Introduction The periods of lockdown during 2020 led to changes in daily occupations. As participation relies on dynamic interactions between the person, his/her occupations and his/her environment, we wondered whether people from different generations shared the same perception of occupational disruptions during the lockdown. Methods We performed an online survey based on the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) of adults in 27 European Union countries, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Three groups were compared: young adults (YAs, aged 18–39), middle-aged adults (MAs, aged 40–59) and older adults (OAs, aged 60 and over). Results 2865 participants (YAs: 47%; MAs: 33%; OAs: 20%) reported a total of 6549 disrupted occupations. The most frequently disrupted domain was leisure (83%), followed by productivity (16%) and self-care (2%); there were no significant intergroup differences ( p = 0.18). In a multivariate analysis, socializing disruptions were more likely to be associated with younger age (adjusted odds ratio (OR) [95% confidence interval (CI)] = 0.62 [0.50–0.76] for YAs versus MAs and 0.46 [0.30–0.71] for YAs versus OAs. Conclusion With the exception of socializing, the main disrupted occupations were similar from one generation to another. Our findings might enable the more accurate assessment of the risk of occupational disruption in a restrictive environment.

Children With Cerebral Palsy

Background/Aims Caring for children with cerebral palsy may affect different domains in the caregiver's life. This study aimed to compare the occupational performance of mothers of a child who has cerebral palsy with mothers of a typically developing child. Methods A total of 41 mothers with a child who has cerebral palsy and 45 mothers with a typically developing child were recruited in this cross-sectional study. The age-matched mothers had only one child. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was used to collect data on the occupational performance and satisfaction of mothers. Findings There was a statistically significant between-group difference in maternal occupational performance and occupational satisfaction (P<0.05), with mothers of children with cerebral palsy reporting lower scores for both. There were no relationships between demographic variables and the occupational performance and satisfaction of mothers with a child with cerebral palsy (P>0.05). The age of children with cerebral palsy had a direct positive relationship with the mothers' level of occupational satisfaction (P<0.05). Conclusion Mothers who take care of a child with cerebral palsy face significant reductions in occupational performance and satisfaction compared to mothers with a typically developing child, and therefore may need help and education in performing and organising their daily activities and roles.

Purpose. To examine the content validity of the Danish version of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM-DK). Materials and Methods. This cross-sectional study was performed in a hospital and a community rehabilitation centre. The content validity of the COPM was assessed by relating the clients’ prioritized occupational performance issues (OPIs) to the conceptual model of the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) and the levels of the Taxonomic Code of Occupational Performance (TCOP). Six occupational therapy lecturers participated in classifying the OPIs using the TCOP. Results. A total of 112 clients from a regional and community-based rehabilitation participated. The 56% regional participants came from a hospital’s hand and knee surgery department. The remaining 44% participants came from a community-based rehabilitation centre with in- and outpatient departments. There were 44% males, with a mean age of 65.2 years. They prioritized 495 OPIs, of which 40% concerned self-care, 32% productivity, and 28% leisure. The prioritized OPIs were divided into a total of 224 different OPIs. There were significant differences in which areas were prioritized in the various population groups. Of the OPIs, 64.3% could be classified into the TCOP levels of occupation and activity, i.e., 1/3 of the OPIs were related to tasks and actions, and thus beyond the scope of the COPM. The interrater agreement of the OPI classification was only fair (kappa 0.3). Conclusion. The content validity of the COPM seems to depend on how and with which clients it is administered. Caution must be taken to secure OPIs on the higher levels of the TCOP, while maintaining the clients’ right to nominate OPI preferences. Therefore, an introductory course and on-going support are recommendable. Bearing this in mind, the COPM seems useful to identify individual clients’ prioritized OPIs in a Danish context.

