title: [Self assessment of the functional level in a group of psychiatric patients on admission and discharge. Aspects of the reliability of the Sickness Impact Profile].
abstract: A comparison was undertaken between a method of personal assessment of the functional level and the health related quality of life, the Sickness Impact Profile (SIP) and a method based on observers, the Nurses' Observation Scale for Inpatient Evaluation, in a little group of mentally ill patients. This revealed good sensitivity as regards the registered effect of treatment and fairly good agreement between the results. SIP has gradually been demonstrated to be a well proved and widely employed method within many medical specialties with both internal and external validity.
