Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate a) the feasibility and b) the potential outcomes of a first version of an occupational therapy intervention program aiming at enhancing the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) among persons living with chronic conditions.

In the study a pre-post test design is applied.


Clinical Trial Description

Introduction

Existing research has revealed that persons with chronic conditions experience decreased ability to perform both Personal ADL (PADL) and Instrumental ADL (IADL) tasks. Persons living with a chronic condition are offered various interventions. Besides medical treatment provided by physicians, to prevent or treat symptoms, persons with chronic diseases are often offered physical exercise in order to improve physical and/or mental body functions. Such interventions are founded on a belief that enhanced physical and mental body functioning also will result in improved ability to perform ADL tasks. However, existing research indicate that improvements in body functions not necessarily translate into improved ADL ability.

Research investigating the outcomes of rehabilitation services designed to enhance occupational performance, including ADL task performance, is sparse and insufficient. Existing research within this area is characterized by diversity and methodological limitations preventing development of clear intervention guidelines for clinical practice. Therefore, an occupational therapy program directly aiming at enhancing the ADL ability in persons with chronic conditions.

Aim

The purpose of this study is to evaluate a) the feasibility and b) the potential outcomes of a first version of an occupational therapy intervention program aiming at enhancing the ability to perform activities of daily living (ADL) among persons living with chronic conditions.

Methods

In the study a pre-test - post-test design is applied. That is, 30 participants living with chronic conditions are assigned to an eight week occupational therapy intervention program.

Outcome measures are self-reported and observed ADL ability measured using the ADL-Interview (ADL-I) and the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS). Furthermore, various registrations (made by occupational therapists and participants) related to the feasibility of the intervention will be collected and analyzed. ;
