Validation du Questionnaire de fonctionnement social (QFS), un autoquestionnaire mesurant la fréquence et la satisfaction des comportements sociaux d'une population adulte psychiatrique

The QFS presented here is a brief, simple and easy to administer self-rating scale that displays satisfactory psychometric properties. It seems to be a valuable instrument for the monitoring of social functioning in psychiatric patients which, from a therapeutic point of view, may have a clear impact as it sets up expectation of change and allows both to reality test patients and therapists beliefs about the presence of progress or not and to identify if therapy is working on this specific outcome domain. Though, to date, the administration of the QFS to other populations and treatment modalities requires further investigation.
