Occupation-Based Strategy Training for Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Pilot Study

Removal notice

“…One of the difficulties with using the COPM in neurological rehabilitation is the presence of aphasia (Chan and Lee, 1997;Chen et al, 2002;Dawson et al, 2013;Gilbertson and Langhorne, 2000;Parker and Sykes, 2006;Taylor et al, 2012;Wressle et al, 2002). To date, when communication difficulties are present, the COPM can be completed using a relative or carer instead of the person with aphasia.…”

“…The COPM has been used to measure the effectiveness of rehabilitation in neurological populations (Dawson et al, 2013;Nilsen et al, 2012;Page et al, 2013;Polatajko et al, 2012;Roberts et al, 2008;Taylor et al, 2012). One of the difficulties with using the COPM in neurological rehabilitation is the presence of aphasia (Chan and Lee, 1997;Chen et al, 2002;Dawson et al, 2013;Gilbertson and Langhorne, 2000;Parker and Sykes, 2006;Taylor et al, 2012;Wressle et al, 2002).…”

“…Additionally, an instructional method known as "guided discovery" was adopted. Guided discovery is a means of providing instruction and feedback using questions, hints, and coaching rather than explicit direction 25 ; it has been used successfully in the co-op approach (see, for example, McEwen et al 15 and Dawson et al 18 ). Guided discovery enhances the active engagement by the learner, thereby potentially increasing self-efficacy.…”

“…Global cognitive strategies, also called metacognitive or general strategies, provide structured frameworks for action planning and decision-making, have a self-monitoring component, and can be used in almost any situation in which problem-solving is required 13 . Specifically, we selected a global cognitive strategy used in the co-op approach ("cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance") 14 , which has been successful in improving skill performance in several rehabilitation populations [15][16][17][18] . The strategy Goal-Plan-Do-Check 19 involves defining a goal (a collaborative process between therapist and client to develop a plan), following the plan, and then checking to see if the plan worked.…”
