Abstract
Background
Multiple sclerosis is the most important cause of non-injury-related disability in young adults. The disease has unknown causes and distresses and affects daily activities. While therapeutic interventions mainly focus on body function and structure to reduce impairment, Cognitive Orientation to Daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is a cognitive approach that provides intervention at the level of activity and participation.
Purpose
We aim to examine the effects of CO-OP approach on fatigue, quality of life, occupational performance, and satisfaction in people living with multiple sclerosis; and to examine whether they could transfer strategies and skills learned during CO-OP to untrained goals.
Methods
A pre-post design was used. Assessment tools included Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale, Fatigue Impact Scale and the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Six individuals living with multiple sclerosis participated in 10 CO-OP sessions twice a week. The sessions were held in an environment of the participants' choice, along with an extra session added to determine the goals. The study was registered in the ethics committee of University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences (IR.USWR.REC.1399.089).
Results
The performance improved (2-point positive change) in 12 out of 18 trained goals and in three out of six untrained goals (self-report). The improvement was maintained at a 3-month follow-up assessment. There was a statistically significant difference in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (χ2 = 11.565, p = 0.003 same for performance and satisfaction scores), Fatigue Impact Scale (χ2 = 7.000, p = 0.030), and Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale scores over time (χ2 = 9.478, p = 0.009) respectively.
Conclusion
The CO-OP approach has the potential to improve daily activity performance, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life for people living with multiple sclerosis. A definitive randomised controlled trial is required.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Occupational Therapy Journal is a leading international peer reviewed publication presenting influential, high quality innovative scholarship and research relevant to occupational therapy. The aim of the journal is to be a leader in the dissemination of scholarship and evidence to substantiate, influence and shape policy and occupational therapy practice locally and globally. The journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical papers, and reviews. Preference will be given to manuscripts that have a sound theoretical basis, methodological rigour with sufficient scope and scale to make important new contributions to the occupational therapy body of knowledge. AOTJ does not publish protocols for any study design
The journal will consider multidisciplinary or interprofessional studies that include occupational therapy, occupational therapists or occupational therapy students, so long as ‘key points’ highlight the specific implications for occupational therapy, occupational therapists and/or occupational therapy students and/or consumers.
