The Recovery Assessment Scale-Domains and Stages (RAS-DS) is a 38-item self-report instrument measuring recovery from serious mental illness. We explored the suitability of the RAS-DS for individuals with anxiety disorders. A parsimonious short form of the scale was developed. Participants with anxiety disorder symptoms (N = 295) completed the RAS-DS, DASS-21 and GAD-7. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the expected four-factor structure. Associations with related scales exhibited the expected pattern supporting construct validity in this population. The Recovery Assessment Scale-Short Form (RAS-SF) was derived by inspection of factor loadings and modification indices, yielding a 20-item scale with five items per subscale. Strong correlations between subscales confirmed the total score represented a valid overarching measure of recovery. The present study indicates that recovery is pertinent to individuals with anxiety disorders. Development of the short-form RAS-SF affords opportunity for routine measurement of recovery in populations with anxiety and other high prevalence conditions.

恢复评估量表的简短形式——领域和阶段：成人焦虑症的发展和验证

恢复评估量表-领域和阶段 (RAS-DS) 是一个 38 项的自我报告工具，用于衡量严重精神疾病的恢复情况。我们探讨了 RAS-DS 对焦虑症患者的适用性。开发了一种简约的简短形式的量表。有焦虑症症状的参与者（N = 295) 完成了 RAS-DS、DASS-21 和 GAD-7。验证性因素分析支持预期的四因素结构。与相关量表的关联表现出支持该人群结构效度的预期模式。恢复评估量表-简表 (RAS-SF) 是通过检查因子载荷和修正指数得出的，产生一个 20 个项目的量表，每个子量表有五个项目。子量表之间的强相关性证实了总分代表了有效的总体恢复量度。本研究表明，康复与焦虑症患者有关。简短形式的 RAS-SF 的开发为对焦虑和其他高患病率人群的康复情况进行常规测量提供了机会。
