Abstract

Background: The demand for employment of standardized evaluations is increasing. In Denmark, approximately 25% of all occupational therapists (OTs) are trained to use the standardized occupational therapy instrument Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS).

Aims: To investigate the use of AMPS within Danish occupational therapy practice and determine factors supporting or hindering the use.

Material and methods: An online cross-sectional survey was conducted among OTs from various settings.

Results: Overall, 844 calibrated OTs participated in the survey. Of these, 540 (64%) met the inclusion criteria and 486 (90%) completed the questionnaire. Forty percent of the participants used the AMPS in a standardized way during a one-month period and 56% reported being dissatisfied with the low number of AMPS evaluations completed. Five supporting and nine hindering factors were found to significantly influence the use of standardized AMPS evaluations.

Conclusions/significance: Despite demands for standardized evaluations, the AMPS is not regularly used in a standardized way within Danish occupational therapy practice. Use of AMPS in clinical practice seems to be facilitated by an acknowledgement from the management and the OT's ability to develop habits and routines. Time restraints were reported, however, time to conduct evaluations was not a statistically significant influencing factor.

丹麦职业治疗实践中运动和过程技能的评估。

背景:标准化评价人员的就业需求日益增加。在丹麦，大约25%的职业治疗师(OTs)接受过使用标准化职业治疗工具运动和过程技能评估(AMPS)的培训。目的:调查丹麦职业治疗实践中AMPS的使用情况，并确定支持或阻碍其使用的因素。材料和方法:对来自不同背景的OTs进行在线横断面调查。结果:总共有844名经校准的OTs参与了调查。其中540例(64%)符合纳入标准，486例(90%)完成问卷调查。在一个月的时间里，40%的参与者以标准化的方式使用了AMPS, 56%的人对完成的AMPS评估数量少表示不满。发现5个支持因素和9个阻碍因素显著影响标准化AMPS评价的使用。结论/意义:尽管要求标准化评估，但在丹麦的职业治疗实践中，AMPS并没有以标准化的方式定期使用。在临床实践中，AMPS的使用似乎得到了管理层和OT培养习惯和常规能力的认可。报告了时间限制，但是，进行评价的时间在统计上并不是一个显著的影响因素。
