Zusammenfassung:Assessments that evaluate health care providers' communication in acute rehabilitation settings remain scarce; this article contributes to the knowledge base. To assess the reliability and validity of the Clinical Assessment of Modes-Therapist version (CAM-T) from the provider's perspective. Cross-sectional, psychometric study. Acute care and acute inpatient rehabilitation. Ninety-six clients and 32 providers (occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nursing). The CAM-T was psychometrically evaluated using classical test theory and Rasch analytic approaches. The findings offer strong evidence for the CAM-T's reliability and validity for evaluating overall communication and adequate evidence for evaluating individual communication modes. The CAM-T may be used by providers as a self-assessment of communication in occupational therapy and in associated rehabilitation professions. This article offers evidence in support of the CAM-T's reliability and validity for evaluating health care providers' communication with clients in acute rehabilitation settings. The CAM-T may be used to evaluate providers' overall communication and individual mode use as described in the Intentional Relationship Model.
