Abstract
Aim To support the achievement of life goals and social participation of persons with mental illness, based on the World Health Organization's International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF), we generated items, identified domains, and examined the content validity of the Comprehensive Assessment of Functioning for Mental Illness-Subjective Version (CAMI-S). The purpose was to assess patients' strengths and weaknesses by incorporating the patient and public involvement perspective. Methods Focus group interviews on the items to be included were conducted with Group A. A draft scale was constructed by extracting articles mentioning factors for social participation and recovery for each ICF component from PubMed. Group B participants rated themselves using the draft and highlighted items they considered inappropriate. Experts then rated the importance of the items through the Delphi method. Lastly, Group C participants evaluated whether the draft scale would help in understanding their strengths and weaknesses. Results The interviews revealed subjective experience items. The draft scale had 81 items (physical and mental functions, 10; activities, 23; participation, 24; environment, 12; individuals, six; and subjective experience, six). Through the Delphi method, the number of items was reduced to 34 in six domains. Most participants (N = 50) indicated that it helped them ascertain patients' strengths and weaknesses (mean = 2.11 ± .714). Completion time for the scale was 56 min, including the 60-item face sheet (20-110 min). Conclusion The CAMI-S helped participants ascertain patients' strengths and weaknesses. Its reliability and validity will be verified through a large-scale survey in the future.

[PMID: 39187005 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2024.08.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2024] [Revised: 08/15/2024] [Accepted: 08/16/2024] [Indexed: 08/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To characterize the greatest problem or need among individuals with a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI), as compared to individuals with a history of other neurological conditions, mental health conditions, and no history of neurological or mental health conditions. DESIGN A directed content analysis of open-text responses to a single online survey question using a framework guided by the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-4. SETTING Community. PARTICIPANTS 2,861 community-dwelling adults (n = 274 with TBI; n = 289 with other neurological conditions besides TBI; n = 454 with mental health conditions but no neurological conditions; n = 1,844 controls). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Open-text responses to the survey prompt: "What was your greatest problem or need over the past 2 weeks?" RESULTS The Participation index comprised the greatest proportion of responses across all four participant groups. A quarter (25.4%) of controls reported None (no problem/need), whereas only 7.9 -10.7% of participants in all other groups reported None. Among all groups, individuals with TBI reported the greatest proportion of problems in the Adjustment and Ability indices. Among people with TBI, Money Management (19.7%), None (10.6%), and Anxiety (7.7%) were the three most frequently reported problems. Compared to individuals with mild TBI (mTBI), individuals with moderate-to-severe TBI (msTBI) reported a higher proportion of problems in the Ability and Adjustment indices. Among individuals with msTBI, the Adjustment index accounted for the greatest proportion of problems. CONCLUSIONS This study employed a person-centered approach to understanding the greatest needs among individuals with TBI. Qualitative differences were observed between individuals with and without a TBI, between people with mTBI and msTBI, and across genders among people with TBI. These findings can help guide research and policy towards addressing challenges perceived as highly important by people living in the community with TBI.

Self-Management Interventions for Facilitating Life Participation for Persons with Kidney Failure: A Systematic Review. Clin J Am Soc Nephrol 2024; 19:189-201. [PMID: 37943537 PMCID: PMC10861108 DOI: 10.2215/cjn.0000000000000347] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2023] [Accepted: 10/28/2023] [Indexed: 11/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND For persons with kidney failure, life participation is a critically important outcome, strongly linked to quality of life and mortality. To support patients' self-management abilities, three domains are typically emphasized: medical management, emotional management, and management of everyday life ( i.e. , role management). Although role management is strongly linked to life participation, there is currently limited research on interventions designed to support it. We explored existing self-management interventions that aim to support everyday life functioning, rather than only medical management. METHODS In this systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis, we searched MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and CENTRAL up to April 2022 for interventional studies involving self-management interventions designed, at least partly, to support management of everyday life. The guidelines by Sandelowski and Barosso were used to analyze and synthesize the results. A taxonomy of everyday self-management strategies was used to further explore intervention content. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration risk-of-bias tools. Evidence of effectiveness was summarized, and a meta-analysis of eligible outcomes was conducted. RESULTS Of 22,667 records, 53 studies were included in the meta-synthesis. Most self-management interventions focused on medical management. Included interventions involved strategies to support eight domains: Activities of daily living, Work and school life, Meaningful occupations, Leisure activities, Mobility and travel, Interpersonal relationships, Role functioning, and Social participation. Major interventions focused on providing education, skill training, counseling, and cognitive behavioral therapy. Evidence of effectiveness was reported across a wide range of patient-reported outcomes, including (health-related) quality of life, depression, and self-efficacy. Studies were geographically concentrated and were of moderate to low quality. CONCLUSIONS Despite its well-recognized importance, research on interventions to improve life participation mostly consisted of pilot and feasibility studies and studies of low quality. Interventions were reported heterogeneously, limiting comparability, and were restricted to specific regions and cultures, limiting generalizability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-version 4 (MPAI-4) and related measures' measurement properties and the quality of evidence supporting these results; and identify the interpretability and feasibility of the MPAI-4 and related measures. DATA SOURCES We conducted a systematic review according to COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guidelines. We searched 9 electronic databases and registries, and hand searched reference lists of included articles. STUDY SELECTION Two independent reviewers screened and selected all articles. From 605 retrieved articles, 48 were included. DATA EXTRACTION Two independent reviewers appraised the evidence quality and rated the extracted classical test theory and Rasch results from each study. DATA SYNTHESIS We used meta-analysis and COSMIN's approach to synthesize measurement properties evidence (insufficient, sufficient), and the modified Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach to synthesize evidence quality (very low, low, moderate, high) by diagnosis (traumatic brain injury [TBI], stroke), and setting (inpatient, outpatient). The MPAI-4 and its subscales are sufficiently comprehensible (GRADE: very low), but there is currently no other content validity evidence (relevance, comprehensiveness). The MPAI-4 and its participation index (M2PI) have sufficient interrater reliability for stroke and TBI outpatients (GRADE: moderate), whereas interrater reliability between TBI inpatients and clinicians is currently insufficient (GRADE: moderate). There is no evidence for measurement error. For stroke and TBI outpatients, the MPAI-4 and M2PI have sufficient construct validity (GRADE: high) and responsiveness (GRADE: moderate-high). For TBI inpatients, the MPAI-4 and M2PI have mixed indeterminant/sufficient construct validity and responsiveness evidence (GRADE: moderate-high). There is 1 study with mixed insufficient/sufficient evidence for each MPAI-4 adaptation (21- and 22-item MPAI, 9-item M2PI) (GRADE: low-high). CONCLUSION Users can be most confident in using the MPAI-4 and M2PI in TBI and stroke outpatient settings. Future research is needed on reliability, measurement error, predictive validity, and content validity of the MPAI-4 and its related measures across populations and settings.

