PEAS-P scores during concentrated treatment were associated with OCD-severity at post-treatment, 3-month follow-up, and 1-year follow-up. Moreover, PEAS-P scores predicted 12-month OCD severity adjusting for relevant covariates. Adherence also predicted work- and social functioning at 1-year follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
These results indicate that ERP adherence during the brief period of cET robustly relates to improvement in OCD symptoms and functioning in both the short and long term. Assessing adherence might identify patients at risk of poor outcomes, while improving adherence may enhance ERP for treatment resistant patients.
