“…It was designed in line with UK national and international guidance on cognitive screening poststroke (Demeyere et al, 2015; Rudd et al, 2017). OCS has been linguistically adapted and validated for many populations including Italian (Mancuso et al, 2016), Cantonese (Kong et al, 2016), Danish (Robotham et al, 2019), Dutch (Huygelier et al, 2019), Putonghua (Hong et al, 2018), Russian (Shendyapina et al, 2019), Brazilian Portuguese (Ramos et al, 2018), European Portuguese (Valério et al, 2022), and Spanish (García-Manzanares et al, 2022). The subtests measure the patients' attention, memory, language, fluency, visuospatial, praxis, executive functions, unilateral neglect, and numerical cognition.…”

Objective:The Oxford Cognitive Screen (OCS) is a screening tool to assess stroke patients for deficits in attention, executive functions, language, praxis, numeric cognition, and memory. In this study, the OCS was culturally and linguistically adapted to Tamil, for use in India (OCS TA), considering the differences between formal and spoken versions of Tamil and consideration of its phonetic complexity. Method:We adopted two-parallel form versions of the OCS and generated normative data for them. We recruited 181 healthy controls (Mean = 39.27 years, SD 16.52) (141 completed version A, 40 completed version B, 33 completed version A and B) and compared the data with the original UK normative sample. In addition, 28 native Tamil-speaking patients who had a stroke in the past three years (Mean = 62.76 years, SD 9.14) were assessed. Convergent validity was assessed with subtasks from Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination III (ACE-III). Results:We found significant differences between the UK normative group and the OCS TA normative group in age and education. Tamil-specific norms were used to adapt the cutoffs for the memory, gesture imitation, and executive function tasks. When domain-specific scores on the ACE-III were compared, OCS TA exhibited strong convergent validity.Conclusions:The OCS TA has shown the potential to be a useful screening tool for stroke survivors among Tamil speakers with the two-parallel forms demonstrating good equivalence. Further empirical evidence from larger studies is required to establish their psychometric performance and clinical validity.

“…Despite this, assessment tools in clinical practice are an area of growing interest among occupational therapy professionals, especially in Spain. In the last few years, a great deal of research has focused on the development and evaluation of the psychometric properties of various tools commonly used in the occupational therapy field, most of which are the result of work carried out in doctoral theses [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

Identification and Use of Assessment Tools in Spanish Occupational Therapists: An Exploratory Study

et al. 2022

The use of standardized assessment tools is essential for the occupational therapy intervention process to ensure clinical practice is appropriate and of high quality. This study aimed to explore which assessment tools Spanish occupational therapists use in their clinical practice. An ad hoc online questionnaire of 19 open and closed questions was used to collect information on assessment tools, socio-demographics, and academic background. The assessment tools were classified according to the main domains of occupational therapy using the last edition of the American Occupational Therapy Association framework. The survey was completed by 73 Spanish occupational therapists, of whom 86.3% were women; the median age was 31 years, and more than 60% treated people suffering from neurological and neurodegenerative disorders or worked in geriatric medicine. Of 147 assessment tools identified, those designed to assess activities of daily living, body functions, process skills, and motor skills were the instruments most frequently used. Specifically, the Barthel Index, Lawton Instrumental ADL Scale, Functional Independence Measure, Sensory Profile 2, and Mini-Examen Cognoscitivo were the tools most employed by Spanish occupational therapists. However, more than one third of the participants used assessment tools without knowing whether they were validated in the Spanish context and/or a specific target population. To our knowledge, this is the first time a study has examined the use and type of assessment tools in Spanish occupational therapists. Our results may constitute a positive step forward for developing strategies for enhancing evidence-based assessment in occupational therapy practice.
