“…If assessment tools to quantify patient performance are available, most of them are only available in English, which requires the therapist to translate and explain the procedures to the clients in the simplest way. Although in the past years Arab, and in particular Jordanian, researchers worked on translating assessment tools into Arabic [30][31][32], their work is still limited to using available Western-based assessment tools rather than producing tools that address culturally specific occupations such as prayer or collectivist occupations.…”

Background. Occupational therapy’s origins draw from Western culture, values, and beliefs which may impact the application of traditional occupational therapy practice in non-Western cultures. Purpose. This study explored how occupational therapists in Jordan facilitate occupational therapy practice within Islamic Eastern culture. Method. A phenomenological approach was used in this study. Semistructured interviews were conducted with eleven occupational therapists that work in Jordan and have at least two years of experience. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis methods. Results. Three central themes emerged: impact of Jordanian culture and Islamic beliefs about independence and disability on occupational therapy practice, the therapists’ notions of ideal occupational therapy practice vs. daily reality, and challenges posed by workspace and the availability of equipment. Conclusion. This study highlights the growing need to translate and expand the core values of occupational therapy to align with cultures in non-Western countries and cultures.

“…The focus of all measures was primarily on the activity of daily living at home and/or school. The dimensions of measurement were participation [ 21 , 22 ], functional abilities [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ], duration and frequency of physical activity [ 27 , 28 , 29 ], and self-perception of physical activity [ 30 ]. Table 1 provides a description of the PROMs included in the review.…”

“…The Arabic version of PACS has been studied for its measurement properties in 151 typically developing children (aged 3–6 years) in Jordan [ 22 ]. Internal consistency and test re-test reliability were sufficient given the values of Cronbach’s alpha and ICC, which were 0.859, and 0.976, respectively.…”

Aim: To systematically review measurement properties of Arabic patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) that assess activity and participation in children with and without health conditions. Method: Four databases were searched. Arabic PROMs with focus on activity and/or participation constructs were selected. Data on measurement properties were extracted and the methodological quality of the studies was assessed by COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) risk of bias checklist. Result: Of the total 149 articles screened, only 10 studies involving 10 measures that assessed activity and/or participation in children with or without health conditions were included. The focus of all PROMs is primarily on the activity of daily living at home and/or school, but dimensions of measurement differed across PROMs. None of the PROMs demonstrated sufficient properties for all psychometrics. The most studied psychometric property was internal consistency, whereas the least studied psychometric property was structural validity. Responsiveness was not investigated in any of the studies included. Conclusions: Despite the presence of Arabic PROMs on activity and participation for children, none of the reviewed measures satisfied all psychometric properties. Clinicians and researchers are encouraged to carefully select PROMs that are psychometrically sound and appropriate for the construct being measured.

“…The APACS uses the same procedure of assessment employed in the original PACS, including measuring participation, nature of participation, and perceived barriers. The psychometric properties of the APACS, including construct validity, concurrent validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability were established (Malkawi et al, 2017).…”

Introduction: Understanding participation patterns of young children with cerebral palsy (CP) will enable occupational therapists to tailor family-and child-centred services. This study compares participation patterns and participation barriers of young children with CP with those of typically developing (TD) children. In addition, effect of age and gender on participation were examined as well as child-related determinants of participation for young children with CP. Methods: Participants were a convenience sample of 110 young children with CP and 150 TD children, aged 36-72 months. Children with CP represented different levels of the Gross Motor Function Classification System-Expanded and Revised (GMFCS-E&R), the Manual Ability Classification System (MACS), and the Communication Function Classification System (CFCS). The Arabic Preschool Activity Card Sort was used to measure participation level as well as barriers of participation. T-tests, ANOVA, and exploratory regressions were employed. Significance was set at p < .05. Results: Young children with CP showed significant decreased overall and domainspecific participation compared to TD children (p < .001). Perceived barriers of participation were mostly related to child-factors for young children with CP compared to greater variability in barriers in TD children. Gender had no significant effect on participation regardless of diagnosis; however, pattern of the effect of age was different among the two groups. MACS was found to be the only significant predictor of participation for children with CP (p = .001). Conclusion: Occupational therapists should focus on enhancing participation for young children with CP and consider participation barriers when designing their interventions. Several factors need to be considered when aiming to enhance participation of children with CP. The use of the MACS could contribute to better intervention planning.
