title: [Adaptive Performance in Vocational Rehabilitation - A Standardized Self-assessment Questionnaire (ReHadapt) for Application in RehaAssessment® and RehaConsulting].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  A rehabilitation training requires the ability to adapt to a changed living and working environment. Qualitative content analysis and quantitative studies were conducted to (1(st)) provide a definition of adaptive performance (AP) in vocational rehabilitation. (2(nd)) A self-assessment questionnaire (ReHadapt) to measure AP was developed and (3(rd)) its validity was proved by the use of exploratory (N1=344) and confirmatory factor analysis (N2=301; N3=254) for categorical variables.
  
  
  RESULTS
  AP is a multidimensional construct which can be assessed by the ReHadapt questionnaire. The ReHadapt questionnaire consists of 30 items which are categorized to the 6 dimensions training-related AP, subject-related AP, health-related AP, social AP towards other participants, social AP towards trainers and identification with future occupation. As expected, reliability (0,81≤Cronbach's Alpha≤0,95) and validity are confirmed. Adaptive Performance predicts return to work mediated by the health-related quality of life.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Because of its economy and applicability in everyday work-life the ReHadapt can be used for diagnostic and training in RehaAssessment(®) and RehaConsulting.
