Abstract Background The patient profile in a Dublin rehabilitation hospital has changed in recent years to include older adult rehabilitation alongside orthopaedic rehabilitation. A snapshot audit completed by the occupational therapy department on one day in 2018 demonstrated that 64% of patients had an assessment score indicative of a cognitive impairment. A subjective gap in knowledge regarding dementia care and a misunderstanding of the ability of people with dementia to engage in rehabilitation was identified. It was imperative that dementia awareness training was provided with a particular focus on modifying rehabilitation techniques to cater for these patients. Methods A dementia care committee was established with an Educational Development subgroup responsible for addressing dementia and delirium awareness training. Educational material was received from the field of occupational therapy, nursing, medicine, pharmacy and dietetics. The programme was accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland. A focus group was completed pre/post formulation of the presentation with various departmental representatives. Feedback provided was used to inform and finalise the training content. Results Sessions are completed once monthly. One hundred and seven participants to date have attended. Ten-point Likert scales are completed pre and post training. Data from the Likert scales were analysed revealing on average a 24.4 % increase in knowledge of dementia, a 27.6% increase in awareness of the impact of dementia on function and a 23.3% increase in confidence in caring for a patient with dementia. Highest contingent of staff members trained were household and catering staff (19%) nursing staff (18%), and health care attendants (13%). Conclusion This essential training is ongoing with thirty per cent of staff trained to date. The objective is for all staff to complete this training for enhanced care and rehabilitation for all patients with dementia. It will also aim to review treatment for all patients with cognitive impairment so unique rehabilitation programmes can be tailored.

Background/Aims. The process of occupational therapy services starts with assessing the occupational performance problems, setting goals, and implementing various intervention strategies to achieve the goals. The aim of this study was to assess the extent of achieving occupational therapy goals for people with stroke and categorize the goals according to the aspects of the domain of occupational therapy. Methods. A cross-sectional retrospective study design was used. People with stroke receiving rehabilitation services at King Abdulaziz Medical City (KAMC) were the target of this study. Data about the extent of achieving occupational therapy goals were collected using the Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). Results. Of the 100 medical records of people with stroke included in this study, only 30% of the goals were functional. Only 54% of the goals were achieved. No association was found between the number of achieved goals and variables such as age, gender, type of stroke, and stroke hemisphere/side. Conclusion. People with stroke included in this study have not shown significant progress toward achieving their therapy goals. As for clinical practice, this study could guide therapists in the future to improve the process of achieving their patients’ goals.

One of the central tenets of client-centred occupational therapy is to enable clients to select goals to work on in therapy (Law, 1998). The process of identifying and prioritizing goals is fairly abstract, therefore occupational therapy goals for children are often prescribed by the therapist or by parents and teachers. The purpose of this study was to pilot test a measure and a process that would provide young children with the opportunity to assess their performance on daily tasks and to establish goals for occupational therapy intervention. Parents and children completed the Perceived Efficacy and Goal Setting System (PEGS), a measure of children's perception of their competence performing fine and gross motor tasks. Children 5–9 years of age were able to discriminate among tasks and to rate whether or not they were able to perform each task competently. They were also able to use this information to select and prioritize goals for intervention. While parents often rated the child's competence lower than the child did, there was a high level of agreement regarding which tasks were difficult for the child. Parents and children often did not agree about the specific selection or priority of these tasks for intervention, however, which highlights the need for further research.
