Abstract
Kortte KB, Falk LD, Castillo RC, Johnson-Greene D, Wegener ST. The Hopkins Rehabilitation
Engagement Rating Scale: development and psychometric properties.
Objective
To conduct an initial investigation of the psychometric properties of the Hopkins
Rehabilitation Engagement Rating Scale (HRERS), a 5-item, clinician-rated measure
developed to quantify engagement in acute rehabilitation services.
Design
We used a cross-sectional design to conduct correlational and multivariate analyses
to establish the measure’s internal consistency, interrater reliability, construct
validity, and criterion validity.
Setting
Acute inpatient rehabilitation in 3 metropolitan hospitals.
Participants
A total of 206 subjects with spinal cord injury, ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, amputation,
or hip or knee replacement.
Interventions
Not applicable.
Main Outcome Measures
The HRERS, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Brief Symptom Inventory, Levine’s
Denial of Illness Scale, Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique, and FIM
instrument.
Results
The HRERS has good internal consistency (α=.91) and interrater reliability (intraclass
correlation coefficient, .73) and represents a unidimensional construct. It correlated
negatively with symptoms of depression (r=−.24, P<.01), higher ratings of denial of illness (r=−.30, P<.001), and self-rated negative affect (r=−.23, P<.01), and correlated positively with self-rated positive affect (r=.36, P<.001) and level of functioning 3 months postdischarge (r=.22, P<.01).
Conclusions
The HRERS is a valid and reliable measure of rehabilitation engagement that relates
to intermediate-term functional outcomes.
