Measurement of Activity Participation for Persons with Schizophrenia Living in the Community

Listed in Harvard Dataverse

The purpose of this study was to develop the Activity Participation and Restriction Questionnaire (APRQ) for persons with schizophrenia living in the community.

Description

There are two parts in this self-report questionnaire. In the first part, participants were asked to nominate up to five activities that are currently engaged in and with personal meanings.

Factual information of each activity such as frequency and duration of participation was obtained, and subjective feelings while participation were rated in terms of positive affects, negative affects, sense of involvement, and self-worth. In the second part, participants listed up to five activities which they were restricted from participation. Perceived reasons of restriction were obtained and subjective feelings of being restricted from participation were rated in terms of expected involvement and possible negative affects.

A total of 324 schizophrenia patients provided valid data in this study. Reliability analysis showed that the internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach’s α) were acceptable (higher than 0.80). Content validity was supported by several expert occupational therapists.

Construct validity was supported by the result of confirmatory factor analysis in which a four-factor structure and a two-factor structure were existed in the first part and the second parts of the questionnaire, respectively. Concurrent validity was supported by the correlations among APRQ and related criterion variables, including depression, social support, life satisfaction, and flow experiences. The APRQ appears to be an adequate measurement for assessing activity participation in persons with schizophrenia living in the community.
