Psychiatric Rehabilitation Association CPRP Exam - Topic 1 Question 9 Discussion

Rehabilitation readiness assessment evaluates an individual's preparedness to engage in goal-setting and recovery activities, focusing on their motivation and mindset. The CPRP Exam Blueprint (Domain IV: Assessment, Planning, and Outcomes) specifies that readiness assessment includes exploring the individual's commitment to change, as this reflects their willingness and motivation to pursue goals (Task IV.A.2: 'Assess individual's stage of change and readiness for goal-setting'). Option B (commitment to change) aligns with this, as it involves assessing factors like hope, confidence, and alignment with the Stages of Change model (e.g., contemplation or preparation stages) to determine readiness for rehabilitation.

Option A (natural support system) is part of resource assessment, not readiness. Option C (skills and resources) relates to functional and resource assessments. Option D (hopes and dreams) informs goal-setting but is broader than the specific focus on commitment to change. The PRA Study Guide highlights commitment as central to readiness assessment, supporting Option B.
