    • Is this the same as the Jeepers scale you developed? by Elaine Pettengill, RN, PhD, 11/19/96
      
      

I developed the Group Participation and Progress Review Scale (GPPRS), or "Jeepers," in 1991. The idea was born out of a need for a single form that could be utilized for both acute unit and subacute unit patients in an inpatient psychiatric unit. Since the patients quite frequently had setbacks that required repeated movement from a restricted to an open ward unit, this single document reduced paperwork while serving as a valuable visual record of change in behavior. I will send you further details as we have discussed.

Thanks Elaine
