Background. Korean university students (KUS) face numerous challenges that can jeopardize their well-being, including academic stress, peer pressure, irregular sleep patterns, unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical exercise, and difficulties in time management, resulting in unhealthy habits and fluctuations in lifestyle. Consequently, there is a growing need for interventions tailored to this population. Aim. This study explored the effects of a Lifestyle Redesign (LR) intervention on Korean university students’ well-being including occupational participation, satisfaction, perceived stress levels, and quality of life. Method. A quasi-experimental study with 33 KUS (17 intervention, 16 control) assessed the effects of a 10-week LR intervention on well-being of the students. Pre- and postintervention changes were measured using Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Stress Response Inventory (SRI), and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale Abbreviated Version (WHOQOL-BREF). The intervention, delivered by trained OTs, comprised of individual and group sessions. Results. Statistically significant improvement was observed in occupational performance. While statistical significance was not consistently achieved in the rest of other areas, the LR group displayed positive trends. The LR group exhibited higher COPM satisfaction scores, lower SRI scores (indicating reduced stress), and elevated WHOQOL-BREF scores compared to the control group. Conclusion. This study contributes to the understanding of the importance of addressing lifestyle changes and habits in the well-being of university students, especially in the context of academic stress and peer pressure. Future research with larger, more diverse samples and extended intervention periods may offer further insights into the benefits of LR programs in university settings.

<i>Background and Purpose</i>. Leisure, as an occupation, played a crucial role in promoting individuals’ health and well-being. However, the specific impact of leisure as an intervention for individuals with substance use disorder remains unclear. This pilot study was aimed at investigating the effect of a leisure intervention on occupational performance and occupational balance in individuals with substance use disorder. <i>Methods</i>. The sample for this quasiexperimental pretest–posttest with a two-month follow-up design comprised nine individuals aged between 18 and 55 years, selected using a convenience sampling method. The intervention consisted of a 2-month group leisure participation program, conducted twice a week, followed by a 2-month follow-up period. Primary outcome measures included occupational performance and occupational balance, and secondary outcome measures were leisure participation, quality of life, and drug craving. Outcome measures were assessed three times: preintervention, postintervention, and after the follow-up period. The outcome measures included the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Occupational Balance Questionnaire-11 (OBQ11), Nottingham Leisure Questionnaire (NLQ), 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Desire to Drug Questionnaire (DDQ). Data analysis was performed using the Friedman test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test as a post hoc procedure, with a significance level set at 5%. <i>Results</i>. The findings showed significant improvements in participants’ occupational performance in postintervention and follow-up assessments (<span><svg height="11.7782pt" style="vertical-align:-3.42938pt" version="1.1" viewbox="-0.0498162 -8.34882 18.973 11.7782" width="18.973pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,11.342,0)"></path></g></svg><span></span><span><svg height="11.7782pt" style="vertical-align:-3.42938pt" version="1.1" viewbox="22.555183800000002 -8.34882 21.921 11.7782" width="21.921pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,22.605,0)"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,28.845,0)"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,31.809,0)"><use xlink:href="#g113-49"></use></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,38.049,0)"></path></g></svg>,</span></span> <span><svg height="8.55521pt" style="vertical-align:-0.2063904pt" version="1.1" viewbox="-0.0498162 -8.34882 16.751 8.55521" width="16.751pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,0,0)"></path></g><g transform="matrix(.013,0,0,-0.013,9.12,0)"></path></g></svg><span></span><span><svg height="8.55521pt" style="vertical-align:-0.2063904pt" version="1.1" viewbox="20.3331838 -8.34882 21.912 8.55521" width="21.912pt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"