Desempenho ocupacional (DO) é a habilidade que os indivíduos têm de realizar atividades rotineiras e de desempenhar papeis e tarefas. Na infância, as crianças estão adquirindo habilidades para a realização de suas ocupações. Fatores clínicos, atrasos no desenvolvimento e o próprio ambiente são alguns dos fatores que interferem no DO, além da percepção dos cuidadores dessas crianças. Verificar os fatores associados ao baixo DO de crianças escolares de oito anos numa amostra na cidade de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Estudo transversal com 88 pares de crianças escolares de oito anos e seus cuidadores principais. Foram utilizados dois questionários sociodemográficos e a Medida Canadense de Desempenho Ocupacional. Os dados quantitativos foram analisados por média, desvio padrão e frequência absoluta e relativa. A associação das variáveis foi verificada pelo Qui-quadrado de Pearson e valores de p0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significativos. A média de DO foi de 6,03 (+2,21) e a de satisfação de 5,99 (+2,89). Cerca de 60,2% das crianças apresentaram baixas médias de desempenho e satisfação. Morar com a mãe (p = 0,041) foi associado ao baixo DO, havendo também tendência de associação para a satisfação com o desempenho ocupacional. As médias de desempenho e satisfação encontradas foram consideradas baixas por tratarem-se de crianças saudáveis. Atividades problemáticas foram percebidas pelos cuidadores em todos os domínios avaliados. A percepção da mãe com relação ao desempenho da criança pode estar associada a expectativa e exigências exacerbadas e ao desconhecimento das capacidades dos filhos. AbstractOccupational Performance (OP) is the ability of individuals to perform routine activities and play roles and tasks. At childhood, the children are acquiring skills to perform their occupations. Clinical factors, development delays and even the environment are some factors that interfere in the OP, besides the perception of the caregivers of these children. To verify the factors associated with OP below the average of eight years old schoolchildren in a sample in the city of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul. Cross-sectional study with 88 pairs of schoolchildren of eight years old and their main caregivers. Two sociodemographic questionnaires and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) were used. The quantitative data were analyzed by average, standard deviation and absolute and relative frequency. The association of variables was verified by Chi-square of Pearson and values of p 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The average OP was 6.03 (+2.21) and the satisfaction score was 5.99 (+2.89). About 60.2% of the children presented low averages of performance and satisfaction. Live with the mother (p = 0.041) was associated with low OP, there is also a tendency of association for the satisfaction with occupational performance. The averages of performance and satisfaction found were considered low because they were healthy children. Problematic activities were perceived by caregivers in all domains evaluated. The perception of the mother with relation to child's performance may be associated to the expectation and the exacerbated requirements and the unfamiliarity capabilities' sons.Keywords: COPM; Canadian Occupational Performance Measure; Occupational Performance; Occupational Therapy.

Introduction Nomophobia is a contemporary phobia that emerged in the digital age and is becoming increasingly common. University students are at higher risk for nomophobia. This study aims to develop an understanding of nomophobic university students’ problem areas in their daily occupations. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted with 181 university students between January and March 2020. The Nomophobia Questionnaire was used to determine the students’ level of nomophobia and they were separated into groups based on nomophobia severity. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was used to determine the students’ occupational performance and satisfaction in the occupations they identified as being most problematic for them. Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores were compared between nomophobia severity groups. Results All students in the study had some degree of nomophobia (mild = 56, moderate = 95, severe = 30). Canadian Occupational Performance Measure performance and satisfaction scores were significantly lower in students with severe nomophobia compared to the mild/moderately nomophobic students ( p<.05). The occupations of greatest concern were in the areas of productivity (studying, 20.89%), self-care (sleeping, 9.87%), and leisure (doing sport, 8.23%). Conclusion This study demonstrated a relationship between nomophobia and occupational performance difficulties in university students. Occupational therapists should consider nomophobia when evaluating occupational performance difficulties in university students.

Determining Factors

Introduction The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional study is to examine the routine use proportion and factors determining the use of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure in the real-world subacute rehabilitation setting. Methods This study retrospectively collected data from all inpatients and occupational therapists at a single Japanese subacute rehabilitation ward during 2017, including Functional Independence Measure motor/cognitive scores, years of experience, and rate of Canadian Occupational Performance Measure administration (that is, Canadian Occupational Performance Measure proportion). Multiple logistic regression analyses were used to identify the determining factors of daily routine Canadian Occupational Performance Measure use/non-use, after which cut-off values were calculated. Results Of the 619 included clients, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was applied in 232 cases (37%). A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed two significant determining factors of its use: Canadian Occupational Performance Measure proportion (odds ratio, 1.06) and Functional Independence Measure cognitive item (odds ratio, 1.22). The cut-off value, sensitivity, and specificity, respectively, were 35.4%, 0.73, and 0.36 ( p < 0.0001) for the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure proportion and 25.5, 0.84, and 0.45 ( p < 0.0001) for the Functional Independence Measure cognitive score. Conclusion The client’s high-level cognitive skill and occupational therapist’s attitude may determine the use of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure.

