Using PRPP-Assessment for measuring change in everyday activities by home-based videos: An exploratory case series study in children with multiple disabilities.

Background: Currently, paediatric health care aims to use a child-centred tailor-made approach. In order to design tailored occupational therapy, the implementation of personalised occupation-based measurements that guide and evaluate goal setting and are responsive to change is necessary.

Purpose: Primarily, this study explored the potential of the Perceive, Recall, Plan, and Perform (PRPP) assessment to measure the change in the performance of children with multiple disabilities.

Enhancing the role of the social network in activity (re)engagement post-stroke: a focus group study with rehabilitation professionals.

Background: People post-stroke are at risk of not being able to participate in valued activities. It is important that rehabilitation professionals prepare people post-stroke for the transition home and provide needed support when they live at home. Several authors have suggested that members of the broad social network should play an active role in rehabilitation.

Tailored interviewing to uncover the perspectives of children with multiple disabilities on daily activities: A qualitative analyses of interview methods and interviewer skills.

Introduction: Uncovering the perspective of children with multiple disabilities is important in health care to enable person-centred health care. For occupational therapists, uncovering the child perspective on meaningful activities is necessary to set appropriate goals for treatment. It is not always evident that children with multiple disabilities can express themselves in an interview.

The reliability and validity of the perceive, recall, plan and perform assessment in children with a mitochondrial disorder.

Purpose: To investigate the reliability and validity of the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform System of Task Analysis (PRPP-Assessment) by parent-provided videos of children with mitochondrial disorders.

Methods: Videos of 13 children performing 3-7 activities each were the subject of study, resulting in 65 activities. These were scored using the PRPP-Assessment by 11 raters.

Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment Based on Parent-Provided Videos of Children with Mitochondrial Disorder: Action Design Research on Implementation Challenges.

Aims: Performing the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment, using video material of everyday life, seems sensible to lower the patient burden, enhance ecological validity, and provide care at a distance. However, receipt of adequate video material is not self-evident and assessing videos can be challenging. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the process of gaining video material and to optimize the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos.

The role of the social network during inpatient rehabilitation: A qualitative study exploring the views of older stroke survivors and their informal caregivers.

Background: After discharge, stroke survivors and their informal caregivers need support from their social networks to resume their most valued activities. Rehabilitation professionals could help them establish a strong support system.

Objective: Explore how older stroke survivors and their primary informal caregivers expect to resume their valued activities after discharge, and discover their ideas about involving, informing and educating their family members, friends and important others during inpatient rehabilitation so that, once home, they will have adequate support.

Applied cognitive strategy behaviours in people with parkinson's disease during daily activities: A cross-sectional study.

Objective: To explore the use of applied cognitive strategy behaviours during performance of daily activities in people with Parkinson's disease.

Design: Quantitative cross-sectional design.

Methods: A total of 190 persons living at home with non-dementing Parkinson's disease were videotaped while performing a self-chosen activity in their natural environment.

Activity resumption after acquired brain injury: the influence of the social network as described by social workers.

Purpose: To understand how the social network of patients with acquired brain injury facilitates or hinders resumption of their activities, such as social and leisure activities, and how this affects patients' well-being and quality of life.

Methods: Thematic analysis was applied to 70 narratives about family members, friends, neighbors and colleagues helping or hindering patients in resuming their activities. The narratives were derived from social workers with extensive experience with brain-injured patients and their social networks.

Factors influencing the implementation of Home-Based Stroke Rehabilitation: Professionals' perspective.

Background: Stroke has a major impact on survivors and their social environment. Care delivery is advocated to become more client-centered and home-based because of their positive impact on client outcomes. The objective of this study was to explore professionals' perspectives on the provision of Home-Based Stroke Rehabilitation (HBSR) in the Netherlands and on the barriers and facilitators influencing the implementation of HBSR in daily practice.

Everyday Activities for Children with Mitochondrial Disorder: A Retrospective Chart Review.

Background: Engagement in everyday activities is important for the health and wellbeing of children. Children with mitochondrial disorders have impaired energy production leading to limitations in activity. It is unknown which activities these children perform and if the nature of activities of low-functioning children differs from average-functioning children.

Valued activities and informal caregiving in stroke: a scoping review.