Occupational therapists have long been involved in assistive technology (AT) provision worldwide. AT is recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO) to enhance functioning, independence, and autonomy and ultimately promote well-being for people living with disabilities. With the digitalisation of societies, the everyday lives and occupations of individuals are changing, becoming more reliant on digital solutions. The development of digital assistive technology (DAT) also offers opportunities for people with disabilities to access, interact, and pilot the digital world. However, we do not know how occupational therapists are involved in DAT provision worldwide. A survey was conducted in the global occupational therapist's community in June 2022 to describe DAT provision and the factors influencing it. Occupational therapy practitioners were included (n = 660) in the analysis. In DAT provision, occupational therapists mostly provide advice to people, assess their needs, provide instruction or training, prescribe DAT, and fit DAT to people and their environment. The clients served through DAT provision are most frequently people with neurological impairments, chronic illnesses, sensory impairments, and older people. The reasons for providing DAT focus on education, work, school, and leisure. It is expected that DAT provision will enhance independence, self-esteem, occupational participation, and social relationships. Issues faced by occupational therapists when providing DAT are costs of product and funding schemes, sufficient knowledge, and access to knowledge sources. Survey respondents are mostly from Western countries with access to the Internet and the digital world, including having digital literacy, highlighting the digital divide that exists between world regions and countries, but also within countries worldwide. There is a need to continue research to better understand the issues related to digitalisation and the digital participation of people living with disabilities.
长期以来，职业治疗师一直在世界各地参与提供辅助技术（AT）。世界卫生组织（WHO）承认，辅助技术可以增强残疾人的功能、独立性和自主性，并最终促进他们的福祉。随着社会的数字化，个人的日常生活和职业也在发生变化，变得更加依赖于数字化解决方案。数字辅助技术（DAT）的发展也为残疾人访问、互动和引导数字世界提供了机会。然而，我们并不了解职业治疗师在全球范围内是如何参与提供数字辅助技术的。2022 年 6 月，我们在全球职业治疗师群体中开展了一项调查，以描述 DAT 的提供情况及其影响因素。职业治疗从业人员（n = 660）被纳入分析范围。在提供 DAT 的过程中，职业治疗师主要向人们提供建议，评估他们的需求，提供指导或培训，开具 DAT，并使 DAT 与人们及其环境相匹配。通过提供 DAT 服务的客户多为神经系统受损者、慢性病患者、感官障碍者和老年人。提供 DAT 的原因主要集中在教育、工作、学校和休闲方面。提供 DAT 的预期目的是增强独立性、自尊、职业参与和社会关系。职业治疗师在提供 DAT 时面临的问题是产品成本和资助计划、足够的知识和获取知识的途径。调查受访者大多来自西方国家，他们有机会接触互联网和数字世界，包括具备数字素养，这凸显了世界不同地区和国家之间以及世界不同国家内部存在的数字鸿沟。有必要继续开展研究，以更好地了解与数字化和残疾人数字参与有关的问题。

Objective. To provide an evidence-based description of how the occupational therapy profession operates in Saudi Arabia. Methods. A case study methodology set out an evidence-based description of occupational therapy in Saudi Arabia. Three procedures were used: (1) a structured narrative review of publications on occupational therapy in Saudi Arabia based on searches of seven healthcare databases; (2) an audit of “grey literature” about or referring to occupational therapy education, practice, research, or the profession in Saudi Arabia using Google Scholar, Google search, official documents and websites, and relevant global organisation such as the WFOT website and documents; and (3) consultation with occupational therapists to further discuss emerging evidence from peer-reviewed articles and grey literature about occupational therapy in Saudi Arabia. Data were collected in Arabic and English. Findings. Occupational therapy in Saudi Arabia is a rapidly growing and emerging profession primarily focused on rehabilitation practice. Between 2010 and 2019, seven academic organisations commenced bachelor’s degree programmes. Occupational therapy services in Saudi Arabia are concentrated in city-based secondary and tertiary healthcare services targeting rehabilitation and disability support. The practice aims to promote the reduction in impairment and increase activity performance and participation in valued life roles. Despite the increasing demand for occupational therapy services, there needs to be more access to and availability of their services. Enhancement of the awareness of occupational therapy among the public and other healthcare professionals is needed. A consistent definition of occupational therapy in Saudi Arabia would strengthen the profession, along with a national scope of practice, practice guidelines, increased workforce and development, and professional education information. Conclusion. Occupational therapy in Saudi Arabia is growing regarding the size of the workforce and the number of programmes and services provided, thus contributing to the health and well-being of the population primarily through rehabilitation. Further development of the profession is necessary.

