The staff observation aggression scale (SOAS; Palmstierna & Wistedt, 1987) was developed to measure nature, number, as well as severity of aggressive incidents. In 1999, a revised version of the SOAS (i.e. the SOAS-R), with a more fine-grained severity scoring system, was presented. In the current paper, the development and testing of the revised severity scores of the SOAS-R are addressed.
In two consecutive studies, staff members recorded inpatient aggression on SOAS-R forms, but also expressed their opinion about the severity of incidents on 100 mm visual analogue scales (VASs). Correlations were calculated between SOAS and SOAS-R severity scores, on the one hand, and clinical judgements of severity, on the other.
In both studies, revised SOAS severity scores were more closely related to clinical judgements of aggression severity than the original ones.
The SOAS-R is a promising tool for research on the prevalence, severity and determinants of inpatient aggression.
工作人员观察攻击量表（SOAS；帕尔姆斯蒂纳和维斯泰特，1987年）旨在测量攻击事件的性质、数量以及严重程度。1999年，推出了SOAS的修订版（即SOAS-R），其具有更精细的严重程度评分系统。在本文中，探讨了SOAS-R修订后的严重程度评分的制定和测试。
在两项连续的研究中，工作人员使用SOAS-R表格记录住院患者的攻击行为，同时还在100毫米视觉模拟量表（VAS）上表达他们对事件严重程度的看法。一方面计算SOAS和SOAS-R严重程度评分之间的相关性，另一方面计算严重程度的临床判断之间的相关性。
在两项研究中，修订后的SOAS严重程度评分与攻击严重程度的临床判断比原始评分更密切相关。
SOAS-R是研究住院患者攻击行为的患病率、严重程度和决定因素的一个有前景的工具。
