work and social adjustment scale (w&sas)

People’s problems sometimes affect their ability to do certain day-to-day tasks in their lives. To rate your problems look at each section and determine on the scale provided how much your problem impairs your ability to carry out the activity.

1.) work – if you are retired or choose not to have a job for reasons unrelated to your problem‚ please tick here

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

not at all slightly definitely markedly very severely

I cannot work

2.) home management– cleaning‚ tidying‚ shopping‚ cooking‚ looking after home/children‚ paying bills etc

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

not at all slightly definitely markedly very severely

3.) social leisure activities – with other people‚ e.g. parties‚ pubs‚ outings‚ entertaining etc

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

not at all slightly definitely markedly very severely

[quads id=5]

4.) private leisure activities– done alone‚ e.g. reading‚ gardening‚ sewing‚ hobbies‚ walking etc

0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

5.) family and relationships– form and maintain close relationships with others including the people that I live with

Work & social adjustment scale (W&SAS) – this is another IAPT measure that’s recommended for regular use. It assesses problems in functioning with work‚ home management‚ social leisure activities‚ private leisure activities‚ and family & relationships (all on 0 to 8 scales). The measure (along with other details) appears on page 66 of the “toolkit”. Again I’ve produced a downloadable handout as a Word doc & as a PDF file with associated scoring suggestions‚ again as a Word doc or a PDF file.
