“…Several studies in different settings indicate that the COPM is a reliable [16][17][18], valid [19][20][21], clinically useful and responsive outcome measure for evaluation of interventions [22][23][24][25][26][27]. The COPM is considered to have satisfactory external validity and responsiveness to change in patients with chronic low-back pain [28].…”

Aim:The aim was to describe the effect of a multidisciplinary pain management program, in terms of patientreported occupational performance and satisfaction with performance. Methods:The study is a retrospective, case series study. Data from interviews documented routinely in patient medical records were used. Interviews were made at introduction, on conclusion and six months after a pain management program. Data from all participants (n=85) introduced during one year, were analysed. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used as the main outcome measure.Results: Estimated occupational performance as well as satisfaction with performance improved between measures (occupational performance p<0.001; satisfaction with performance p<0.001). The percentage of participants, who improved two or more points on the COPM ten-point scale between baseline and the 6-month follow up, was 27% for occupational performance and 40% for satisfaction with performance. Conclusion:The findings raise questions regarding what the team might learn from different ways of scrutinizing results; the relevant level of MID in this program; and the overall objective in terms of the proportion of clients who reported a 'successful' outcome in occupational performance and satisfaction with performance, based on the identified MID. These questions need to be further analysed and discussed within the professional team.

“…Walker et al (2008) found that parents' low QOL was significantly correlated with their children's absence from work and school, activity limitations, inadequate sleep, frequent nighttime awakenings, and poor psychological health (8). Empirical evidence shows that giving care to the children who suffer from chronic illnesses takes too much time and energy from the parents and hence, parents are compelled to allocate inadequate time to themselves and consequently suffer from poor QOL (9). One of the factors contributing to children's QOL is their parents' health status which in turn is affected by the workload of care giving.…”

The Effect of Family-Centered Empowerment Model on Quality of Life Among Mothers of Asthmatic Children

et al. 2016

Background: Asthma causes different physical, emotional, and social limitations for the afflicted children and their families and reduces their quality of life. Therefore, the quality of life in families, particularly in mothers, needs to be enhanced through strategies such as empowerment. Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the Family-Centered Empowerment Model on quality of life among the mothers of asthmatic children. Methods: A convenience sample of 172 mothers was recruited for this quasi-experimental study. Mothers were alternately allocated either to a control group or an experimental group based on the day in which they referred to the study setting. Accordingly, mothers who referred to the setting in odd and even days of a weak were allocated respectively to the control and experimental groups. A demographic questionnaire and the pediatric asthma caregiver's quality of life questionnaire (PACQLQ) were used for data collection. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by a panel of experts (relevance: 0.98; clarity: 0.96; and simplicity: 0.94) while its reliability was confirmed by a Cronbach's alpha of 0.88. A four-step empowerment program was implemented for the mothers in the experimental group based on the Family-Centered Empowerment Model. The four steps included knowledge improvement, self-efficacy, self-esteem, and evaluation. Mothers in the control group received no intervention during the study. Before and after the intervention, the mothers in both groups were asked to complete the study questionnaires. The data were described and analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: There were no significant between-group differences regarding the mothers' demographic characteristics and their baseline quality of life scores. However, after the intervention, the scores of quality of life and its physical limitation and emotional function domains were significantly lower in the experimental group, denoting higher quality of life (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The Family-Centered Empowerment Model significantly improves quality of life among the mothers of children who suffer from asthma. Given the important role of mothers in giving care to their ill children, nurses are recommended to use the model to encourage mothers' active participation in care giving to their children.

“…Practice in relation to the validated COPM does not include a reassessment of importance [15,[22][23][24][25]. However, the importance of an occupational problem was reassessed in the course of each and every KickStart COPM interview as a non-validated supplement to the assessment (Figure 3).…”

Outcomes from a developmental instructional training course for youths with congenital physical disability have been investigated for the purpose of clarifying whether or not the participants' personal competencies in terms of living an independent life were developed and whether or not these competencies were maintained after termination of the project. In the course of the intervention, there was focus on user involvement and each participant defined his own occupational performance problems, articulated specific goals for the intervention and evaluated the results by means of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Eight young adults participated in the course from 16-26 months with a follow-up evaluation 10-20 months later. Changes in COPM scores on performance and satisfaction indicate that the participants developed personal competencies and that it was possible to maintain some of these competencies after completion of the course.
