Interpreting the Anxiety scale of the PRFS

This video demonstrates how a rehab staffperson can interpret the Anxiety scale of the Psychosocial Risk Factor Survey (PRFS) with a patient.

The PRFS is an assessment tool validated with patients in cardiopulmonary rehab programs that screens for the psychosocial risk factors:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Anger/Hostility
• Social Isolation
• Emotional Guardedness

It is specifically designed for use with cardiopulmonary patients.
