NFI is a brief, self-report inventory that can be completed by the patient or family member. Two forms — Patient Record Form and Family Record Form — allow comparison between two perspectives. Items on both forms use a five-point, Likert-type scale to measure the frequency of behaviors exhibited by the patient.
Benefits
- Identify areas of greatest and least concern.
- Write clinical reports and case summaries.
- Measure change as a function of treatment or natural recovery.
Features
NFI's 76 items are organized into six independent scales reflecting symptoms and problems commonly encountered following the onset of neurological disability:
- Depression
- Somatic
- Memory/Attention
- Communication
- Aggression
- Motor
