A randomized clinical trial to determine effectiveness of driving simulator retraining on the driving performance of clients with neurological impairment / Barbara Mazer in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Volume 78 numéro 6 (Juin 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 78 numéro 6 (Juin 2015) Titre : A randomized clinical trial to determine effectiveness of driving simulator retraining on the driving performance of clients with neurological impairment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Barbara Mazer, Auteur ; Isabelle Gélinas, Auteur ; Josee Duquette, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Driving  Simulator  Neurological impairment Résumé : Introduction: Following a neurological event, returning to driving is an important activity contributing to improved participation within the community. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of driving simulator retraining on driving in clients with neurological impairment and to examine factors associated with treatment effectiveness. Method: Individuals with non-degenerative brain injury were randomized to either a simulator training or control group. The simulator group received individualized training (16 sessions) using a driving simulator. The control group did not receive intervention. A blind evaluator assessed participants on the DriveAble On-Road Driving Evaluation. Results: There was no significant difference between groups in the proportion of individuals who passed the driving evaluation (Chi2 = 0.65; p = 0.42; CI = −0.41 to +0.17). However, participants with moderate impairment who received simulator training were more likely to pass the driving test compared with those in the control group (86% versus 17%; Chi2 = 6.2; p = 0.03; CI = −1.00 to −0.30). There were no differences in pass rate according to diagnosis, gender, or for those with severe impairments. Conclusion: Results provide clinicians with preliminary information on the potential clinical usefulness of driving simulator training. While the findings do not support simulator retraining for the group as a whole, they suggest that clients with moderate impairment have the potential to benefit.

Reliability and validity of the multiple mini interview (MMI) for admissions to an occupational therapy professional program / Aliki Thomas in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 9 (September 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 9 (September 2017) . - p. 558-567 Titre : Reliability and validity of the multiple mini interview (MMI) for admissions to an occupational therapy professional program Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Aliki Thomas ; Meredith Young ; Barbara Mazer ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 558-567 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  reproductibilité des résultats  profession Résumé : Introduction Admissions decisions are among the most consequential assessment points in educating occupational therapists. Suboptimal measures of academic achievement and personal characteristics are often used to select candidates. The purpose of the study is to investigate reliability and validity evidence supporting the use of the multiple mini interview for selecting candidates to an occupational therapy master’s level program. Method The study used a prospective cohort design. Data sources included both archival data and prospective candidate-generated data (multiple mini interview scores, applicant file review scores and academic performance), analyzed using psychometric and correlational approaches. Results Seventy-seven of 80 candidates participated in the prospective component of the study. Overall reliability of a 10-station multiple mini interview was .72. Inter-rater reliability was reasonable. Weak interrelationships were found between multiple mini interview scores and other application components. Conclusion Multiple mini interview scores may be probing different attributes than the other components of the application package. Our study findings support the use of the multiple mini interview for selecting applicants to a professional master’s program in occupational therapy; however, future work should continue to investigate the predictive validity of the multiple mini interview.

Validating the Use of the Evaluation Tool of Children's Handwriting-Manuscript to Identify Handwriting Difficulties and Detect Change in School-Age Children / Marie BROSSARD-RACINE 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.414-421 Titre : Validating the Use of the Evaluation Tool of Children's Handwriting-Manuscript to Identify Handwriting Difficulties and Detect Change in School-Age Children Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Marie BROSSARD-RACINE ; Barbara Mazer ; Annette MAJNEMER ; Marilyse JULIEN Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.414-421 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Trouble écriture  Enfant Résumé : In this study we sought to validate the discriminant ability of the Evaluation Tool of Children's Handwriting-Manuscript in identifying children in Grades 2-3 with handwriting difficulties and to determine the percentage of change in handwriting scores that is consistently detected by occupational therapists. Thirty-four therapists judged and compared 35 pairs of handwriting samples. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to determine (1) the optimal cutoff values for word and letter legibility scores that identify children with handwriting difficulties who should be seen in rehabilitation and (2) the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in handwriting scores. Cutoff scores of 75.0% for total word legibility and 76.0% for total letter legibility were found to provide excellent levels of accuracy. A difference of 10.0%-12.5% for total word legibility and 6.0%-7.0% for total letter legibility were found as the MCID. Study findings enable therapists to quantitatively support clinical judgment when evaluating handwriting.
