“…The objective of this study was to develop a Spanish version of the 4-category response version of the Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey (EMAS), which is designed to provide a quick and easy method for evaluating the frequency of varied aspects of meaning in day-to-day activities [ 26 ]. Participation in meaningful activities has shown to be crucial for quality of life and mental health both in healthy people [ 17 ] and those enduring progressive illness and loss of performance capacities [ 23 , 32 ], so it is important to have culturally adapted tools such as the EMAS.…”

“…In many cases, the statistical validation process is emphasized over that of cross-cultural adaptation. As well, only a limited number of necessary steps are carried out, such as back and forward translation as reported by Loh et al [ 23 ] in the Malay version of EMAS or in the Polish version [ 22 ]. Although the fundamental value of the validation and analysis of psychometric properties is undeniable, it is also necessary to give weight to translation and cultural adaptation processes in developing a valid assessment tool.…”

“…The EMAS has been translated into a multitude of languages such as French, Polish, Malay, Japanese, Persian, Norwegian, Finish, and Lithuanian using, in general terms, a process of forward translation from English to the intended language by different professionals with a good knowledge of English, a focus group to generate a version in the intended language, and finally a backward translation by at least one expert in English [ 21 – 23 ].…”

Background. Participation in meaningful activities contributes to individual well-being, so it is essential to have specific evaluation tools that can assess this complex construct Objectives. To create a Spanish version (EDIAS) of the Engagement in Meaningful Activities Survey (EMAS) by following best practices in instrument translation. Methodology. The translation was made according to the Principles of Good Practice for the translation and cultural adaptation of patient-reported outcome measures. Results. The adaptation process involved a meticulous analysis of item equivalence by the expert committee and an expert on the EMAS. Also, harmonization with other translated versions and a cognitive debriefing was carried to assess comprehensibility. Conclusion. Following best practice, this study has developed the EDIAS, a tool for evaluating participation in meaningful activities adapted to the Spanish context.

“…We found that all of the items were above the cut-off of 0.62 loading, CR ranged from 0.85 to 1.00, and exceeding the recommended threshold value of 0.65 with AVE. Following the recommendation, 15 those results indicated that the constructs were good and allowed us to proceed to test the research hypothesis, as shown in Table 1. 3 show the results of the path coefficient (β) and the coefficient of determination (R 2 value).…”

Introduction: Many confounding factors such as sex, age, and body mass index (BMI) affect pulmonary function parameters, but there are limited data about the direct and/or indirect effects of small airway function on lung function for differences in confounding factors.Objectives: This study aimed to use structural equation model (SEM) to explain the influence of the confounding factors (age, sex, and BMI) on the relationship between small airway function and lung function in patients with lung cancer. Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted in a single medical center. Subjects were assessed; small airway function was specified by MEF25% and MEF50%; lung function by FVC; pulmonary obstruction by FEV1, FEV1%, and FEV1/FVC; and PEF and PEF% reflected the strength of abdominal muscles. The measurement model was analyzed by confirmatory factor analysis. The SEM was conducted to analyze the structural models of the effects of the confounding factors. Results: In the measurement model, variables were fit to their domains, the path linking age and sex to pulmonary obstruction was positive and statistically significant, and the path linking sex to muscle strength was also positive and statistically significant. Muscle strength positively and significantly mediates the path between sex and FVC. As a moderator, BMI increased the effects of small airway function on FVC. Conclusion:Age and sex were directed to pulmonary obstruction, and muscle strength as a mediator between sex and lung function was novel, and BMI adjusted the effects of small airway function on FVC.

“…Occupational Therapy is an evidence-based science discipline focusing on remediating dysfunctions to enable patients across all ages and medical conditions, to regain their functional independence in daily-living participations [9] [10] [11] [12]. Evidence from occupational therapy's lifestyle intervention in community-dwelling elders is promising, and a growing demand for occupational therapists to help facilitate functional participation of patients [13] has been document in USA. There is a dire need to employ occupational therapists in primary care clinics to address participation issues from demands for new norms, habits and lifestyle adjustments, and the associated mental health issues during the pandemic [14] [15] [16] [17] [18].…”

COVID-19 has disrupted people's occupational daily activities with detrimental impact on their daily living performances and quality of life. Occupational therapy contributes toward restoring health by remediating limitation in participation in meaningful occupation with lifestyle redesign interventions. However, the research gap on the area of "participation-limitation" for the field of Occupational Therapy in cancer survivorship during the COVID-19 is largely untapped and unknown. This commentary-review paper discussed the PEO-OT (person-environment-occupation) grid as a conceptual toolkit for stimulating research in the domain of occupational participation-an essential aspect in the field of occupational therapy, for cancer survivors. It applies the expertise finding from a large Delphi study on research priority in the fields and integrating these into evidenced methodology, to provide a structure to guide the novice researchers towards rapid reviews, by selecting evidencebased methods to ensure contextually-relevant enquiry to identify the "occupational-participation issues"-i.e., an emerging social determinant of health, affecting the daily self-management of cancer survivors with or without comorbidities.
