Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects on health-related QOL of occupational therapy involving the adjustment of challenge-skill balance in the activity of elderly clients.


Description:

This study was single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Clients were randomly assigned by blocked randomization (block size 4) to either the experimental group (occupational therapy that included assessment and adjustment of the challenge-skill balance of the activities) or to the control group (occupational therapy as normally conducted at the day care center). Randomization was stratified by sex and EuroQol visual analogue scale, resulting in four layers. The primary outcome was change in health-related quality of life after 10 sessions of occupational therapy. Clients were assessed before the intervention (pre-test) and after the 10th session (post-test). Significant differences were observed in the EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) score and in the Medical Outcome Study 8-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-8) scores for general health, physical functioning , and vitality.

Intervention

Other:
Adjusted the challenge-skill balance
In the first session of occupational therapy, the therapist assessed the client's problems in daily living using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure. Based on the problems identified, an activity that could be supported in day care was selected. In the second session, the client performed the selected activity, and then the challenge and skill levels of the activity were evaluated. Based on these levels, adjustment of the challenge-skill balance in the activity was attempted. Occupational therapy consisted of 10 sessions of 20 minutes held over about 10 weeks
Non-adjusted the challenge-skill balance
The first and second sessions were conducted in the same way as for the experimental group, except that the therapists were not informed of the client's subjective perception of the challenge and skill levels for the activity. From the third session, the therapists simply assessed the client's performance and conducted the therapy in the normal manner for the day care center, following the general guidelines for occupational therapy practice

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change in the EuroQol-5 Dimension questionnaire The EQ-5D defines health in five dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain and discomfort, and anxiety or depression). The EQ-5D also has a visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) that enables self-assessment on a scale from 0 (worst possible health) to 100 (best possible health). Baseline and 10 weeks No
Primary Change in the Medical Outcome Study 8-Item Short-Form Health Survey questionnaire The SF-8 encompasses eight domains: general health, physical functioning, role physical, bodily pain, vitality, social functioning, role emotional, and mental health, which can be combined to yield a physical component summary score and a mental component summary score. Baseline and 10 weeks No
Secondary Change in the Flow State Scale for Occupational Tasks questionnaire Flow State Scale for Occupational Tasks is a scale that can measure a patient's flow state in a clinical situation such as occupational therapy Baseline and 10 weeks No
Secondary Change in the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure questionnaire Canadian Occupational Performance Measure assesses client's self-perception of their occupational performance Baseline and 10 weeks No
