Abstract
Objective: This study tested concordance between consumers' and providers' reports of personal goal setting and its relationship to self-reported goal attainment. Methods: Data are fromthe Israeli Psychiatric Rehabilitation Patient Reported Outcome Measurement project. Consumers (N=2,885) and the providers who were most knowledgeable about their care indicated two domains from a list of ten in which consumers had set goals during the previous year. Consumers reported on goal attainment in each domain. Results: A total of 2,345 consumers (82%) reported a personal goal. Overall, consumer-provider concordance reached 54%. Concordance was greatest in the employment (76%), housing (71%), and intimate relationship (52%) domains and lowest in family relationships (23%) and finances (15%). For most domains, concordance was less than 50%. On average, 75% of consumers reported having achieved their goals. Consumer-provider concordance was associated with goal attainment (p,.001). Conclusions: These findings emphasize the importance of agreed-upon goals and call for conceptualizing goal setting as an interpersonal process central to recovery.