<i>Objective</i>. This study examined the preliminary reliability and validity of the PedsQL™ Family Impact Module (PedsQL FIM) in families of children with Barth syndrome (BTHS). <i>Method</i>. A total of 72 parents with children or youth between the ages of 5 and 19 participated in this study. Thirty-three parents of children with BTHS and 39 parents of unaffected children completed the PedsQL FIM and a demographic information form. Internal consistency reliability and item-total correlations were calculated to test the reliability of the PedsQL FIM. Construct validity was examined using the known-groups method. We estimated the mean score differences of the PedsQL FIM between the two groups using three different models, including unadjusted, multivariate regression, and propensity score matching with inverse probability of treatment weighting (PS-IPTW) models. <i>Results</i>. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were greater than 0.70 for all scales of the PedsQL FIM, except for the communication scale.

This study examined the preliminary reliability and validity of the PedsQL™ Family Impact Module (PedsQL FIM) in families of children with Barth syndrome (BTHS). <i>Method</i>. A total of 72 parents with children or youth between the ages of 5 and 19 participated in this study. Thirty-three parents of children with BTHS and 39 parents of unaffected children completed the PedsQL FIM and a demographic information form. Internal consistency reliability and item-total correlations were calculated to test the reliability of the PedsQL FIM. Construct validity was examined using the known-groups method. We estimated the mean score differences of the PedsQL FIM between the two groups using three different models, including unadjusted, multivariate regression, and propensity score matching with inverse probability of treatment weighting (PS-IPTW) models. <i>Results</i>. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients were greater than 0.70 for all scales of the PedsQL FIM, except for the communication scale.

Purpose. To investigate the usability of public play spaces for children with disabilities by exploring their experiences in accessing and using these spaces and to further discuss recommendations for designing such spaces that are usable for these children. Methods. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was employed to explore the experience of children with disabilities regarding the public play spaces. Seven children and their caregivers from two inclusive elementary schools in Central Java Province, Indonesia, participated in the study. Online semistructured interviews with the children were held using Zoom, followed by telephonic interviews with their parents. In addition, video recordings of the observation of the children’s participation in the play spaces were gathered. The interview and video observation data were analyzed using van Manen’s hermeneutic phenomenology thematic analysis method. Results. Five themes arose regarding the experiences of children with disabilities of accessing and using the public play spaces: (1) where time appeared to speed up, (2) “I like the tall one … I like extreme,” (3) fostering connectedness, (4) the need for a safe space, and (5) how a play space should be. Conclusion. The public play spaces have meaningful values for the children with disabilities and their family, as they offered the opportunities to play, explore, interact with friends and families, enjoy nature, interact with animals, and learn. However, it is essential to provide a safe space in which children are free from physical and emotional harm, so that they can fully participate with confidence and a sense of autonomy. Nevertheless, it was also found that children, regardless of their abilities, craved risky and challenging play opportunities. This study also highlights the necessity of awareness-raising intervention programs to foster the inclusion of children with disabilities in public play space settings.
目的通过探究残疾儿童进入和使用公共游戏空间的经验，调查这些空间对残疾儿童的可用性，并进一步讨论为残疾儿童设计此类空间的建议。研究方法。采用诠释学现象学方法探讨残疾儿童在公共游戏空间方面的体验。来自印度尼西亚中爪哇省两所全纳小学的七名儿童及其看护人参与了研究。研究人员使用 Zoom 对这些儿童进行了在线半结构式访谈，随后又与他们的父母进行了电话访谈。此外，还收集了观察儿童参与游戏空间的视频记录。访谈和视频观察数据采用 van Manen 的诠释现象学主题分析方法进行分析。分析结果关于残疾儿童进入和使用公共游戏空间的经历，产生了五个主题：（1）时间似乎在加速，（2）"我喜欢高个子......我喜欢极端"，（3）促进联系，（4）对安全空间的需求，以及（5）游戏空间应该是怎样的。结论。公共游戏空间对残疾儿童及其家庭来说具有重要价值，因为它们提供了游戏、探索、与朋友和家人互动、享受自然、与动物互动和学习的机会。然而，必须提供一个安全的空间，使儿童免受身体和精神伤害，这样他们才能带着自信和自主感充分参与。然而，研究也发现，儿童无论能力如何，都渴望有风险和挑战性的游戏机会。本研究还强调，有必要开展提高认识的干预项目，以促进残疾儿童融入公共游戏空间环境。

