title: [Replication of the psychometric properties of the ICF-MentalA&P].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The ICF provides a useful basis for the description of the mulitfacetted psychosocial impairments for patients with mental disorders. The objectives of this study were the development and psychometric testing of a self-rating instrument that quantifies activity and participation for patients with mental disorders (ICF-MentalA&P).
  
  
  METHODS
  The psychometric testing of the 31-item version of the ICF-MentalA&P including a sample of n=1270 patients in psychosomatic rehabilitation treatment are described.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The ICF-MentalA&P contains 31 items comprising the subscales functioning, communication, mobility, relationships, leisure and interaction. These were validated by confirmatory factor analysis and showed good internal consistencies.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The ICF-MentalA&P is a reliable and valid instrument that measures activities and participation of patients with mental disorders using self-ratings on the basis of the ICF.