Guerrette MC, McKerral M. Predictors of Social Participation Outcome after Traumatic Brain Injury Differ According to Rehabilitation Pathways. J Neurotrauma 2023; 40:523-535.

Abstract
Social participation (SP) is one of many objectives in the rehabilitation of patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Studies on predictors of SP specific to post-acute universally accessible specialized rehabilitation pathways following TBI are scarce. Our objectives were to: 1) characterize SP, as well as a set of pre-injury, injury-related, and post-injury variables in individuals participating in inpatient-outpatient or outpatient rehabilitation pathways within a universally accessible and organized trauma continuum of care; and 2) examine the ability of pre-injury, injury-related, and post-injury variables in predicting SP outcome after TBI according to rehabilitation path. Participants (N = 372) were adults admitted to an inpatient-outpatient rehabilitation pathway or an outpatient rehabilitation pathway after sustaining a TBI between 2016 and 2020, and for whom Mayo-Portland Adaptability Intentory-4 (MPAI-4) outcomes were prospectively obtained at the start and end of rehabilitation. Additional data was collected from medical files. For both rehabilitation pathways, predicted SP outcome was MPAI-4 Participation score at discharge from outpatient rehabilitation. Multiple regression models investigated the predictive value of each variable for SP outcome, separately for each care pathway. Main findings show that for the inpatient-outpatient sample, three variables (education years, MPAI-4 Ability and Adjustment scores at rehabilitation intake) significantly predicted SP outcome, with the regression model accounting for 49% of the variance. For the outpatient sample, five variables (pre-morbid hypertension and mental health diagnosis, total indirect rehabilitation hours received, MPAI-4 Abilities and Adjustment scores at rehabilitation intake) significantly predicted SP outcome, with the regression model accounting for 47% of the variance. In conclusion, different pre-morbid and post-injury variables are involved in predicting SP, depending on the rehabilitation path followed. The predictive value of those variables could help clinicians identify patients more likely of showing poorer SP at discharge and who may require additional or different interventions.

A general framework for selecting work participation outcomes in intervention studies among persons with health problems: a concept paper. BMC Public Health 2022; 22:2189. [DOI: 10.1186/s12889-022-14564-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/09/2022] [Accepted: 11/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Abstract
Background
Work participation is important for health and can be considered as engagement in a major area of life which is of significance for most people, but it can also be thought of as fulfilling or discharging a role. Currently, academic research lacks a comprehensive classification of work participation outcomes. The International Classification of Functioning is the foremost model in defining work functioning and its counterpart work disability, but it does not provide a critical (core) set of outcomes. Standardizing the definitions and nomenclature used in the research of work participation would ensure that the outcomes of studies are comparable, and practitioners and guideline developers can better decide what works best. As work participation is a broad umbrella term including outcome categories which need unambiguous differentiation, a framework needs to be developed first.
Aim
To propose a framework which can be used to develop a generic core outcome set for work participation.
Methods
First, we performed a systematic literature search on the concept of (work) participation, views on how to measure it, and on existing classifications for outcome measurements. Next, we derived criteria for the framework and proposed a framework based on the criteria. Last, we applied the framework to six case studies as a proof of concept.
Results
Our literature search provided 2106 hits and we selected 59 studies for full-text analysis. Based on the literature and the developed criteria we propose four overarching outcome categories: (1) initiating employment, (2) having employment, (3) increasing or maintaining productivity at work, and (4) return to employment. These categories appeared feasible in our proof-of-concept assessment with six different case studies.
Conclusion
We propose to use the framework for work participation outcomes to develop a core outcome set for intervention studies to improve work participation.

Linking Prioritized Occupational Performance in Patients Undergoing Spasticity-Correcting Upper Limb Surgery to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health. Occup Ther Int 2022; 2022:8741660. [PMID: 36312840 PMCID: PMC9586799 DOI: 10.1155/2022/8741660] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Spasticity is generally caused by damage to the spinal cord or the areas of the brain that controls movements, which poses significant limitations in occupational tasks. Objectives The aims of the study were to (I) describe prioritized occupational performance problems (POPP) among patients who underwent upper limb spasticity-correcting surgery and map them to the International Classification of Function, Disability, and Health (ICF); (II) assess outcomes postsurgery; (III) assess whether the results are influenced by the diagnosis, gender, and residual muscle function; and (IV) assess correlation between changes in COPM and gains in grasp ability and grip strength. Methods In this retrospective study, assessments occurred pre- and postsurgery, including the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), grip strength, and grasp ability. POPP were transformed to prioritized occupational performance goals (POPG) during subsequent rehabilitation. Results 60 patients with a history of spinal cord injury (SCI) (n = 42; 59%), stroke (n = 25; 34%), traumatic brain injury (TBI) (n = 4; 6%), and reason unknown (n = 1; 1%) were included, with a mean age of 57 (±13) years. Of those, 11 had bilateral surgery, generating 71 COPM forms and 320 POPG. The POPG were mapped to the ICF activity and participation chapter, most often to self-care (n = 131; 41%), domestic life (n = 68; 21%), and mobility (n = 58; 18%). COPM scores were significantly increased postsurgery, irrespective of diagnosis, gender, and muscle function. No clear correlation between COPM improvement and hand function gains was shown. Conclusion Patients who underwent spasticity-correcting upper limb surgery identified difficulties with a wide range of occupational tasks that they considered as important to regain. Treatment-induced gains in occupational performance were significant but had no clear correlation with gains in grasp ability and hand strength. Independent of diagnosis, gender, and residual muscle function, it seems important to address the activity- and participation-specific aspects in the assessment and rehabilitation of patients.

Abstract
Background: Restrictions to contain the COVID-19 pandemic affect the social participation of people worldwide. Especially those at high risk for a severe disease tend to abstain from social gatherings. While there are a few questionnaires to measure social participation in elderly or chronic patients, a valid survey instrument that includes pandemic-related social participation is needed. Methods We developed a social participation questionnaire that aims to assess pandemic-related restrictions in social participation. Items were developed using a theory and literature-based approach and then compiled in a discursive process involving experts and lay people. This was followed by the validation of the questionnaire through a cross-sectional survey on 431 individuals. Items with low item-total correlations and low factor loadings using exploratory factor analysis [EFA] were excluded. Using EFA on the remaining items, the factor structure was retrieved and tested with a confirmatory factor analysis [CFA]. Internal consistency was assessed with Chronbachs α. Results Initially, 27 items were developed which were used for validation. 13 items were excluded due to low item-total correlations and factors loadings. EFA of the remaining 14 items revealed three factors which were identified as domains “active social participation,” “wellbeing,” and “restrictions”. CFA showed an acceptable model fit using the three-dimensional structure. Chronbachs α of 0.81 and McDonalds Ω of 0.87 indicate good internal consistency. Correlation analysis showed an association between the developed questionnaire and previously-established participation and mental health scales. Conclusion This study suggests that our 14 item questionnaire is of high reliability and validity and can be used to measure social participation during a pandemic.

