摘要
Objective: To establish the validity of the Orientation Log (O-Log) by comparison with the Galveston Orientation and Amnesia Test (GOAT). Design: Correlation of daily measures of orientation. Setting: Acute rehabilitation hospital. Subjects: Sixty-eight inpatients receiving rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury (TBI). Primary measures: The O-Log and GOAT. Results: There was a significant correlation between the GOAT and O-Log (r = .901, P < .001). A cutoff of 25 on the O-Log was found to be comparable with the 75 cutoff on the GOAT. The scales were equivalent in measuring duration of posttraumatic amnesia. Conclusions: The O-Log is a valid measure of orientation for people with TBI and offers some advantages in administration over the GOAT.
