A comparison of scales for assessing rehabilitation patients

Br J Psychiatry. 1987 Oct:151:520-2. doi: 10.1192/bjp.151.4.520.

Abstract

Twenty-four chronic schizophrenic patients were assessed by the Morningside Rehabilitation Status Scale, the Krawiecka Scale, and the Social Adjustment Scale by Self-Report. Inter-rater correlations suggest that the MRSS can be used by a rater with little previous knowledge of the patient. Between-scale correlations suggest the three scales assess somewhat different dimensions. A standard approach to rehabilitation assessment is suggested.