Abstract
Introduction The occupational therapy profession has an essential role to play in healthy ageing that includes enabling participation, a construct that according to The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), incorporates an environmental context. Environmental barriers and enablers of participation in community‐situated activities for people over the age of 65 have been identified. To support practice, occupational therapists require assessments with demonstrated content validity including comprehensive coverage of the construct. The purpose of this scoping review study was to investigate what instruments are available to assess community participation for people over the age of 65 that included environmental factors. Methods A scoping review of the literature was conducted, utilising the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) scoping review methodology. The evidence source was review articles and inclusion criteria were that they reviewed instruments to assess participation that could be used for people over the age of 65. Items extracted from included instruments were evaluated against a preset list of community‐participation and environment categories that had been developed from the ICF. Results Twenty‐three review studies met inclusion criteria and from these 240 instruments were extracted. Twenty instruments were retained after exclusions and from these, 540 instrument items were extracted. Of these, 280 (47%) were coded as community‐participation, and only 20 (3.4%) as environment items. Fourteen of the instruments included no environment items. Conclusions No instrument was identified that comprehensively assessed community participation including the related environmental factors. Such an instrument is required to enable occupational therapy practitioners to support healthy ageing. The development of such an instrument will strengthen the profession's capacity to develop new ways of delivering services to older adults in line with emerging ways that aged care will be delivered and to advance its essential role in healthy ageing.

Abstract
Abstract
Anecdotal evidence suggests that non-communicable diseases (NCDs) contribute substantially to mortality, morbidity and disability in Ghana. Nonetheless, no data are presently available on Ghanaians with disability from major NCDs, such as hypertension, diabetes and stroke. Using data from the 2007/2008 Ghana World Health Organization Study on Global Ageing and Adult Health (SAGE) and applying ordinary least squares techniques, the prevalence of and associations between activity limitations and participation restrictions in Ghanaians with NCDs are examined in the present study. The results show stroke is the major contributor to activity limitations and participation restrictions among the Ghanaian population with NCDs. The study results further revealed that respondents with higher education reported high levels of disability compared to those with no education. The results suggest that functioning can be restored by providing assistive technologies, such as wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, walking aids, etc., that can enhance participation of persons with disability in society.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We (1) collected instruments that assess health-related quality of life (HRQoL), activities of daily living (ADL) and social participation during follow-up after polytrauma, (2) described their use and (3) investigated other relevant patient-reported outcomes (PROs) assessed in the studies. DESIGN Systematic Review using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guideline. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, as well as the trials registers ClinicalTrials.gov and WHO ICTRP were searched from January 2005 to April 2018. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA All original empirical research published in English or German including PROs of patients aged 18-75 years with an Injury Severity Score≥16 and/or an Abbreviated Injury Scale≥3. Studies with defined injuries or diseases (e.g. low-energy injuries) and some text types (e.g. grey literature and books) were excluded. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were excluded, but references screened for appropriate studies. DATA EXTRACTION AND SYNTHESIS Data extraction, narrative content analysis and a critical appraisal (e.g. UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence) were performed by two reviewers independently. RESULTS The search yielded 3496 hits; 54 publications were included. Predominantly, HRQoL was assessed, with Short Form-36 Health Survey applied most frequently. ADL and (social) participation were rarely assessed. The methods most used were postal surveys and single assessments of PROs, with a follow-up period of one to one and a half years. Other relevant PRO areas reported were function, mental disorders and pain. CONCLUSIONS There is a large variation in the assessment of PROs after polytrauma, impairing comparability of outcomes. First efforts to standardise the collection of PROs have been initiated, but require further harmonisation between central players. Additional knowledge on rarely reported PRO areas (e.g. (social) participation, social networks) may lead to their consideration in health services provision. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42017060825.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients receiving peritoneal dialysis (PD) endure an ongoing regimen of daily fluid exchanges and are at risk of potentially life-threatening complications and debilitating symptoms that can limit their ability to participate in life activities. The aim of the study was to identify the characteristics, content and psychometric properties of measures for life participation used in research in PD. METHODS We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsychInfo, the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL) and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to May 2020 for all studies that reported life participation in patients on PD. The characteristics, dimensions of life participation and psychometric properties of these measures were extracted and analyzed. RESULTS Of the 301 studies included, 17 (6%) were randomized studies and 284 (94%) were nonrandomized studies. Forty-two different measures were used to assess life participation. Of these, 23 (55%) were used in only one study. Fifteen (36%) measures were specifically designed to assess life participation, while 27 (64%) measures assessed broader constructs, such as quality of life, but included questions on life participation. The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey and Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short Form were the most frequently used measures [122 (41%) and 86 (29%) studies, respectively]. Eight (19%) measures had validation data to support their use in patients on PD. CONCLUSIONS The many measures currently used to assess life participation in patients receiving PD vary in their characteristics, content and validation. Further work to pilot and validate potential measures is required to establish a core patient-reported outcome measure to assess life participation in patients receiving PD.

Abstract
The objective of this community-based participatory research project was to develop a clinically useful, psychometrically-sound scale to measure community integration for adults with severe mental illness. Two researchers and an administrator of a behavioral health agency (BHA) recruited a group of providers, half with lived-experience of severe mental illness. Through a series of five focus groups, provider participants guided identification of four major domains of community integration and the development of 95 scale items; items and domains were reviewed by three external researchers with subject matter expertise. Initial pilot: BHA providers administered the scale to clients (n = 51) with 19 completing it twice to investigate internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and restricted variance and collinearity of items. Further piloting: providers at two BHAs administered the scale to clients (n = 178) to conduct exploratory factor analysis and analyze internal consistency. After initial pilot, 50 items remained post item reduction for restricted variance and collinearity, with Cronbach's alpha of .95 and test-retest reliability of .90. After a larger pilot, a four-factor solution emerged, aligning conceptually with the four domains as anticipated; 33 items loaded (factor loadings ≥ .4), with RMSEA of .069 and overall Cronbach's alpha of .89 (subdomains ranging .78-.86). The scale has good preliminary psychometric properties and appears to be feasible for use in BHAs for the purposes of research and evaluation, with clinical utility for assessment and treatment planning.

Abstract
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To examine patterns of community participation, as well as the relationship among community participation outcomes and time since injury, impairments, environmental factors, and enfranchisement in adults with traumatic brain injury (TBI). RESEARCH DESIGN Cross-sectional study of a sample of 61 adults with TBI. METHODS AND PROCEDURES We administered the Participation Measure- 3 Domains 4 Dimensions to examine community participation in the three domains (productivity, community activities, and social participation) using four dimensions (diversity of activities, frequency, difficulty, and desire for change). MAIN RESULTS AND OUTCOMES All dimensions of community participation seem to be impaired following TBI, as evidenced by scores in the lower half of the available range. Most impaired was social participation (frequency: M = 10.0, SD = 3.4, possible range 0-24; difficulty: M= 11.3, SD = 3.2, possible range 4-16). Correlational analyses revealed that depression (r = 0.51), environmental factors (r = 0.51), and enfranchisement (r = 0.42), seem to play an important role in community participation outcomes, and may be potential targets for intervention. Results did not vary based on time since injury. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that depression, environmental factors, and enfranchisement may be important considerations for future interventions aiming to promote management of identified barriers.

