“…Researchers within the field of psychiatric rehabilitation have made several attempts to operationalize the concept of rehabilitation readiness [2,14,15,20,21,25,35,48] with varying success. Due to a lack of consensus about how best to measure the psychiatric rehabilitation construct of readiness, researchers have turned increasingly to the stage of change measures developed by Prochaska and his associates at the University of Rhode Island [18,26,47].…”

Purpose/objectives: The study aims to confirm the factorial structure of the URICA-Vocational Counseling (URICA-VC), a scale that has been specifically designed for use in vocational rehabilitation programs. Furthermore, the study explores the clinical utility of the URICA-VC readiness construct within a sample of individuals with psychiatric disabilities seeking competitive employment. Research method/design: Using a sample of 296 individuals with psychiatric disabilities pooled from three separate programs, the author examined the construct validity of the scale using factorial structural analysis, discriminative validity and predictive validity tests. Results: The results confirm the URICA-VC three-factor solution. These three factors discriminate between individuals with varying levels of interest and involvement in vocational rehabilitation services. However, predictive validity is mixed. Conclusion/implications: The use of the URICA-VC for clinical decision-making and research purposes should be carefully considered given the degree of false negatives and positives generated by stage of change categories.

“…To a lesser degree, motivation has been linked to overall psychosocial functioning (Barch, 2005; Bowie et al, 2006). Ferdinandi et al (1998) studied motivation in terms of overall readiness for psychosocial rehabilitation; a positive relationship between rehabilitation readiness scores and functional outcomes in the areas of living, learning, working, and socializing was reported. In a study examining how motivation mediated the relationship between neuro-cognition and functioning, Nakagami et al (2008) found that intrinsic motivation was strongly related to psychosocial functioning.…”

This study investigated intrinsic motivation as a mediator of the relationship between clinical symptoms and functioning. The mediation model was tested with a sample of 166 adults with schizophrenia spectrum disorders attending psychosocial rehabilitation programs in a diverse urban community. Ethnic minority status was examined as a moderator of the mediation model. Motivation was measured using items reflecting intrapsychic drive. Symptoms were assessed with the expanded Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale and functioning with the Role Functioning Scale. Motivation was a significant mediator of the relationship between functioning and all symptom scores; fully mediating the relationship between functioning and negative, disorganized, and global symptoms, and partially mediating the relationship between positive symptoms and functioning. Motivation scores between ethnic minority and nonminority individuals differed significantly (p < 0.05), but no moderation effect was indicated. The strong mediation effect schizophrenia of motivation on the symptomsfunctioning relationship supports future work to translate findings into effective recovery-oriented services.
