Motivation in Stroke Rehabilitation

Four  different takes on it. At least they are doing better than the incredibly stupid idea of getting better at delivering bad news.    
My motivation is to prove how little my doctor actually knew and that it wasn't that hard to become an expert. But I wouldn't recommend my doctors non method at all. His sense of motivation must have been, keep every patient totally in the dark.

I can't find the questionnaire at all to see if it's anywhere close to valid.

ABSTRACT
Objective. To develop and validate a Stroke Rehabilitation Motivation
Scale (SRMS).
Methods. In stage 1, the 28-item SRMS was adapted from the Sports
Motivation Scale and tested for internal and inter-rater reliability in 18
patients. The 7 most reliable items were selected for the 7-item SRMS.
In stage 2, the 7-item SRMS was tested in 13 additional patients.
Results. In a group of 19 men and 12 women, the mean total score of
the 7-item SRMS was 24.1 (standard deviation, 4.6; range, 7-35). 25
patients had normal-to-high motivation (score of ≥21) and 6 had low
motivation (score of less than 20). Good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha
of >0.5) and inter-rater reliability (as measured by intra-class correlation
coefficient of >0.5) was demonstrated in the 28-item group (n=18).
There was less consistency in the 7-item sample; the Cronbach’s alpha
for intrinsic items was 0.61, but was only 0.27 for extrinsic items.
Conclusion. The 28-item SMRS showed good inter-rater reliability
and internal consistency. The reliability of the 28-item SRMS suggests
that adaptation of the SRMS from the Sports Motivation Scale was
successful.
