Assessment of the Visual Status of Older Adults on an Orthopedic Unit / Sheila ROCHE in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 68/4 (juillet - août 2014)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 68/4 (juillet - août 2014) . - p. 465-471 Titre : Assessment of the Visual Status of Older Adults on an Orthopedic Unit Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sheila ROCHE ; et al. ; Mary Warren ; Laura K. Vogtle Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : p. 465-471 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : PURPOSE. To examine the visual status of a cohort of older adults on an orthopedic unit to determine their level of available vision to complete everyday activities in the hospital setting. METHOD. A convenience sample of 50 people was recruited. A visual history was obtained, and participants’ glasses were inspected. Distance acuity, reading acuity, and contrast sensitivity were assessed using standardized screening charts. RESULTS. Of participants, 26% did not have their glasses with them until prompted, and 85% had glasses in poor condition. When tested wearing their habitual correction, 6% had low vision, 2% were blind, 41% had reading acuities worse than 20/25, and 28% had contrast sensitivity deficits. CONCLUSION. Visual impairment is prevalent in older adults, yet visual function is not routinely screened in hospitals. Occupational therapists should routinely inquire about patients’ visual status, inspect their glasses, and encourage regular eye examinations. Failure to address vision could lead to inaccurate evaluation results.

Factors associated with comfort level of occupational therapy practitioners in providing low vision services / Sandra WINNER in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 68/1 (janvier-février 2014)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 68/1 (janvier-février 2014) . - p.96-101 Titre : Factors associated with comfort level of occupational therapy practitioners in providing low vision services Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sandra WINNER ; Hon K.

Vogtle ; Mary Warren Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : p.96-101 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Compétence  Ergothérapie  Attitude  Trouble vision Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We describe the perceived adequacy of educational preparation for and comfort level of occupational therapy practitioners in providing services to clients with low vision and identify factors associated with the practitioners’ comfort level. METHOD. One hundred occupational therapists who were not specialists in low vision rehabilitation completed a survey. RESULTS. Fifty-two percent of the respondents perceived that they had received adequate preparation in occupational therapy school to address low vision. Between 54% and 63% of respondents were comfortable performing visual screening and providing interventions for clients with low vision. Multivariable analyses indicated that having received adequate preparation in occupational therapy school, having a partnership with an eye-care professional, and having provided services to a larger percentage of clients with low vision were significantly associated with perceived comfort in providing services to this population. CONCLUSION. Findings provide an initial direction to improve low vision content in occupational therapy education curricula.

Falls prevention interventions for older adults with low vision: A scoping review / Sarah E. Blaylock in Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, 84(3) (juin 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inCanadian Journal of Occupational Therapy > 84(3) (juin 2017) . - p. 139-147 Titre : Falls prevention interventions for older adults with low vision: A scoping review Titre original : Étude de portée sur les interventions visant à prévenir les chutes chez les aînés ayant une basse vision Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sarah E. Blaylock ; Laura K. Vogtle Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 139-147 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : chutes accidentelles  déficience visuelle  études d'intervention  prévention des accidents  vieillir chez soi Résumé : Background. Older adults with low vision are especially vulnerable to falls. There are no comprehensive reviews of fall prevention interventions for older adults with vision loss who live in the community. Purpose. The aim of this study was to review the evidence regarding community-based falls prevention interventions that appear inclusive of and/or accessible to individuals with low vision. Method. A scoping review was completed using the framework developed by Arksey and O’Malley, and the charted data were analyzed using sums and percentages and qualitative content analysis. Findings. Seventeen publications were selected for this review. The analysis allowed for a thorough description of the types of falls prevention interventions (multiple components, home safety/modification, tai chi, the Alexander Technique, improvement of vision through vision assessment and referral, vision/agility training, and yoga), how each intervention addresses vision impairment, and the relation of results to falls risk. Implications. Falls prevention research targeting individuals with visual impairment is limited, and the intervention approaches available may not be effective for older adults with permanent vision loss.

Lighting as a Compensatory Strategy for Acquired Visual Deficits After Stroke: Two Case Reports. / Matthew Green in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 72/2 (March/April 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 72/2 (March/April 2018) . - pp.1-6 Titre : Lighting as a Compensatory Strategy for Acquired Visual Deficits After Stroke: Two Case Reports. Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Matthew Green, Auteur ; Beth A. Barstow, Auteur ; Laura K. Vogtle, Auteur Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : pp.1-6 Langues : Américain (ame) Mots-clés : Accident vasculaire cérébral  Troubles de la vision  lumière  ergothérapie Résumé : OBJECTIVE. The objective of this article was to explore the effects of enhanced lighting on the function of people with an acquired visual deficit resulting from cerebrovascular accident (CVA) in an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF). METHOD. An ABAB design was used with two cases to assess how a short-term intervention involving lighting changes affected clients' grooming performance in an IRF. Analysis consisted of scores on the grooming section of the FIM®, times for each grooming task, and light meter readings. RESULTS. Both participants demonstrated improvements in function as measured by the FIM and in time to complete grooming tasks with enhanced lighting. CONCLUSION. These results suggest that individualized lighting can lead to improved grooming function in clients with CVA.

Perspectives on home safety / Beth A. Barstow in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 65/6 (novembre-décembre 2011)

We explored the occupational performance and home safety perspectives of older adults with vision loss. Our study focused on the person–environment interaction to ascertain whether participants’ concerns are addressed by three commonly used home safety assessments. METHOD. Twenty-two older adults with vision loss participated in face-to-face interviews regarding their perspectives on home safety. We compared categories generated from a content analysis of the data with the contents of three standardized home safety assessments. RESULTS. Five categories of home safety emerged from the analysis: (1) lighting, (2) contrast, (3) visual distractions, (4) glare, and (5) compensation strategies. Comparisons of content in the three home safety assessments with emerged categories revealed that study participants had specific concerns about home safety that were not thoroughly addressed in the selected assessments. CONCLUSION. The findings provide preliminary content areas that should be included in the development of a home assessment specific to the low vision population.