Abstract
For many patients with end-stage kidney disease, transplantation improves survival and quality of life compared with dialysis. However, complications and side effects in kidney transplant recipients can limit their ability to participate in activities of daily living including work, study, and recreational activities. The aim of this study was to identify the characteristics, content, and psychometric properties of the outcome measures used to assess life participation in kidney transplant recipients. We searched MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from inception to July 2018 for all studies that reported life participation in kidney transplant recipients. Two authors identified instruments measuring life participation and reviewed for characteristics. In total, 230 studies were included: 19 (8%) randomized trials, 17 (7%) nonrandomized trials, and 194 (85%) observational studies. Across these studies, we identified 29 different measures that were used to assess life participation. Twelve (41%) measures specifically assessed aspects of life participation (eg, disability assessment, daily activities of living), while 17 (59%) assessed other constructs (eg, quality of life) that included questions on life participation. Validation data to support the use of these measures in kidney transplant recipients were available for only 7 measures. A wide range of measures have been used to assess life participation in kidney transplant recipients, but validation data supporting the use of these measures in this population are sparse. A content relevant and validated measure to improve the consistency and accuracy of measuring life participation in research may inform strategies for transplant recipients to be better able to engage in their life activities.

Abstract
Objective: This study aims to translate the screener part of the The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Measure of Participation and ACTivities Questionnaire (IMPACT-S) into Turkish and to test its reliability and validity in Turkish patients with stroke.Materials and methods: Participants were recruited from the inpatient rehabilitation clinic of a university hospital. Eighty-six stroke patients (mean ages: 60.43 ± 12.62 years; range 20-82 years; 51 males and 35 females) were included in the study. Demographic properties of the patients (age, sex, education, occupation, and body mass index), the start of in-patient rehabilitation treatment, affected extremity, types of stroke, and comorbidities were recorded. After that IMPACT-S questionnaire and World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule-II (WHODAS-II) were used for data collection. A test-retest interval of 7 d was used to assess the reliability. Internal consistency between the items was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient. For reliability; test-retest reliability, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), paired sample t-test were used. Intercorrelation of variables was performed with Spearman's rho tests.Results: Totally 86 patients completed test/retest procedures. Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaire was found to be 0.96. Both internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha score range: 0.65-0.98) and test-retest reliability (ICC values range: 0.86-0.97) of the IMPACT-S were found to be good. The correlations between all IMPACT-S subscales were moderate to strong (correlation range: 0.45-0.80). The correlation between the Activities and Participation scores (0.86) and IMPACT-S total score (0.96) were very strong. Statistically significant negative correlations were detected between all sub-scores of IMPACT-S and WHODAS-II, except for life activities/communication and life activities/knowledge. These findings show excellent concurrent validity. However, a lower-than-expected correlation between Major life areas (IMPACT-S) and Life activities (WHODAS-II) was observed.Conclusion: The Turkish version of the IMPACT-S is a valid and reliable questionnaire for evaluating activities and participation in patients with stroke.Implications for rehabilitationPatients with stroke experience difficulties across multiple participation domains, such as major life areas and community life.The screener part of the IMpact on Participation and ACTivities (IMPACT-S) questionnaire is the only measure that accurately reflects The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) sections and appears a promising outcome measure in rehabilitation research.The Turkish version of the IMPACT-S was found to be valid and reliable for evaluating "Activities and Participation" in stroke patients.

