ICF-basierte Messinstrumente zur Bedarfserfassung und Evaluation in der Behandlung von Patienten mit psychischen Störungen - ein systematisches Review

AIMS: The aim of the study is to provide a systematic overview of assessment instruments that refer conceptually to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and can be used in the context of mental disorders.

METHODS: We conducted a systematic literature search in the scientific databases (EMBASE, Medline, PsycInfo, PSYNDEX) and screened relevant conference proceedings since 2001. From abstracts fitting our inclusion criteria we reviewed full texts. Identified assessments were compared regarding their operationalization of the ICF.

RESULTS: Out of 440 identified abstracts we selected 8 assessment instruments for interviewer-, proxy- or self-assessment. Two were generic and six disease-specific scales. Differences pertain to the extent as well as coverage and operationalization of the ICF.

CONCLUSION: Existing instruments differ in psychometric properties and operationalization of the ICF. This review might help clinicians to select ICF-based assessments.
