Functional impairment scales are important to assess Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) patients. The present study aims to evaluate the reliability, internal consistency, validity and factorial structure of the Disability Profile/Clinician-Rate (DP) scale, as well as to present an interview-guide to support its application by clinicians. University students (n = 173) of both genders participated in the study (SAD = 84 and Non-SAD = 89), with ages ranging between 17 and 35 years, systematically diagnosed. The SAD group presented more difficulties when compared to the Non-SAD group. The DP presented, for the SAD group, internal consistency of 0.68 (lifetime) and 0.67 (last two weeks). Inter-rater reliability varied from 0.75 to 0.93. Two factors were extracted and the correlation among such factors and the Social Phobia Inventory subscales presented association between fear and avoidance symptoms and the functional impairments. The scale presents good psychometric properties and can contribute to the assessment of functional impairments.
功能障碍量表对于评估社交焦虑障碍（SAD）患者非常重要。本研究旨在评估残疾概况/临床医生评定（DP）量表的信度、内部一致性、效度和因子结构，并提供一个访谈指南，以支持临床医生使用。本研究纳入了来自不同性别的大学生（n=173），年龄在 17 至 35 岁之间，进行了系统诊断。与非 SAD 组相比，SAD 组在各方面的表现都更差。对于 SAD 组，DP 的内部一致性为 0.68（终身）和 0.67（过去两周）。评分者间信度为 0.75 至 0.93。提取了两个因子，这些因子与社会恐惧症清单子量表之间的相关性表明，恐惧和回避症状与功能障碍之间存在关联。该量表具有良好的心理测量学特性，可用于评估功能障碍。
