Cognitive predictors of life skill intervention outcomes for adults with mental illness at risk for homelessness / Christine A. HELFRICH in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 65/3 (mai-juin 2011)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 65/3 (mai-juin 2011) . - p. 277-286 Titre : Cognitive predictors of life skill intervention outcomes for adults with mental illness at risk for homelessness Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christine A. HELFRICH ; Dara V. CHANG ; Peggy SABOL Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p. 277-286 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Psychopathologie  Développement intellectuel Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We investigated the effectiveness of a life skills intervention for people with mental illness who have been homeless. METHOD. In this longitudinal outcomes study, we used Situated Learning Theory (Lave & Wenger, 1991) to provide group and individual sessions to 38 participants from two housing programs after completing baseline Allen Cognitive Level Screen–2000 (ACLS–2000; Allen Conferences, 2000) and Practical Skills Tests (PSTs). Data were analyzed using linear mixed-effects regression models. RESULTS. The PST scores of participants with higher ACLS–2000 scores significantly increased over time (food management, p 5 .021; money management, p 5 .039; safe community participation, p 5 .02). Participants with lower ACLS–2000 scores demonstrated an even greater change over time. CONCLUSION. Most participants, including those with lower ACLS–2000 scores, improved and retained life skills knowledge over time, challenging the premise that people with mental illness should be excluded from mixed-level group interventions.

Psychometric properties of the practical skills test (PST) / Feng-Hang CHANG in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 67/2 (mars-avril 2013)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 67/2 (mars-avril 2013) . - p. 246-253 Titre : Psychometric properties of the practical skills test (PST) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Feng-Hang CHANG ; Wendy J. Coster ; Christine A. HELFRICH Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p. 246-253 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sans domicile fixe  Test  Compétence  Evaluation Résumé : The Practical Skills Test (PST) is a new assessment of individuals’ knowledge of life skills. We evaluated the PST’s reliability, validity, and sensitivity to change among a homeless population. Participants were 123 homeless persons in a longitudinal experimental study who were assessed before and after intervention with the PST, Allen Cognitive Level Screen–2000 (ACLS–2000), and Impact of Event Scale–Revised (IES–R). The PST showed generally good internal consistency, no floor effects, and limited ceiling effects (<20% on each test). Supportive evidence for the PST’s convergent validity was seen in its moderate correlations with the ACLS–2000; we found no significant correlation with the IES–R. Paired t tests indicated that the PST is sensitive to changes in life skills after intervention, but effect sizes were small. The results suggest that the PST has generally good reliability and validity. However, ceiling effects suggest an area for further development.
