Abstract
This article describes the development of an instrument, the Family Resource Questionnaire, designed to measure dimensions of social support after stroke. Interrater reliability and concurrent validity was established with 48 consecutive stroke admissions onto a rehabilitation service. Effects of socially desirable responses were minimized with an interview protocol. Moderate validity and high reliability were found.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
