“…In occupational therapy, for example, research instruments have been developed to measure function and work ability. However, these instruments have usually been developed for patient groups where the degree of impaired work ability is much more extensive than in an average sick-leave group (5,6). Development of methods with a multidisciplinary approach is necessary for improving the assessment of the ability to work.…”

Several methodological aspects concerning research on sickness absence and disability pension are noteworthy, including: empirical research is being conducted within many different disciplines using various study designs; progress in theory development has been slow and weak; several outcome measures are used; terminology varies widely; and comparative research is difficult to conduct since insurance systems differ over time and among nations and employers.

“…In contrast, studies of the WRI and OPHI scales, which use a generic format to rate all items, have found that all the items share a common scale (20,21). However, raters using these two scales show greater differences in rater severity (20,21). Consequently, the property of the scale that appears to reduce rater differences also appears to result in items that are not scaled the same.…”

“…However, the present study also found that each OCAIRS item has its own unique scale (an unexpected but understandable finding given the unique criteria for rating each item).

However, raters using these two scales show greater differences in rater severity (20,21).…”

The Occupational Case Analysis Interview and Rating Scale (OCAIRS) was developed based on the Model of Human Occupation with the intention of assessing patients' occupational adaptation. Several studies examining the quality of this instrument have been completed; however, none have discussed the internal validity of the instrument or the appropriateness of the rating scale. The purpose of this study is to validate the internal validity of the OCAIRS and to test the quality of the rating scale. The results indicate that the OCAIRS is a valid measure of occupational adaptation. Each item was shown to have its own rating scale structure, however, all items together still shared the same five-point rating scale.

“…This is an assessment conceptually based on the MOHO and designed to identify psychosocial and environmental factors that influence a client's ability to find a job, remain in work or return to work after injury or disease. Since the 1990s the psychometric properties of the WRI have been investigated and developed through research (Forsyth et al, 2006;Fenger & Kramer, 2007;Ekbladh et al 2010a;Haglund, Karlsson, Kielhofner & Lai 1997;Lohss, Forsyth & Kottorp, 2012;Yngve & Ekbladh, 2015).…”

A description of how people with the experience of long-term sick leave resulting from common mental disorders perceive that psychosocial factors influence their work ability. The Worker Role Interview was conducted with 14 informants and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. The informants believed in their future work ability. Most had had to adjust their habits and routines to manage their working and private lives in relation to their mental health problems. Occupational therapists need more knowledge about how to strengthen clients' beliefs in their occupational abilities and how to organize their daily activities in a balanced fashion
