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.

Client and Therapist Perspectives on the Influence of Low Vision and Chronic Conditions on Performance and Occupational Therapy Intervention / Beth A. Barstow in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 69/3 (mai -juin 2015)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 69/3 (mai -juin 2015) . - p.10 Titre : Client and Therapist Perspectives on the Influence of Low Vision and Chronic Conditions on Performance and Occupational Therapy Intervention Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Beth A. Barstow ; Mary Warren ; Swetal THAKER ; et al. Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.10 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Cécité  Maladie chronique  Maladie associée  Handicap visuel  Personne âgée  ErgothérapeuteChronic disease  Comorbidity  Human activities and occupations  Occupational therapy  Vision/low Résumé : OBJECTIVE. We explored how vision loss and comorbid chronic conditions influence occupational therapy intervention by gathering perspectives from occupational therapists treating clients with low vision and from older adults with low vision. METHOD. We surveyed 59 occupational therapists on the frequency of comorbidities in their clients and their influence on low vision intervention. Eight older adults with low vision participated in in-depth interviews and observations on the influence of low vision and comorbidities on their occupational performance. Conclusions reflect data analysis from both methods. RESULTS. The occupational therapists modified low vision interventions to address the added effect of each comorbidity. Modifications included more treatment sessions, home visits, referrals to other professions, and provision of strategies to address comorbidities. The older adults viewed vision loss as a stronger influence than comorbidities on independence in daily occupations. CONCLUSION. Both vision loss and comorbidities influence occupational performance, supporting the need for interventions to address both conditions.

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. Yuen ; Laura 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.

Preliminary Validation of a Vision-Dependent Activities of Daily Living Instrument on Adults With Homonymous Hemianopia / Tonya A. MENNEM in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 66/4 (juillet-aout 2012)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 66/4 (juillet-aout 2012) . - p. 478-482 Titre : Preliminary Validation of a Vision-Dependent Activities of Daily Living Instrument on Adults With Homonymous Hemianopia Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tonya A. MENNEM ; Mary Warren ; Hon K. Yuen Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p. 478-482 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Autoévaluation  Handicap visuel Résumé : OBJECTIVE. This study sought to validate the use of the Self-Report Assessment of Functional Visual Performance (SRAFVP) as a measure of the severity of activity of daily living (ADL) limitations in people with homonymous hemianopia (HH). METHOD. Thirty adults with HH from stroke rated their level of difficulty in completing the SRAFVP. RESULTS. The Cronbach’s αs of the SRAFVP and its three subscales (Reading, Eye–Hand Coordination, and Functional Mobility) ranged from .73 to .99. All three subscales were significantly correlated with each other and with the total SRAFVP score. Paired t tests revealed that Functional Mobility was significantly less difficult for participants to complete than Reading or Eye–Hand Coordination. Participants with complete HH reported greater difficulty in completing the Reading tasks than those with macular sparing. CONCLUSION. The SRAFVP demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity in evaluating the severity of ADL impairment in people with HH.
