This brief self-report measure is used to screen for perceived somatic strain and stress-related physical symptoms. The Somatic Adaptation Rating Scale asks respondents to rate the intensity or frequency of common somatic complaints to support an overall impression of current physical adaptation.
The instrument contains 17 items and typically requires about 4 minutes to complete. It may be used in clinical or counseling settings to monitor change over time and to help contextualize physical symptom reports within broader psychosocial stress. When interpreted alongside clinical history and other assessment data, the Somatic Adaptation Rating Scale can support treatment planning and follow-up. (Holmes & Rahe)
