Objective: According to recent recommendations the Mini-ICF Rating for Limitations of Activities and Participation in Psychological Disorders (Mini-ICF-APP) should be used in the assessment of incapacity to work. However evidence from empirical research in the field is missing.
Methods: The application of the Mini-ICF-APP in the psychiatric assessment of 121 cases was analysed.
Results: A significant correlation between capacity to work and the duration of sick-leave with the Mini-ICF-APP sum-score was confirmed. The probability that criteria for disability insurance compensations was fulfilled according to the assessor increased with the Mini-ICF-APP-sum-score.
Conclusion: Our study provides first empirical evidence regarding the application of the Mini-ICF-APP in the psychiatric assessment of incapacity to work.
