Factor validation and Rasch analysis of the individual recovery outcomes counter.

CONCLUSIONS: A modified tool worked well for many, but not all, service users. The study suggests specific developments are required if the I.ROC is to maximise its' utility for service users and provide meaningful data for service providers. Implications for Rehabilitation Agencies and services working with people with mental health problems aim to help them with their recovery. The individual recovery outcomes counter has been developed and is used widely in Scotland to help service users track their progress to recovery. Using a large sample of routinely collected data we have demonstrated that a number of modifications are needed if the tool is to adequately measure recovery. This will involve consideration of the scoring system, item content and inclusion, and theoretical basis of the tool. PMID: 28893097 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