<i>Background</i>. People with disabilities face considerable obstacles when exercising, which precludes them from the social and health benefits of physical activity. Especially for individuals with paraplegia with spinal cord injuries, it is necessary to maintain continuous participation in physical activity even after discharge, as it helps to maintain mobility and daily living activities through upper body strength. However, the participation rate of people with disabilities in physical activity in Korea is still low, mainly due to the lack of exercise equipment and facilities. <i>Objectives</i>. The aim of this study is to identify aspects that can be improved for better accessibility to exercise equipment for individuals with paraplegia with spinal cord injuries and to reach a consensus on possible guidelines for accessible exercise equipment. <i>Methods</i>. This study reviews and evaluated the usability of four existing upper-body exercise equipment for individuals with paraplegia with spinal cord injuries. To assess usability, task performance scores and time were measured, and a survey was conducted on safety and satisfaction. Based on these results, areas for improvement were identified. Through literature review, usability results, and opinions from various stakeholders, eight requirements for universal accessibility were proposed. <i>Results</i>. It is necessary to consider how wheelchair users access the exercise equipment. The access method to the exercise area (facility regulations, auxiliary equipment to be provided, etc.) and placement of exercise equipment should also be considered. Information such as explanations of the exercise equipment and how to use it should be located within the wheelchair user’s field of vision. Considering the participation rate in sports for people with disabilities in Korea, it is necessary to explain the exact exercise equipment and exercise method. It is also necessary to consider how wheelchair users transfer from the wheelchair to the seat of the exercise equipment. Parts that require manipulation of each exercise equipment must be within the wheelchair user’s range of motion. Various supports or assistive devices that provide body support according to each piece of equipment are needed. In addition to the wheelchair’s own brake, it is necessary to provide a fixing device so that the wheelchair does not move during the exercise. <i>Conclusion</i>. For people with spinal cord injuries, the arm ergometer, aerobic exercise equipment, showed higher scores in performance, stability, and satisfaction compared to other exercise equipment. Among the strength exercise equipment, shoulder press had an effect on performance, seated lat pull-down had an effect on stability, and seated chest press had an effect on satisfaction. Therefore, when selecting exercise equipment, it is necessary to recommend aerobic and strength exercise equipment according to the preferences of people with spinal cord injuries. Wh

Purpose. This study’s purpose was to determine the impact of weighted blanket use on moderate to severe insomnia in adults with sensory sensitivity greater than the average population. Methods. For this study, a four-week, single-case, multiple-participant ABA study design was used. Through convenience sampling, four participants scoring 15 or greater on the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), which categorizes them as having moderate to severe insomnia, and much more than most people in sensory sensitivity on the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile were recruited. First, seven-day baseline sleep data was gathered, followed by two weeks of weighted blanket use, concluding with a seven-day withdrawal phase. Additional outcome measures included: Tuck and Snooze Survey, Consensus Sleep Diary Morning, and Additional Sleep Diary Questions. Data analysis included visual analysis, mean comparisons, Tau- calculations, and pre- to post-ISI category comparisons. Results. All participants’ ISI scores were categorized as one level less severe postintervention. All participants demonstrated increased sleep quality, and three participants showed an increase in sleep duration based on individual mean comparisons between baseline and intervention phases. Conclusion. Weighted blankets appear beneficial in reducing insomnia severity in adults with much more than the average population sensory sensitivity. In addition, those with self-reported anxiety may have increased benefit from this intervention.
研究目的本研究旨在确定使用加重毯对感官敏感度高于普通人群的成人中度至重度失眠症的影响。研究方法本研究采用了为期四周、单案例、多参与者的 ABA 研究设计。通过便利抽样，招募了四名失眠严重程度指数（ISI）达到或超过 15 分的参与者，他们被归类为中度至重度失眠者，在青少年/成人感官档案中，他们的感官敏感度远高于大多数人。首先，收集七天的基线睡眠数据，然后使用两周的加权毯，最后是七天的停用阶段。其他结果测量包括收腹和打盹调查、共识睡眠日记早晨和附加睡眠日记问题。数据分析包括视觉分析、平均值比较、Tau-计算以及使用前与使用后的ISI类别比较。结果。干预后，所有参与者的 ISI 评分都降低了一个等级。根据基线和干预阶段的个人平均值比较，所有参与者的睡眠质量都有所提高，三名参与者的睡眠时间也有所延长。结论对于感官敏感度远高于普通人群的成年人来说，配重毯似乎有利于减轻失眠的严重程度。此外，那些自述有焦虑症的人可能会从这种干预中获得更多益处。
