Abstract
- Objective: The Sydney Psychosocial Reintegration Scale for Children (SPRS-C) assesses psychosocial functioning in children with acquired brain injury (ABI). This article aims to: (1) describe normative data for the parent-rated SPRS-C and, (2) evaluate the discriminant validity of the SPRS-C. Methods: For Aim 1, participants were parents of typically developing children (TDC) aged 5–14 years (N = 200). For Aim 2, participants with ABI were aged 5–14 years (n = 26). A matched group of TDC was sampled from the larger normative sample to serve as a control group (n = 26). Results: For Aim 1, SPRS-C scores across the 10 age-bands were in the higher ranges. Correlation coefficients of SPRS-C total score with child's age and parent occupational skill level were not statistically significant. For Aim 2, SPRS-C scores for the ABI group were significantly lower than the control group. Conclusions: These data provide a guide for clinical interpretation of the SPRS-C for measuring psychosocial functioning in children with ABI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
