Abstract: Aim and objectives To evaluate the reliability of the Mini‐SCOPE scale through interitem consistency and test–retest consistency, as well as the initial correlation with outcome measures of recovery. Background Adapted from a UK, Social and Communities Opportunities Profile (Mini‐SCOPE) is a short version of an social inclusion measurement for English‐speaking persons in recovery (PIR) in Singapore. Prior concept mapping sets the stage for this reliability study. Design This study adopted a nonexperimental, pre‐ and postdesign to validate the psychosocial measurement tool for community services. Method Convenient sampling was conducted at the various designated clinics. A total of 170 voluntary participants from psychiatric outpatient clinics were recruited for this study. It evaluated the 4‐week interval test–retest reliability of the Mini‐SCOPE. “AGREE” equator checklist was completed to guide the reporting of clinical practice. “See Supporting Information File S1.” Result Outcome demonstrated that the Mini‐SCOPE scale has good strength of reliability. Conclusion This study showed that the Mini‐SCOPE measurement has the potential to be used for programme evaluation in mental health settings. Relevance to clinical practice Applicable to nurses and other mental health professionals to consider the social and wellness aspects of the patients in their care when planning appropriate services.