Map the literature about valued activities and informal caregiving post stroke and determine the nature, extent, and consequences of caregivers' activity changes. A scoping review was undertaken, searching Pubmed, Cinahl, PsycInfo, and Google Scholar. Two researchers independently identified relevant articles, extracted study characteristics and findings, and assigned codes describing the topics and outcomes.

What environmental factors influence resumption of valued activities post stroke: a systematic review of qualitative and quantitative findings.

Objective: Identify the environmental factors that influence stroke-survivors' reengagement in personally valued activities and determine what specific environmental factors are related to specific valued activity types.

Data Sources: PubMed, CINAHL and PsycINFO were searched until June 2016 using multiple search-terms for stroke, activities, disability, and home and community environments.

Review Methods: An integrated mixed-method systematic review of qualitative, quantitative and mixed-design studies was conducted.

The Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP) system for persons with Parkinson's disease: a psychometric study.

Background: The Perceive, Recall, Plan & Perform (PRPP) system of task analysis might be feasible to evaluate occupational performance and information processing strategies for persons with Parkinson's disease (PD).

Aim: To evaluate: (1) the random error between raters (inter-rater study), (2) the random error within raters (intra-rater study), and (3) the internal consistency of the PRPP.

Materials And Methods: (1) video-recorded performance of meaningful activities of 13 Dutch persons with PD, scored independently by 38 Dutch PRPP trained occupational therapists were included in the analysis.

Role of Environmental Factors on Resuming Valued Activities Poststroke: A Systematic Review of Qualitative and Quantitative Findings.

Objective: To investigate how reengagement in valued activities poststroke is influenced by environmental factors.

Data Sources: PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched to June 2015 using multiple search terms for stroke, activities, disability, and home and community environments, with the following constraints: English, humans, and adults.

Study Selection: Studies were included that contained data on how reengagement in valued activities of community-dwelling stroke survivors was influenced by the environment.

Client-centred therapy in multiple sclerosis: more intensive diagnostic evaluation and less intensive treatment.

Objective: Despite beneficial effects on communication and process measures, client-centred practice has been shown to result in poor functional outcomes. To examine a potential explanation for poor functional outcomes, this paper aims to assess whether in client-centred therapy more time is spent on diagnostic consultation and less time on actual treatment compared to usual care.

Method: A multicentre cluster randomised controlled trial was performed.

Occupational therapy for care home residents with stroke.

Background: Stroke is a worldwide problem and is a leading cause of adult disability, resulting in dependency in activities of daily living (ADL) for around half of stroke survivors. It is estimated that up to 25% of all care home residents in the USA and in the UK have had a stroke. Stroke survivors who reside in care homes are likely to be more physically and cognitively impaired and therefore more dependent than those able to remain in their own home.

A cluster randomised controlled trial on the efficacy of client-centred occupational therapy in multiple sclerosis: good process, poor outcome.

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of client-centred occupational therapy (OT) according to a client-centred process framework, as compared to usual care OT, in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Method: A multicentre cluster randomised controlled trial with the institution (i.e.

A survey of evidence-based practise among Dutch occupational therapists.

This study explored how the evidenced-based practise (EBP) is perceived by Dutch occupational therapists (OTs), what sources of research data are used to make clinical decisions, and what barriers are identified in implementing EBP. A self-administered, pre-tested, questionnaire was distributed through an email survey and postal mail among the 200 randomly stratified selected OTs out of a total population of 2,019 Dutch OTs. Analyses of data comprised descriptive statistics of all variables and test statistics to evaluate the differences between demographical groups.

Reliability of the Perceive, Recall, Plan, and Perform (PRPP) assessment in community-dwelling dementia patients: test consistency and inter-rater agreement.

Background: The aim of this study is to evaluate aspects of inter-rater reliability of the Perceive, Recall, Plan, and Perform (PRPP) system of task analysis for assessing daily functioning of home-dwelling dementia patients.

Method: Videotaped recordings of 30 German patients with dementia performing a relevant daily task in their own homes were scored independently by ten Dutch PRPP trained occupational therapists, randomly selected from a pool of 25. Intra-class correlations (ICC) (one-way single measure) were calculated for PRPP Stage One independence score, and PRPP Stage Two information processing scale, quadrant scales, and subquadrant scales from a total of 300 PRPP scores.
