“…was significantly higher at post-treatment assessment for those who received the intervention compared with those in the control group. These results provide further support to previous findings that highlight the beneficial effects of implementing tailored social activities to cognitively impaired older adults (Gitlin et al, 2009;Kolanowski et al, 2011;Van Haitsma et al, 2013).…”

The study examined the effect of an individualized social activities intervention (ISAI) on quality of life among older adults with mild to moderate cognitive impairment in a geriatric psychiatry facility. This randomized control trial consisted of 52 older adults (65 years of age or older). A 2 (group condition) x 2 (time of measurement) design was used to compare the control (treatment-as-usual) and intervention (treatment-as-usual

Effectiveness of an Occupation-Based Home-Visit Program for Clients with Dementia and Caregivers: A Pilot Study

Several studies have been implemented on home-visit occupational therapy based on activities or occupations for clients with dementia and their caregivers, but all have been conducted abroad; none have taken place in Japan. Therefore, we performed a pilot study of the effectiveness of an occupation-based home-visit program for clients with dementia and their caregivers using single cohort design. The results of our analysis of participants' (n = 9) data indicated that the home-visit program could improve the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, particularly apathy, among clients with dementia, as well as caregivers' needs or what caregivers expected of clients. Additionally, the program tended to decrease caregivers' care burden. The implications of the study are discussed in light of further research on this program.

“…Occupational therapy researchers using an epidemiological perspective would ask the question, "What is the difference in dressing skill outcomes if the practitioner (occupational therapist vs. occupational therapy assistant) provides 30-min sessions daily versus 3 times per week?" As an example, optimal occupational therapy services for patients and families living with dementia have been quantified; moreover, mechanisms for training occupational therapists to deliver optimal care using these standard methods have ensured success in translating this treatment to clinicians (Gitlin et al, 2009). …”

KEY WORDSactivities of daily living disability evaluation epidemiologic methods epidemiologic research design professional competenceNearly 50 million Americans report some level of disability in activities of daily living or instrumental activities of daily living. Public health officials advocate for a fresh perspective on disability by considering disability through an epidemiological approach. Should occupational therapists perform this research, and what are the benefits for our profession if we do? This article advocates for enhancing our research knowledge base by including an epidemiological perspective in our research design. The benefits to occupational therapy of this research include (1) increased understanding of the extent and nature of occupational performance disability, (2) advancement of the scope and depth of research for prevention and intervention programs, and (3) improved visibility of the profession as informants for public health policy. Suggestions for preparing researchers to perform these studies and students and practitioners to interpret the studies are provided. Ciro, C. (2011). The Issue Is-Enhancing our collective research acumen by using an epidemiological perspective.
