“…Although not all the definitions specified that social participation required contact with others, further analyses reveal that all but one definition (Glass & Balfour, 2003) either stressed the dimensions or underlying sub-dimensions of social activities, social roles, social interaction, community or society, or others. This is consistent with previous work on the conceptualization of social participation (Lariviere, 2008;Mars et al, 2008;Raymond, Gagné, Sévigny, & Tourigny, 2008) and conceptual models (Fougeyrollas et al, 1998;Glass & Balfour, 2003). For example, according to the Disability Creation Process model (Fougeyrollas et al, 1998), social participation includes activities and roles which result from the interaction of individual factors (e.g., personal characteristics, organic systems, and capabilities) with the physical and social environment.…”

“…Nevertheless, social participation requires being responsive to environmental situations (Glass & Balfour, 2003). Contrary to concepts such as social network or social support, the focus of social participation is on the person's interaction with the environment, not on the environment itself (Fougeyrollas et al, 1998). According to Herzog and colleagues (2002), the most obvious form of social participation is direct interaction with family members, relatives, friends, neighbors, or coworkers.…”

“…Because of this broader focus, the taxonomy could be applicable to a wider population of adults, who also have various levels of involvement with others in social activities having different goals. Moreover, the taxonomy may also complement human functioning conceptual models (Fougeyrollas et al, 1998;Verbrugge & Jette, 1994;WHO, 2001). Indeed, the taxonomy allows detailing of the interaction of the person with his/her social environment (levels of involvement of the person with others), which is a central component of these models.…”

Social participation is a key determinant of successful and healthy aging and therefore an important emerging intervention goal for health professionals. Despite the interest shown in the concept of social participation over the last decade, there is no agreement on its definition and underlying dimensions. This paper provides an inventory and content analysis of definitions of social participation in older adults. Based on these results, a taxonomy of social activities is proposed. Four databases (Medline, CINAHL, AgeLine and PsycInfo) were searched with relevant keywords (Aging OR Ageing OR Elderly OR Older OR Seniors AND Community involvement/ participation OR Social engagement/involvement/participation) resulting in the identification of 43 definitions. Using content analysis, definitions were deconstructed as a function of who, how, what, where, with whom, when, and why dimensions. Then, using activity analysis, we explored the typical contexts, demands and potential meanings of activities (main dimension). Content analysis showed that social participation definitions (n=43) mostly focused on the person's * Corresponding author.

Abstract-Home-based assessments require in-depth analyses of daily living difficulties. No assessment tool that has been validated with visually impaired adult subjects has allowed such analysis. This research adapted a home-based personenvironment interaction assessment tool designed for persons who are visually impaired. The Model of Competence, an explanatory model of the person-environment relationship, served as the conceptual framework. A qualitative study was conducted with professionals, visually impaired persons, and informal caregivers. Focus groups and semistructured individual interviews were used for data collection. The content and form had to be modified to adapt the assessment tool for use with visually impaired adults. This qualitative study documents the content validity of the Home Assessment of Person-Environment Interaction-Visual Version. The assessment tool will provide vision rehabilitation professionals better screens and explanations of handicap-created situations faced by visually impaired persons at home. By using a structured analysis based on a personenvironment theoretical model, this new assessment tool fills a scientific and clinical gap, optimizes the evaluation process, and documents the intervention plan by providing an understanding of the home context.

“…7 Recent publications on studies including SCL participants have shown that information given on functional ability, activities of daily living, and general health-related quality of life either in questionnaires or interviews generally is very reliable and valid, 8 ± 13 but, still, certain items of information, such as personal relationships and nutrition may show a lower reliability level. 9 Therefore it is important to ®nd out how reproducible and valid a questionnaire is, before it is adopted for routine use.…”

Reproducibility and validity of a questionnaire filled in by spinal cord lesioned individuals before regular follow-up

Objective: To speed up and focus (biennial) check-ups of out-patients with spinal cord lesions by means of a brief mail questionnaire concerning speci®c impairments as well as general life conditions. Method: A trial 69-item questionnaire was ®lled in twice, at home and on arrival for checkup, and, for a third time, by the physician during the consultation. Out of 115 check-ups, 107 and 105 could be included in a reproducibility and validity assessment respectively. Results: Excellent agreement between the ®rst two completions (`reproducibility') and between the markings made at home and those made by the physician (`validity') was obtained for the majority of the items. Those items not performing satisfactorily, not least those relating to defecation, were scrutinised. Conclusion: After revision, the questionnaire can serve the above mentioned purposes in a cost-e ective and clinically satisfying manner. Further bene®ts are envisaged by computerised longitudinal monitoring of the patients' answers. Finally, we have pointed towards weak items/questions in our questionnaire, and we hope this can be of help to others who want to use similar questionnaires in their daily practice.
