Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS)
Source: Heartland Forgiveness ProjectDate Published: 1998Format: TextAnnotation: The Heartland Forgiveness Scale is based on the following definition and model of forgiveness: Forgiveness is defined as the framing of a perceived transgression such that one's responses to the transgressor, transgression, and sequelae of the transgression are transformed from negative to neutral or positive. The source of a transgression, and therefore the object of forgiveness, may be oneself, another person or persons, or a situation that one views as being beyond anyone's control (e.g., an illness, fate, or natural disaster). The process of forgiveness transforms a person's responses to the transgressor, transgression, and the negative consequences (i.e., the sequelae) of the transgression. Responses are a person's transgression- and transgressor-related thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The concept of responses has two components: valence and strength. Valence refers to whether the thoughts, feelings, or behaviors are negative, neutral, or positive. Strength refers to the intensity and intrusiveness of the thoughts, feelings, or behaviors; it can vary as a result of factors such as the perceived harm caused by the transgression. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

It also yields a Total Anxiety Scale (sum of the five anxiety subscales) and a Total Internalizing Scale (sum of all six subscales). Items are rated on a four-point Likert-scale from 0 (never) to 3 (always). Additionally, the Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-Parent Version (RCADS-P) similarly assesses parent report of youth's symptoms of anxiety and depression across the same six subscales. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.

Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire
Source: Prosthetics Research Study (PRS)Date Published: 1998Format: PDFAnnotation: The Prosthesis Evaluation Questionnaire (PEQ) was developed to fill the need for a comprehensive instrument for individuals with lower limb loss. The PEQ has been widely used in rehabilitation health service research settings. In recent years, other instruments have been developed that assess prosthetic use, factors facilitating prosthetic use, or the patient's ability to perform various skills. The PEQ remains a unique instrument with comprehensive multi-dimensional scales for evaluating both prosthesis function and prosthesis-related quality of life. This resource was identified by the NIH Disaster Research Response Program (DR2) for researchers looking for pre- and post-disaster data collection instruments.
