A convenience sample of 101participants diagnosed with psychiatric illness were recruited from fourday-care wards in northern and eastern Taiwan.
The results of the Raschanalysis showed that the ACIS-C items coalesced to form a measureof communication/interaction and the 4-point rating scale functioned asintended.
The ACIS-C differentiated participants into six levels of communicationand interaction skills.
The findings support the conclusionthat the ACIS-C is a valid and sensitive tool when used with Chineseclients. Moreover the study supports the generalizability of the Modelof Human Occupation concept of communication and interaction skillsto an Eastern context.
