Determine the value of leisure activities for older adults living with cancer on the palliative pathway, 2. To identify interventions to promote occupational engagement.Method: A qualitative systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA Statement. The electronic databases namely ASSIA, AMED, CINAHL, Medline, PsycArticles, and PubMed were searched. Qualitative studies meeting the eligibility criteria were included. Two reviewers independently screened the identified articles. The findings were qualitatively synthesised using thematic analysis.Results: We included seven articles with 405 participants. This review demonstrated that leisure could help people in palliative care maintain a sense of identity and normalcy. Leisure also increased happiness and provided relief from pain. Occupational therapy interventions targeting leisure allowed people to maintain a consistent level of engagement.Conclusion: Further empirical research is required to explore palliative patients' perspectives on leisure and to develop specific occupational therapy interventions that enable OTs to facilitate leisure engagement for people in palliative care.","PeriodicalId":49096,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"89 5","pages":"297-310"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13133478/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147822363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also conducted exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to examine the structural validity.Findings: The content validity index of the scale was found to be 0.895.

While physical literacy is often self-reported, its relationship to actual motor skill performance remains unclear. This study explored the association between children's self-perceived physical literacy and their objectively measured motor skills.Method: Twenty-eight neurotypical children aged 8-12 years completed two self-report measures of physical literacy: Physical Literacy Assessment for Youth Self and Physical Literacy for Children Questionnaire (PL-C Quest). Participants also completed the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency - Second Edition (BOT-2). Spearman's rho correlations were conducted to examine the relationships between the PLAYself, Physical Literacy for Children Questionnaire and Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency - Second Edition.Results: One statistically significant positive correlation was found between the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency - Second Edition Body Coordination composite and the Physical Literacy Assessment for Youth Self Relative Rankings - Physical Literacy subscale (ρ = 0.41, p < 0.05). No other significant correlations were identified between the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency - Second Edition and either of the two physical literacy self-report tools.Conclusion: Most self-reported physical literacy scores were not significantly associated with motor skill performance, suggesting a minimal relationship overall. However, children with stronger coordination reported higher scores in movement and sport. Combining self-report and performance-based tools may provide a more holistic understanding of children's physical literacy and occupational participation.","PeriodicalId":49096,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"89 3","pages":"189-200"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12929845/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147311736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
