目的评价工作与社会适应量表（WSAS）的信度和效度。信度分析包括量表内部一致性、重测和平行表.收敛和标准效度进行了检查方面的障碍severity.Results克朗巴赫的内部量表一致性的措施范围从0.70到0.94。重测相关系数为0.73。交互式语音响应管理的WSAS给临床医生的访谈相关性为0.81和0.86。WSAS与抑郁、强迫症状的相关系数分别为0.76和0.61，WSAS评分对患者的抑郁、强迫症状的严重程度和治疗相关性变化敏感。结论WSAS是一种简单、可靠、有效的功能损害测量方法，它是一个敏感和有用的结果指标，提供了在研究和疾病之间进行易于解释的比较的可能性。利益WSAS的版权归我所有。M.

Background Patients' perspectives concerning impaired functioning provide important information.Aims To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Work and Social Adjustment Scale (WSAS).Method Data from two studies were analysed. Reliability analyses included internal scale consistency, test - retest and parallel forms. Convergent and criterion validities were examined with respect to disorder severity.Results Cronbach's a measure of internal scale consistency ranged from 0.70 to 0.94. Test-retest correlation was 0.73. Interactive voice response administrations of the WSAS gave correlations of 0.81 and 0.86 with clinician interviews. Correlations of WSAS with severity of depression and obsessive compulsive disorder symptoms were 0,76 and 0.61, respectively The scores were sensitive to patient differences in disorder severity and treatment-related change.Conclusions The WSAS is a simple, reliable and valid measure of impaired functioning, It is a sensitive and useful outcome measure offering the potential for readily interpretable comparisons across studies and disorders.Declaration of interest The copyright in WSAS is owned by I.