Additional Physical Therapy Services Reduce Length of Stay and Improve Health Outcomes in People With Acute and Subacute Conditions: An Updated Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Arch Phys Med Rehabil 2018; 99:2299-2312. [PMID: 29634915 DOI: 10.1016/j.apmr.2018.03.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/04/2018] [Revised: 02/06/2018] [Accepted: 03/05/2018] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To update a previous review on whether additional physical therapy services reduce length of stay, improve health outcomes, and are safe and cost-effective for patients with acute or subacute conditions. DATA SOURCES Electronic database (AMED, CINAHL, EMBASE, MEDLINE, Physiotherapy Evidence Database [PEDro], PubMed) searches were updated from 2010 through June 2017. STUDY SELECTION Randomized controlled trials evaluating additional physical therapy services on patient health outcomes, length of stay, or cost-effectiveness were eligible. Searching identified 1524 potentially relevant articles, of which 11 new articles from 8 new randomized controlled trials with 1563 participants were selected. In total, 24 randomized controlled trials with 3262 participants are included in this review. DATA EXTRACTION Data were extracted using the form used in the original systematic review. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale, and the Grading of Recommendation Assessment, Development, and Evaluation approach was applied to each meta-analysis. DATA SYNTHESIS Postintervention data were pooled with an inverse variance, random-effects model to calculate standardized mean differences (SMDs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). There is moderate-quality evidence that additional physical therapy services reduced length of stay by 3 days in subacute settings (mean difference [MD]=-2.8; 95% CI, -4.6 to -0.9; I2=0%), and low-quality evidence that it reduced length of stay by 0.6 days in acute settings (MD=-0.6; 95% CI, -1.1 to 0.0; I2=65%). Additional physical therapy led to small improvements in self-care (SMD=.11; 95% CI, .03-.19; I2=0%), activities of daily living (SMD=.13; 95% CI, .02-.25; I2=15%), and health-related quality of life (SMD=.12; 95% CI, .03-.21; I2=0%), with no increases in adverse events. There was no significant change in walking ability. One trial reported that additional physical therapy was likely to be cost-effective in subacute rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS Additional physical therapy services improve patient activity and participation outcomes while reducing hospital length of stay for adults. These benefits are likely safe, and there is preliminary evidence to suggest they may be cost-effective.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop a valid stroke-specific tool, named the Participation Measurement Scale (PM-Scale), for the measurement of participation after stroke. DESIGN Observational study and questionnaire development. SETTING Outpatient rehabilitation centers. PARTICIPANTS Patients with stroke (N=276; mean age, 58.5±11.1y; 57% men). INTERVENTIONS Not applicable. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Participants completed a 100-item experimental questionnaire of the PM-Scale. Items were scored as "not at all," "weakly," or "strongly." The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to evaluate depression, and the modified Rankin Scale was used to categorize the severity of disability on the basis of observation. RESULTS After successive Rasch analyses using unrestricted partial credit parameterization, a valid, unidimensional, and linear 22-item scale for the measurement of participation was constructed. All 22 items fulfilled the measurement requirements of overall and individual item and person fits, category discrimination, invariance, and local response independence. The PM-Scale showed good internal consistency (person separation index, .93). The test-retest reliability of item difficulty hierarchy (r=.96; P<.001) and patient location (r=.99; P<.001) were excellent. This patient-based scale covers all 9 International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health domains of participation. CONCLUSIONS The PM-Scale has good psychometric qualities and provides accurate measures of participation in patients with stroke in Africa.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The main clinical intervention for mild to moderate hearing loss is the provision of hearing aids. These are routinely offered and fitted to those who seek help for hearing difficulties. By amplifying and improving access to sounds, and speech sounds in particular, the aim of hearing aid use is to reduce the negative consequences of hearing loss and improve participation in everyday life. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing loss in adults. SEARCH METHODS The Cochrane ENT Information Specialist searched the ENT Trials Register; the Cochrane Register of Studies Online; MEDLINE; PubMed; EMBASE; CINAHL; Web of Science; ClinicalTrials.gov; ICTRP and additional sources for published and unpublished trials. The date of the search was 23 March 2017. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of hearing aids compared to a passive or active control in adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We used the standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane. The primary outcomes in this review were hearing-specific health-related quality of life and the adverse effect pain. Secondary outcomes were health-related quality of life, listening ability and the adverse effect noise-induced hearing loss. We used GRADE to assess the quality of the evidence for each outcome; this is indicated in italics. MAIN RESULTS We included five RCTs involving 825 participants. The studies were carried out in the USA and Europe, and were published between 1987 and 2017. Risk of bias across the studies varied. Most had low risk for selection, reporting and attrition bias, and a high risk for performance and detection bias because blinding was inadequate or absent.All participants had mild to moderate hearing loss. The average age across all five studies was between 69 and 83 years. The duration of the studies ranged between six weeks and six months.There was a large beneficial effect of hearing aids on hearing-specific health-related quality of life associated with participation in daily life as measured using the Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE, scale range 1 to 100) compared to the unaided/placebo condition (mean difference (MD) -26.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) -42.16 to -10.77; 722 participants; three studies) (moderate-quality evidence).There was a small beneficial effect of hearing aids on general health-related quality of life (standardised mean difference (SMD) -0.38, 95% CI -0.55 to -0.21; 568 participants; two studies) (moderate-quality evidence). There was a large beneficial effect of hearing aids on listening ability (SMD -1.88, 95% CI -3.24 to -0.52; 534 participants; two studies) (moderate-quality evidence).Adverse effects were measured in only one study (48 participants) and none were reported (very low-quality evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS The available evidence concurs that hearing aids are effective at improving hearing-specific health-related quality of life, general health-related quality of life and listening ability in adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. The evidence is compatible with the widespread provision of hearing aids as the first-line clinical management in those who seek help for hearing difficulties. Greater consistency is needed in the choice of outcome measures used to assess benefits from hearing aids. Further placebo-controlled studies would increase our confidence in the estimates of these effects and ascertain whether they vary according to age, gender, degree of hearing loss and type of hearing aid.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies exist on the clinical utility of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) in vocational rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to explore how Slovenian occupational therapists working in vocational rehabilitation, perceived the usefulness of the COPM in their everyday practice. METHODS A qualitative study using two focus group discussions was conducted. The meaning condensation method was applied to analyze the data. RESULTS Analysis revealed the following key themes: (1) the COPM facilitates collaboration with the client; (2) the COPM is a source of evidence and empowerment for occupational therapists; (3) the challenges that arise when using the COPM; (4) the use of COPM requires training; and (5) using the COPM results and understanding their meaning. CONCLUSIONS The study reveals new insights into using the COPM results in occupational therapy, especially into the contextual factors that influence the meaning and importance of work for clients in vocational rehabilitation.

Abstract
Given the increased survival rates in patients with pediatric central nervous system tumors, late effects such as treatment- and/or illness-related neurologic sequelae as well as neuropsychological deficits and social difficulties have moved into focus in follow-up care. In order to provide personalized treatment recommendations for pediatric brain tumor survivors, it is crucial not only to assess cognitive impairments but also to measure a patient's functional deficiencies, for example, restricted participation in everyday social activities. Thus, this article introduces the International Classification of Functioning-Children and Youth version (ICF-CY) as a conceptual framework for quantifying functional limitations and informing long-term care in pediatric neuro-oncology. A standardized self-report and proxy-report questionnaire for measuring participation is briefly discussed and specific recommendations based on so-called core sets for clinical practice in pediatric neuro-oncology are provided.

Abstract
PURPOSE To explore the operationalization of activity and participation-related measurement constructs through comparison of item phrasing, item response categories and scoring (scale properties) for two separate instruments targeting activities of daily living. METHOD Personal Care Participation Assessment and Resource Tool (PC-PART) item content was linked to ICF categories using established linking rules. Previously reported ICF-linked FIM content categories and ICF-linked PC-PART content categories were compared to identify common ICF categories between the instruments. Scale properties of both instruments were compared using a patient scenario to explore the instruments' separate measurement constructs. RESULTS The PC-PART and FIM shared 15 of the 53 level two ICF-linked categories identified across both instruments. Examination of the instruments' scale properties for items with overlapping ICF content, and exploration through a patient scenario, provided supportive evidence that the instruments measure different constructs. CONCLUSIONS While the PC-PART and FIM share common ICF-linked content, they measure separate constructs. Measurement construct was influenced by the instruments' scale properties. The FIM was observed to measure activity limitations and the PC-PART measured participation restrictions. Scrutiny of instruments' scale properties in addition to item content is critical in the operationalization of activity and participation-related measurement constructs. Implications for Rehabilitation When selecting outcome measures for use in rehabilitation it is necessary to examine both the content of the instruments' items and item phrasing, response categories and scoring, to clarify the construct being measured. Measurement of activity limitations as well as participation restrictions in activities of daily living required for community life provides a more comprehensive measurement of rehabilitation outcomes than measurement of either construct alone. To measure the effects of interventions used in rehabilitation, it is necessary to select measures with relevant content and scale properties that enable evaluation of change in the constructs that are expected to change, as a result of the rehabilitation intervention.

Abstract
Research suggests that community reintegration (CR) after injury and rehabilitation is difficult for many injured servicemembers. However, little is known about the influence of the contextual factors, both personal and environmental, that influence CR. Framed within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health and Social Cognitive Theory, the quantitative portion of a larger mixed-methods study of 51 injured, community-dwelling servicemembers compared the relative contribution of contextual factors between groups of servicemembers with different levels of CR. Cluster analysis indicated three groups of servicemembers showing low, moderate, and high levels of CR. Statistical analyses identified contextual factors (e.g., personal and environmental factors) that significantly discriminated between CR clusters. Multivariate analysis of variance and discriminant analysis indicated significant contributions of general self-efficacy, services and assistance barriers, physical and structural barriers, attitudes and support barriers, perceived level of disability and/or handicap, work and school barriers, and policy barriers on CR scores. Overall, analyses indicated that injured servicemembers with lower CR scores had lower general self-efficacy scores, reported more difficulty with environmental barriers, and reported their injuries as more disabling.

