[Goal attaining scale. Reliability and practical experiences in 397 psychiatric treatment courses. 2: Practical experiences with a simplified version of Goal Attainment Scaling in clinical practice and intermediate length rehabilitational treatment].
Goal attainment scaling (GAS) measures outcome dependent on the degree, to which patients attain, what was thought to be their potential. Can this method be simplified by giving up to detail in advance, what would be "much more" and "much less" than the expected outcome? In 339 psychiatric treatment courses of inpatients, GAS was compared with a traditional clining rating. The patients did least agree to goals, their therapists wrote down concerning "social contacts" and "coping". The simplified form of GAS turned out to be more vulnerable to wrong prognoses. The influence of the vocational experience of those, who constructed the scales was tested as well. Despite methodological shortcomings GAS has evident therapeutic qualities: how else can we evaluate, how much of their potential our patients realize?
