The Role Activity Performance Scale (RAPS) reliably measures functional levels in psychiatric patients. This validated tool aids in occupational therapy assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Occupational Therapy
  • Psychometrics

Background:

  • The Role Activity Performance Scale (RAPS) assesses functional levels across various life roles.
  • It serves as an instrument to evaluate treatment impacts on psychiatric patients.
  • RAPS is applicable in diagnosis, treatment, and discharge planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the Role Activity Performance Scale (RAPS).
  • To present reliability and validity data for the RAPS.
  • To support the clinical and research utility of the RAPS.

Main Methods:

  • Developed the RAPS with 12 subscales for life role evaluation.
  • Conducted interrater reliability and validity testing on 30 psychiatric patients.
  • Compared RAPS scores with established psychosocial rating scales.

Main Results:

  • Achieved interrater correlations above .80 for subscales and total scores.
  • Demonstrated statistically significant reliability.
  • Showed strong correlations between RAPS and other psychosocial scales.

Conclusions:

  • Preliminary psychometric evidence supports RAPS development and use.
  • RAPS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing psychiatric patient functioning.
  • The scale is beneficial for clinical practice and research.