Danish Version

Purpose. To establish the construct validity of the Danish version of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Methods. A cross-sectional study was performed in two settings, a regional hospital and a rehabilitation centre in a community. Including adult clients with a variety of diagnoses, we assessed construct validity by correlating the COPM to the Occupational Self-Assessment (OSA), the five-item World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5), and the EuroQol-five domain-five level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L). Further examination of the comparability of the OSA and the COPM was performed in two ways. First, an interrater agreement of the theoretical correlation of the 21 OSA items and the three areas of the COPM was conducted. Secondly, we examined the compliance between the prioritized occupational performance issues (OPIs) and items of the OSA prioritized for change. Results. The study included a total sample of 112 participants with more than half of the participants (56%) recruited from the hospital. 109 participants had measurements for both COPM and OSA (44% males) with a mean age of 64.7 years (range 16-96 years). All correlations, between the COPM and the OSA, the WHO-5, and the EQ-5D-5L, were low or negligible (r<0.50). Manual examination confirmed a difference in the constructs of the OSA and the COPM. This was demonstrated by a negligible interrater agreement between the items of the OSA and the areas of the COPM, and differences in the prioritized OPIs and OSA items, even if there were some resemblances, were found. Conclusions. This study suggests that the construct of the COPM provides data different to those obtained with the standardized measurements included for comparison. The present study supports the assumption that the COPM can detect unique OPIs that clients want to do, need to do, must do, or are not satisfied with the way they do.

Abstract. Background: According to the strain theory of suicide, strains, resulting from conflicting and competing pressures in an individual's life, are hypothesized to precede suicide. But social support is an important factor that can mitigate strains and lessen their input in suicidal behavior. Aims: This study was designed to assess the moderating role of social support in the relation between strain and suicidality. Methods: A sample of 1,051 employees were recruited in Beijing, the capital of China, through an online survey. Moderation analysis was performed using SPSS PROCESS Macro. Social support was measured with the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and strains were assessed with the Psychological Strains Scale. Results: Psychological strains are a good predictor of suicidality, and social support, a basic need for each human being, moderates and decreases the effects of psychological strains on suicidality. Limitations: The cross-sectional survey limited the extent to which conclusions about causal relationships can be drawn. Furthermore, the results may not be generalized to the whole of China because of its diversity. Conclusion: Social support has a tendency to mitigate the effects of psychological strains on suicidality.

The Impact

BACKGROUND The first nationwide lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic was implemented in Vietnam from April 1 to 15, 2020. Nevertheless, there has been limited information on the impact of COVID-19 on the psychological health of the public. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of psychological issues and identify the factors associated with the psychological impact of COVID-19 during the first nationwide lockdown among the general population in Vietnam. METHODS We employed a cross-sectional study design with convenience sampling. A self-administered, online survey was used to collect data and assess psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and stress of participants from April 10 to 15, 2020. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R) and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) were utilized to assess psychological distress, depression, anxiety, and stress of participants during social distancing due to COVID-19. Associations across factors were explored using regression analysis. RESULTS A total of 1385 respondents completed the survey. Of this, 35.9% (n=497) experienced psychological distress, as well as depression (n=325, 23.5%), anxiety (n=195, 14.1%), and stress (n=309, 22.3%). Respondents who evaluated their physical health as average had a higher IES-R score (beta coefficient [B]=9.16, 95% CI 6.43 to 11.89), as well as higher depression (B=5.85, 95% CI 4.49 to 7.21), anxiety (B=3.64, 95% CI 2.64 to 4.63), and stress (B=5.19, 95% CI 3.83 to 6.56) scores for DASS-21 than those who rated their health as good or very good. Those who self-reported their health as bad or very bad experienced more severe depression (B=9.57, 95% CI 4.54 to 14.59), anxiety (B=7.24, 95% CI 3.55 to 10.9), and stress (B=10.60, 95% CI 5.56 to 15.65). Unemployment was more likely to be associated with depression (B=3.34, 95% CI 1.68 to 5.01) and stress (B=2.34, 95% CI 0.84 to 3.85). Regarding worries about COVID-19, more than half (n=755, 54.5%) expressed concern for their children aged &lt;18 years, which increased their IES-R score (B=7.81, 95% CI 4.98 to 10.64) and DASS-21 stress score (B=1.75, 95% CI 0.27 to 3.24). The majority of respondents (n=1335, 96.4%) were confident about their doctor’s expertise in terms of COVID-19 diagnosis and treatment, which was positively associated with less distress caused by the outbreak (B=–7.84, 95% CI –14.58 to –1.11). CONCLUSIONS The findings highlight the effect of COVID-19 on mental health during the nationwide lockdown among the general population in Vietnam. The study provides useful evidence for policy decision makers to develop and implement interventions to mitigate these impacts. CLINICALTRIAL