Abstract
The Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) structured interview captures critical components of activities and participation, including home, shopping, work, leisure, and family/friend relationships. Eighty-nine community dwelling adults with mild-moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI) were recruited (average = 2.7 year post injury). Nine items of the 19 items were used for the psychometrics analysis purpose. Factor analysis and item-level psychometrics were investigated using the Rasch partial-credit model. Although the principal components analysis of residuals suggests that a single measurement factor dominates the measure, the instrument did not meet the factor analysis criteria. Five items met the rating scale criteria. Eight items fit the Rasch model. The instrument demonstrated low person reliability (0.63), low person strata (2.07), and a slight ceiling effect. The GOSE demonstrated limitations in precisely measuring activities/participation for individuals after TBI. Future studies should examine the impact of the low precision of the GOSE on effect size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND People applying for a housing adaptation (HA) grant are at great risk of participation restrictions due to declining capacity and environmental barriers. AIM To investigate the association of person-, environment-, and activity-related factors with participation frequency and satisfaction among people applying for a housing adaptation grant. MATERIAL AND METHODS Baseline cross-sectional data were collected during home visits (n = 128). The association between person-, environment-, and activity-related factors and participation frequency and satisfaction was analysed using logistic regressions. RESULTS The main result is that frequency of participation outside the home is strongly associated with dependence in activities of daily living (ADL) and cognitive impairments, while satisfaction with participation outside the home is strongly associated with self-reported health. Moreover, aspects of usability in the home were associated with frequency of participation outside the home and satisfaction with participation in the home and outside the home alone. CONCLUSION Dependence in ADL, cognitive impairments, self-rated health, and aspects of usability are important factors contributing to participation frequency and satisfaction among people applying for a housing adaptation grant, particularly outside the home. SIGNIFICANCE Our findings indicate that more attention should be directed towards activity-related factors to facilitate participation among HA applicants, inside and outside the home.

Abstract
This clinical report describes the outpatient rehabilitation program for patients with multiple limb amputations enrolled in the Comprehensive Combat and Complex Casualty Care facility at the Naval Medical Center San Diego. Injury-specific data for 29 of these patients wounded by blast weaponry in Afghanistan in 2010 or 2011 were captured by the Expeditionary Medical Encounter Database at the Naval Health Research Center and were reviewed for this report. Their median Injury Severity Score was 27 (N = 29; range, 11-54). Patients averaged seven moderate to serious injuries (Abbreviated Injury Scale scores ≥2), including multiple injuries to lower limbs and injuries to the torso and/or upper limbs. All patients received care from numerous clinics, particularly physical therapy during the first 6 mo postinjury. Clinic use generally declined after the first 6 mo with the exception of prosthetic devices and repairs. The clinical team implemented the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory, 4th Revision (MPAI-4) to assess functioning at outpatient program initiation and discharge (n = 23). At program discharge, most patients had improved scores for the MPAI-4 items assessing mobility, pain, and transportation, but not employment. Case reports described rehabilitation for two patients with triple amputations and illustrated multispecialty care and contrasting solutions for limb prostheses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury is a major health problem that frequently leads to deficits in executive function. Self-regulation processes, such as goal-setting, may become disordered after traumatic brain injury, particularly when the frontal regions of the brain and their connections are involved. Such impairments reduce injured veterans' ability to return to work or school and to regain satisfactory personal lives. Understanding the neurologically disabling effects of brain injury on executive function is necessary for both the accurate diagnosis of impairment and the individual tailoring of rehabilitation processes to help returning service members recover independent function. METHODS/DESIGN The COMPASS(goal) (Community Participation through Self-Efficacy Skills Development) program develops and tests a novel patient-centered intervention framework for community re-integration psychosocial research in veterans with mild traumatic brain injury. COMPASS(goal) integrates the principles and best practices of goal self-management. Goal setting is a core skill in self-management training by which persons with chronic health conditions learn to improve their status and decrease symptom effects. Over a three-year period, COMPASS(goal) will recruit 110 participants with residual executive dysfunction three months or more post-injury. Inclusion criteria combine both clinical diagnosis and standardized scores that are >1 SD from the normative score on the Frontal Systems Rating Scale. Participants are randomized into two groups: goal-management (intervention) and supported discharge (control). The intervention is administered in eight consecutive, weekly sessions. Assessments occur at enrollment, post-intervention/supported discharge, and three months post-treatment follow-up. DISCUSSION Goal management is part of the "natural language" of rehabilitation. However, collaborative goal-setting between clinicians/case managers and clients can be hindered by the cognitive deficits that follow brain injury. Re-training returning veterans with brain injury in goal management, with appropriate help and support, would essentially treat deficits in executive function. A structured approach to goal self-management may foster greater independence and self-efficacy, help veterans gain insight into goals that are realistic for them at a given time, and help clinicians and veterans to work more effectively as true collaborators.

Abstract
As part of a larger mixed-methods research project investigating the influence of contextual factors on community reintegration (CR), this qualitative study sought to understand the subjective experiences of injured servicemembers and their perception of how contextual factors influenced their CR. More specifically, this article addresses how the influences of contextual factors differ between injured servicemembers with different levels of CR. Using a phenomenological framework, semistructured interviews were conducted with nine injured, community-dwelling servicemembers with low, moderate, and high levels of CR (three per category). Participants provided in-depth descriptions of the contextual barriers and facilitators of CR. Thematic analysis indicated the importance of social support and personal factors (e.g., self-efficacy, personal motivation) as the primary means for being reintegrated into their homes and communities. Other themes indicated factors that had an indirect but important influence on CR, including adapted sports, recreation, and other social programs; rehabilitation programs and therapists; school, work, and volunteering; and organizations and policies in developing social supports and personal factors. Comparisons between servicemembers indicated participants with low CR described many more contextual barriers and far fewer contextual facilitators to reintegration than those with high CR. Those with moderate CR were unique in that they described many facilitators and barriers to reintegration.

Abstract
Background Special Olympics athletes, as well as the general population of people with intellectual disabilities, are expected to have poorer gingival health. The aim of the study is to explore the prevalence of gingival signs of inflammation and its relationship to oral cleanliness and age among Special Olympics athletes from Europe and Eurasia. Material and Methods A retrospective longitudinal study was performed with data collected through standardized oral from 15.941 athletes from annual Special Olympics events held in 49 countries, from Europe and Eurasia between 2007 and 2012. The data was analysed descriptively, with One-Way ANOVA test and Chi-Square test. Results The level of significance was predetermined at a p value < 0.05. A total of 7,754 athletes presented with gingival signs (48.64%). There were no significant differences (p= 0,095) in mean gingival signs between age groups, however the association between mouth cleaning and age, was statistically significant. Conclusions The data suggests that there is a high prevalence of gingival signs among individuals with special needs; over 50% in more than 20 countries. Therefore, there is a serious need for education and preventive programs for the patients, their parents and caregivers. Key words:Gingivitis, prevalence, hygiene, disability, Special Olympics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the associations between impairments, self-management self-efficacy, self-management behaviors, and environmental factors and their role in predicting participation in meaningful activities among people with multiple sclerosis. DESIGN Online cross-sectional survey. SUBJECTS/PATIENTS Randomly selected individuals (n = 335) from a large multiple sclerosis patient registry. METHODS Participation in activities that are meaningful to the individual was measured with Community Participation Indicators (CPI), the dependent variable. Independent variables included symptom severity, activities of daily living limitations, cognitive problems, stages of change for physical activity, nutritional behaviors, self-efficacy, and environmental barriers. A backwards selection regression analysis was used to compare the relative contributions of independent variables in predicting the CPI. A path analysis was conducted to explore the associations between independent variables and their direct and indirect effects on the CPI. RESULTS The final regression model included self-management self-efficacy (β = 0.12), environmental barriers (β = -0.16), cognitive problems (β = -0.22), and stages of change for physical activity (β = 0.12). Path analysis indicated that impairments and environmental barriers might negatively influence self-management self-efficacy. Self-management self-efficacy might have indirect effects on the CPI via engagement in self-management behaviors. CONCLUSION Future research should explore whether interventions that promote self-management self-efficacy can facilitate participation in meaningful activities.

