This paper presents a new research tool: the KRSS (Questionnaire on Cop­ing with Ability Loss). The questionnaire is used to determine the stage of the process of coping with ability loss that the interviewee with acquired disability is at. The theo­retical premise derives from the classic work by Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (2007) on cop­ing with death, where several subsequent stages were identified: shock and denial; bargaining; depression; acceptance. Work on the questionnaire progressed in several steps: first, characteristic symptoms of each stage were described; then a set of state­ments linked to each stage was prepared; these were assessed by competent judges; next, the quality and number of statements were verified; a preliminary version of the questionnaire containing 39 sets was used to test 274 persons with acquired disabili­ties; the accuracy and reliability of each of the five scales and each of their positions was verified on the basis of the results; last, the final version of the questionnaire was produced, containing 27 statements. From this lengthy process was born a tool for diagnosing the current stage of coping with ability loss that is both short and simple to use. An accurate diagnosis of the coping stage may be a good basis for tailoring the professional activisation services to best fit the unique fonctioning of the individual in question.
