Aims: To analyse the measurement properties of the Spanish version of the COPM (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure) in older adult rehabilitation inpatients.
Method: A sample of 172 users from 17 inpatient care facilities for older adults (47% nursing homes) participated in a quantitative prospective study. We examined validity by correlating the COPM with the Barthel Index (BI), the Lawton Instrumental Activities of Daily Living scale (IADL), the EuroQol-five domains-three level questionnaire (EQ-5D-3L), and the Client-Centred Rehabilitation Questionnaire (CCRQ) and by examining associations with demographic variables.
Purpose: The aim of the study is to present the process of translation, adaptation and validation of the Client-Centred Rehabilitation Questionnaire (CCRQ) in the Spanish context.
Methods: The process integrates two sequential phases. Phase 1 consists of a questionnaire translation and back-translation process conducted by a panel of experts, and a pilot study.
Essential and Non-essential Trace Elements in Milks and Plant-Based Drinks.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the concentrations of essential and non-essential/toxic elements in cow and goat milk, various plant-based drinks, and infant formulas from both organic and conventional sources.
- The analysis, using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), found that non-essential toxic elements were mostly absent, apart from lead detected in a few samples, and that essential nutrient levels varied based on sterilization methods and drink sources.
- The results suggest that goat milk is a good option for essential nutrients, while almond and soy drinks are recommended for their high calcium and potassium/magnesium content, helping consumers make informed dietary choices.
Introduction: Scientific evidence that supports the psychometric properties of the COPM as a tool to enable personalized care has been repeatedly shown. However, there is a lack of studies about its utility within the Spanish research community.
Aim: This qualitative study seeks to ascertain the perceptions of professionals from social health centers, nursing homes, and Spanish rehabilitation services about the clinical utility of the COPM as a standardized instrument.
