Abstract
The Ward Daily Behaviour Scale is a new rating instrument that can be used to measure all the daily noteworthy behaviour of patients of various ages and diagnoses on psychiatric wards. The reliability and validity of the scale were tested on 40 patients. This instrument proved to be both reliable and valid for use on adult acute in-patient wards. The scale will be a valuable tool in a wide range of ward-based studies.
