The Psychometric Properties of the Italian Version of the Reintegration to Normal Living Index in Complex Patients

Since the post-acute phase, patients have occupational needs related to social reintegration, that improve the autonomy, social roles in family, at work and in the community. Unmet needs could lead to a lower level of social reintegration. Healthcare professionals should be able to recognize the level of social reintegration of complex patients discharged from the Physical Medicine Rehabilitation (PRM) unit with the aim to identify those who need intervention aimed at improving social reintegration. The preliminary Italian version of the RNL index (RNLI) will describe the social reintegration level of the target population, once its psychometric properties will be tested.
