The Perceived Disability Scale (PDS) is a brief, self-report instrument developed to assess a patient's self-perception of his or her disability level. It is important to assess patient perceptions regarding their disability as a means of determining the degree to which cognitive factors may be influencing their disability level. The ten items composing the PDS were designed to provide inter-item consistency with single items measuring congruous content, thus allowing for discriminating responses. One use of this instrument is to identify patients who perceive particularly high or low levels of perceived disability when compared to others within their same patient population as well as across other disabled or rehabilitation populations. The purpose of this study is to report preliminary norms for the PDS and make initial comparisons to evaluate the clinical utility of the PDS in practice. Three hundred forty nine outpatients suffering from chronic pain (including headache and low back pain), spinal cord injury, or erectile dysfunction completed the PDS. Preliminary findings indicated that the PDS is a reliable and valid measure of perceived disability, and that there are significant PDS differences between all groups, F (4, 344) = 18.0, p < .01. Furthermore, patients with pending litigation and patients receiving workman's compensation income reported significantly higher PDS scores, F (2, 342) = 19.8, p < .01, and litigation, F (2, 334) = 11.1, p < .01. Additional research is needed to develop a wider normative database, and also address how PDS scores are influenced by many things, including cognitive distortion, client/staff relations, psychological treatment history, and medication use. Treatment implications of an individual's PDS score will unfold as additional research is completed.