Abstract
Pompe disease is a rare, progressive lysosomal storage disorder for which enzyme therapy (ERT) became available in 2006. Four years earlier, the IPA/Erasmus MC survey, an international longitudinal prospective survey, was established to collect information on the natural course of the disease and its burden on patients. The survey is a collaboration between Erasmus MC University Medical Center and the International Pompe Association (IPA) and comprises an annual questionnaire that was specifically designed to assess the symptoms and problems of the disease. Here we review our results of over 10 years of follow-up, and discuss the survey's contribution to the field. Tracking 408 Pompe patients between 2002 and 2013, the cumulative data reveals the broad range of clinical manifestations that interfere with patients' lives. The survey allowed us to quantify the rate of disease progression and the positive effects of ERT on patients' quality of life, fatigue, and participation in daily life. Furthermore, it showed for the first time that survival is reduced in adult Pompe disease and improved by ERT. Our results show that a patient survey can serve as a valuable and reliable tool for obtaining quantifiable information on the natural course of a rare disease and on the effects of therapy in a large cohort over a very long time. Most importantly, by working with patient reported outcomes, the survey provides the data that is truly relevant to the patient and complementary to clinical datasets.

Abstract
The objective of the study was to develop statistical formulas to predict levels of community participation on discharge from post-hospital brain injury rehabilitation using retrospective data analysis. Data were collected from seven geographically distinct programmes in a home- and community-based brain injury rehabilitation provider network. Participants were 642 individuals with post-traumatic brain injury. Interventions consisted of home- and community-based brain injury rehabilitation. The main outcome measure was the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory (MPAI-4) Participation Index. Linear discriminant models using admission MPAI-4 Participation Index score and log chronicity correctly predicted excellent (no to minimal participation limitations), very good (very mild participation limitations), good (mild participation limitations), and limited (significant participation limitations) outcome levels at discharge. Predicting broad outcome categories for post-hospital rehabilitation programmes based on admission assessment data appears feasible and valid. Equations to provide patients and families with probability statements on admission about expected levels of outcome are provided. It is unknown to what degree these prediction equations can be reliably applied and valid in other settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically identify factors associated with participation in social and community activities for adult wheelchair users (WCUs). DATA SOURCES PubMed/MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO and EMBASE. STUDY SELECTION Quantitative and qualitative peer-reviewed publications were included, which were written in English, reported original research and investigated factors associated with social and community participation in adult WCUs. DATA EXTRACTION The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were used. Factors were organized using the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). DATA SYNTHESIS Thirty-five studies were selected: two of power WCUs, 10 of manual WCUs and 23 of both. Six qualitative studies, ranging in quality from 8/10 to 9/10 and 29 quantitative studies were included, ranging in quality from 4/15 to 11/15. Fifteen body function, 4 activity, 5 participation, 15 environmental and 14 personal factors were found to be associated with social and community participation. CONCLUSIONS Social and community participation of WCUs is associated with factors from all ICF domains. Wheelchair factors, accessibility, skills with wheelchair use, pain, finances and education are modifiable factors frequently reported to be associated with participation. Experimental research focusing on modifiable factors is needed to further our understanding of factors influencing participation among WCUs. Implications for Rehabilitation Wheelchair factors, including comfort and durability, are associated with participation and may be targeted in clinical intervention. Wheelchair skills are clinically modifiable and have been shown to improve participation in manual wheelchair users. Body functions (e.g. confidence, depression and fatigue) and personal factors (e.g. finances and level of education) may be considered for clinical intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Disability data inform resource allocation and utilization, characterize functioning and changes over time, and provide a mechanism to monitor progress toward promoting and protecting the rights of individuals with disability. Data collection efforts, however, define and measure disability in varied ways. Our objective was to see how the content of disability measures differed in five US national surveys and over time. METHODS Using the WHO ICF as a conceptual framework for measuring disability, we assessed the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), Current Population Survey (CPS), Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), National Survey of SSI Children and Families (NSCF), and American Community Survey (ACS) for their content coverage of disability relative to each of the four ICF components (i.e., body functions, body structures, activities and participation, and environment). We used second-level ICF three-digit codes to classify question content into categories within each ICF component and computed the proportion of categories within each ICF component that was represented in the questions selected from these five surveys. RESULTS The disability measures varied across surveys and years. The NHIS captured a greater proportion of the ICF body functions and body structures components than did other surveys. The SIPP captured the most content of the ICF activities and participation component, and the NSCF contained the most content of the ICF environmental factors component. CONCLUSIONS This research successfully illustrated demonstrated the utility of the ICF in examining the content of disability measures in five national surveys and over time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study investigated the perspective of people with mobility limitations (PWML) in Zambia, firstly of their accessibility to public buildings and spaces, and secondly of how their capacity to participate in a preferred lifestyle has been affected. OBJECTIVES Firstly to provide insight into the participation experiences of PWML in the social, cultural, economic, political and civic life areas and the relationship of these with disability in Zambia. Secondly to establish how the Zambian disability context shape the experiences of participation by PWML. METHOD A qualitative design was used to gather data from 75 PWML in five of the nine provinces of Zambia. Focus group discussions and personal interviews were used to examine the accessibility of the built environment and how this impacted on the whole family's participation experiences. The nominal group technique was utilised to rank inaccessible buildings and facilities which posed barriers to opportunities in life areas and how this interfered with the whole family's lifestyle. RESULTS Inaccessibility of education institutions, workplaces and spaces have contributed to reduced participation with negative implications for personal, family, social and economic aspects of the lives of participants. Government buildings, service buildings, and transportation were universally identified as most important but least accessible. CONCLUSION Zambians with mobility limitations have been disadvantaged in accessing services and facilities provided to the public, depriving them and their dependants of full and equitable life participation because of reduced economic capacity. This study will assist in informing government of the need to improve environmental access to enable equal rights for all citizens.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 'Learning disabilities' (LD) refer to a wide group of neurological disorders caused by deficits in the central nervous system which influence the individual's ability to maintain-, process or convey information to others in an efficient way. A worldwide discussion about the definitions of LD continues while a conceptual framework for studying the diverse life outcomes of adults with LD is still missing. OBJECTIVE The aim was to review the literature on the activity and participation of adults with LD based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) concepts. METHODS "PsychInfo", "Eric" and "PubMed" were searched for relevant literature according to the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). After a three-stage process, 62 articles relevant for domains of activity and participation of adults with LD were included in the review. RESULTS Thirty-two articles focused on the domain of major life areas of education, work and employment and twelve articles focused on the domain of learning and applying knowledge. Limitations in activity and participation of the population with LD in these domains are recognized and discussed. Eighteen additional articles demonstrated that adults with LD confront difficulties in various life domains (e.g., communication, interpersonal interactions, mobility, and domestic life), however literature concerning these domains is scarce. CONCLUSIONS The ICF can be useful for further exploration of activity and participation characteristics of adults with LD in various life domains. Such exploration is required in order to gain a wider perspective of their functional characteristics and daily needs.

