Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Vocational Fit Assessment (VFA) / Andrew C. PERSCH in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 69/6 (novembre/décembre 2015)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 69/6 (novembre/décembre 2015) Titre : Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Vocational Fit Assessment (VFA) Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrew C. PERSCH ; P. Christian GUGUI ; James A. ONATE ; et al. Année de publication : 2015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Psychométrie  Bilan compétence Résumé : OBJECTIVE. The objective of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the Vocational Fit Assessment (VFA) by examining its factor structure and subscale reliability. METHOD. This prospective cross-sectional study used two surveys (one for worker abilities and one for job demands) to collect the data needed for the psychometric evaluation of the VFA. Latent parallel analysis and ordinal exploratory factor analysis were used to iteratively refine VFA subscales. RESULTS. Ten unidimensional subscales emerged from factor analysis of VFA items: (1) Cognitive Abilities, (2) Communication Skills, (3) Computer Skills, (4) Higher Task-Related Abilities, (5) Interpersonal Skills, (6) Lower Task-Related Abilities, (7) Physical Abilities, (8) Safety, (9) Self-Determination, and (10) Work Structure. Subscale internal consistency (ordinal α) was ≥.86 for VFA for worker abilities and ≥.77 for VFA for job demands. CONCLUSION. The unidimensional structure of VFA subscales and estimates of internal consistency lend initial evidence in support of their reliability and validity.

Jane Case-Smith / Andrew C. PERSCH in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 68/6 (novembre/décembre 2014)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 68/6 (novembre/décembre 2014) . - p. 649-652 Titre : Jane Case-Smith : Servant–Leader and Scholar Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrew C. PERSCH ; Dennis S. CLEARY ; Kelly TANNER ; et al. Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : p. 649-652 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Ergothérapeute  Métier Résumé : Few scholars have contributed to the profession of occupational therapy in as many ways and across as many levels as Jane Case-Smith. A master clinician at her roots, Jane personally treated thousands of children with disabilities or special health care needs over the course of her career. In reflecting on the breadth of her experience, she once commented, “I’m proud to say I worked with children for 30 years! I continue to work with children now, and it’s really just a great pleasure for me” (D. Cleary, personal communication, 2009). Jane shared this passion with her students, peers, and other therapists through her teaching, scholarship, and service. In this way, the effects of Jane’s professional efforts are, and will continue to be, multiplied many times over.

Protocol development, treatment fidelity, adherence to treatment, and quality control / Andrew C. PERSCH 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. 146-153 Titre : Protocol development, treatment fidelity, adherence to treatment, and quality control Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Andrew C.

PAGE Année de publication : 2013 Article en page(s) : p. 146-153 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Protocole thérapeutique  Recherche médicale  Qualité  Observance thérapeutique Résumé : Occupational therapy leaders have emphasized the importance of intervention effectiveness research. The CONSORT and TREND checklists have been suggested as useful tools for reporting the results of randomized and nonrandomized studies, respectively. Despite such recommendations, research protocols and reports continue to underutilize the available tools, a situation reflecting limited resources for and experience with the conduct of effectiveness research. To address this issue, and using the CONSORT statement to structure the analysis, this article discusses strategies for optimization of protocol development, treatment fidelity, adherence to treatment, and quality control. We recommend several approaches to increase the quality of research throughout these various processes. Examples of implementation from our laboratory provide evidence of the utility of these strategies.
