Dear Researchers,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to request your assistance in obtaining a copy of the 46-item Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS). Despite my efforts to locate the scale online, I have been unsuccessful in finding it. I would be grateful if you could provide me with a copy of the scale.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
[The Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale (PAIS) is a 46-item, multiple-domain, semistructured interview designed to assess the quality of a patient’s psychosocial adjustment to a current medical illness or the sequelae of a previous illness. With slight variations in format, the PAIS may also be used to measure the nature of spouses’, parents’ or other relatives’ adjustment to the index patient’s illness, or their perceptions of the patient’s adjustment to his/her own illness.]
