Abstract

As rated by both the Remotivation Technicians (RmTs) and the Ward Attendants (WAs) the patients on a 64-bed female disturbed ward showed a significant increase in scores on a Likert-type behavior rating scale between the first and last sessions in a series of Remotivation group meetings. Although they seem somewhat ambiguous, the Initial Evaluation Rating Scale and the Progress Report Rating Scale appear to have adequate reliability and validity as measures of behavioral change when used by ward personnel. Modifications of this scale to include areas which reflect changes in participation of a non-verbal nature would increase its value and appears to be the next logical step. As presently used these scales provide an index of change that can be used to compare results obtained in various hospitals using the Remotivation Technique.