Objective: This study explores, based on the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health, the consequences of different operationalizations of participation in regression models predicting participation in one sample of patients. Design: Cross-sectional, comparative study. Setting: Department of Neurology of a University Hospital. Subjects: A total of 677 patients with a Neuromuscular Disease. Measures: Participation was measured using the Neuromuscular Disease Impact Profile questionnaire, the RAND-36 Item Health Survey (social functioning, role limitations—physical, role limitations—emotional) and the Impact on Participation and Autonomy questionnaire (autonomy outdoors, social relations). Potential predictors of participation included type of neuromuscular disease, body functions (measured with Neuromuscular Disease Impact Profile), activities (measured with Neuromuscular Disease Impact Profile), environmental factors (measured with Neuromuscular Disease Impact Profile), and personal factors (measured with the 13-item Sense of Coherence questionnaire). The results were controlled for patient characteristics. Results: Participation was statistically predicted by different determinants depending on the operationalization used for participation. Additionally, the regression coefficients differed significantly. Body functions and activities were predictors in five out of six operationalizations of participation. Sense of coherence predicted participation in all of the operationalizations. The explained variance of the different models ranged from 25% (RAND-36 role limitations—emotional) to 65% (Neuromuscular Disease Impact Profile). Conclusions: Different operationalizations of participation result in different prediction models. Lack of conceptual consensus makes participation an ambiguous concept in research, and this ambiguity makes evidence-based decisions directed at enhancing participation difficult. Participation needs to be operationalized in an unambiguous and standard way in order to improve the comparability of outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) conceptualizes the bio-psycho-social model of health and illness, but cannot be used as an assessment instrument in routine care. The objective of this study was to psychometrically test a self-report instrument for measuring activities and social participation (ICF-Mental-A&P) of psychotherapy patients. METHODS For the psychometric evaluation of the ICF-Mental-A&P, participants completed a questionnaire on symptoms, interpersonal problems and quality of life at admission and at discharge of in-patient treatment. A consecutive sample of 2256 patients diagnosed with at least one mental disorder was recruited from eight in-patient units in Germany. RESULTS After item selection, the ICF-Mental-A&P contained 31 items comprising six subscales examined by confirmatory factor analysis. Subscales had acceptable internal consistency (α = 0.78-0.90) and test-retest correlations (r = 0.71-0.86). There were several expected correlations (r ≥ 0.6) between ICF-Mental-A&P scores and measures of symptoms and interpersonal problems. CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest that the ICF-Mental-A&P is a comprehensive, reliable measure of activities and participation according to the ICF concept for patients with mental disorders. It may therefore be an important instrument in clinical practice and could help to determine and evaluate functioning-related and patient-focused treatment outcomes.

Disabil Health J 2013; 7:105-13. [PMID: 24411514 DOI: 10.1016/j.dhjo.2013.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2012] [Revised: 09/09/2013] [Accepted: 09/15/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cultural events are abundant in a midwestern college town; however, individuals with disabilities have expressed concerns about their accessibility. Policymakers, business owners, and managers often ignore disability-related issues. Research shows accessibility is the main environmental barrier to participation in arts and cultural events. Individuals with disabilities are disconnected from managers of cultural organizations and city leaders. The lack of awareness about accessibility, including access to the built environment, impedes participation in cultural events in this college town. OBJECTIVES To encourage the participation of people with disabilities in cultural events in a midwestern college town, a bold strategic project was initiated to conduct a community-based needs assessment as a foundation for an action plan. Participation in arts and culture was selected as a unique focal point for exploring ways to enhance accessibility. METHODS Thirty-nine stakeholders participated in four different focus groups: individuals with disabilities, managers of cultural organizations, caregivers and health care providers, and other stakeholders including politicians. Critical problem areas identified were mapped onto the environmental factors in the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF). RESULTS Three themes emerged: 1) limited awareness about accessibility among the residents with disabilities and a lack of awareness about disability-related issues and accessibility among the managers of cultural organizations; 2) the need for a "central information clearinghouse" to share, provide, and retrieve information; 3) the need for inclusive city-level policies. CONCLUSIONS Raising awareness about disabilities and accessibility, providing a clearinghouse for information sharing and implementing inclusive policies are crucial to strengthen participation in community life.

Cognitive function after cardiac arrest and temperature management; rationale and description of a sub-study in the Target Temperature Management trial. BMC Cardiovasc Disord 2013; 13:85. [PMID: 24118853 PMCID: PMC3818444 DOI: 10.1186/1471-2261-13-85] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2013] [Accepted: 10/09/2013] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mild to moderate cognitive impairment is common amongst long-term survivors of cardiac arrest. In the Target Temperature Management trial (TTM-trial) comatose survivors were randomized to 33°C or 36°C temperature control for 24 hours after cardiac arrest and the effects on survival and neurological outcome assessed. This protocol describes a sub-study of the TTM-trial investigating cognitive dysfunction and its consequences for patients’ and relatives’ daily life. Methods/Design Sub-study sites in five European countries included surviving TTM patients 180 days after cardiac arrest. In addition to the instruments for neurological function used in the main trial, sub-study patients were specifically tested for difficulties with memory (Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test), attention (Symbol Digit Modalities Test) and executive function (Frontal Assessment Battery). Cognitive impairments will be related to the patients’ degree of participation in society (Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory-4), health related quality of life (Short Form Questionnaire–36v2©), and the caregivers’ situation (Zarit Burden Interview©). The two intervention groups (33°C and 36°C) will be compared with a group of myocardial infarction controls. Discussion This large international sub-study of a randomized controlled trial will focus on mild to moderate cognitive impairment and its consequences for cardiac arrest survivors and their caregivers. By using an additional battery of tests we may be able to detect more subtle differences in cognitive function between the two intervention groups than identified in the main study. The results of the study could be used to develop a relevant screening model for cognitive dysfunction after cardiac arrest. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov:
NCT01946932.
