Self-perceptions of performance of activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) are reduced following stroke. Research investigating contributing factors is lacking. Purpose: We examined the extent to which aphasia status, neurological impairment and poststroke depression, and anxiety contribute to self-perceived ADL/IADL function. Method: Seventy-six community-dwelling individuals at least 6 months poststroke, 44 with and 32 without aphasia, participated in the cross-sectional study. The Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) ADL/IADL domain was the primary outcome measure with aphasia status, residual neurological impairment, depressive symptoms, and anxiety as predictor variables. Findings: Aphasia status, residual neurological impairment, and anxiety were independent predictors of self-perceived ADL/IADL function, together accounting for more than half the variance. Depression was not associated with ADL/IADL. Implications: Clinician awareness of the influence of anxiety on self-perceived ADL/IADL function, particularly for people with aphasia, may lead to future interventions that improve self-perceived ADL/IADL function.","PeriodicalId":49097,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy-Revue Canadienne D Ergotherapie","volume":"45 1","pages":"307 - 314"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81471173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS) is a standardized assessment of the ability to perform daily activities. Purposes. This preliminary exploratory study aimed to 1) explore the ability of four PASS tasks to predict adverse events (readmissions and injuries) in older adults following hospitalization; 2) compare PASS's predictive validity to that of a generic tool (SMAF) and OT clinical judgement. Method.Twenty-two older patients were assessed in hospital at discharge and at home one week later. Adverse events were documented for six months post-discharge. Sensitivity and specificity analyses (ROC curves, Fisher's exact tests) were performed. Findings. Two PASS tasks (telephone, medication), the SMAF-Social and OT clinical judgement could identify individuals at risk of readmission (AUC > 0.7; p < 0.05). Implications. Using the PASS to assess more cognitively demanding tasks could be a promising way to predict adverse events after discharge, as a complement to clinical judgment.","PeriodicalId":49097,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy-Revue Canadienne D Ergotherapie","volume":"2 1","pages":"190 - 200"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84461655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings. Four themes describe current occupational therapy practices related to forced migration: 1) engaging clients in new environments, 2) translating the everyday, 3) connecting and networking, and 4) advocating for occupational justice.
