Special issue: Low vision rehabilitation / Beth A. Barstow in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019)  

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019) . - p. 455-456 Titre : Special issue: Low vision rehabilitation Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Beth A. Barstow Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 455-456 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022619858940 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2014), there are an estimated 246 million individuals throughout the world living with low vision. This rate is expected to grow over the next few decades, primarily due to our aging global population (WHO, 2014). Because occupational therapists must be prepared to address the occupational participation needs of those with low vision, this special issue of the British Journal of Occupational Therapy is timely. I am pleased to be able to create an issue of diverse topics addressing visual impairment from a broad international perspective including Canada, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States (USA). We hope you will enjoy reading this special issue reflecting the scope of occupational therapy in low vision rehabilitation.

Occupational performance in the basic and instrumental daily activities of persons with low vision who received rehabilitation services / Josee Duquette in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019) . - p. 457-465 Titre : Occupational performance in the basic and instrumental daily activities of persons with low vision who received rehabilitation services Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Josee Duquette ; Jocelyn Loiselle ; Claire Fréchette ; Lise Déry ; Marie-Josée Senécal Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 457-465 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618808734 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Low vision  rehabilitation  occupational performance  activities of daily living  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction The objective was to describe the occupational performance in basic and instrumental daily activities of persons living in the community who have received comprehensive interdisciplinary low vision rehabilitation services. Method The Mesure de l'impact de la déficience visuelle dans les activités quotidiennes (a measure of the impact of visual impairment in daily activities) was administered at home to 102 individuals who participated in a comprehensive low vision rehabilitation program. Performance in 16 near-vision activities was measured with the person's aids and strategies; nine more global tasks were questionnaire-based. Handicap scores were obtained by multiplying performance × importance ratings. Results Average performance was satisfactory or very satisfactory for 21/25 items, even if 92% of the participants had a moderate or severe visual impairment. A severe or total handicap was present in at least one activity for 79% of the subjects. The most handicapping activities required visual searches of finely printed information on a complex or visually crowded document, or shopping and mobility. Conclusion People with low vision who took part in a comprehensive rehabilitation program generally face no or slight handicap situations in their basic and instrumental daily activities. However, major handicap situations may remain in some important activities.

Low vision rehabilitation services: Perceived barriers and facilitators to access for older adults with visual impairment / Jennifer Kaldenberg in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019) . - p. 466-474 Titre : Low vision rehabilitation services: Perceived barriers and facilitators to access for older adults with visual impairment Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jennifer Kaldenberg Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 466-474 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618821591 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Health services accessibility  low vision  rehabilitation  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction The aim of this study is to describe the barriers and facilitators to accessing low vision rehabilitation services in Massachusetts, USA, and determine differences between communities with and without existing low vision rehabilitation services for older adults with visual impairment. Method A sample of older adults with visual impairment (n = 64) from both communities participated in the study. Barriers and facilitators to accessing the services were explored through focus groups and prioritized during one-on-one interviews, which allowed for comparison between communities. Results Twelve themes were identified: (a) bureaucracy and funding (public policy); (b) public awareness and stigma (community); (c) services available, knowledge of providers, care coordination, transportation (organizational); (d) people and lack of awareness of family/friends (interpersonal); and (e) income, health status, knowledge, self-advocacy, and time (individual). Conclusion This study provides insights into the perceived barriers and facilitators of accessing low vision rehabilitation services for older adults with vision impairment living in Massachusetts, USA. Key findings indicate the need for improved awareness of these services at the provider and consumer level, coordinated care, increased education on the efficacy of occupational therapy low vision rehabilitation services, client-centered care provided when the client is ready to accept services, and service provision that addresses sociodemographic factors.

Participation and quality of life for persons with oculomotor impairments after acquired brain injury / Sharon Gowdy Wagener in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019) . - p. 475-484 Titre : Participation and quality of life for persons with oculomotor impairments after acquired brain injury Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Sharon Gowdy Wagener ; Robert Kreiger Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 475-484 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022619827262 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Participation  quality of life  brain injuries  visual perception Résumé : Introduction Acquired brain injury is a major diagnostic group treated by occupational therapists. This study explored participation in everyday activities and social roles, and quality of life for persons with acquired brain injury-related oculomotor impairments. Method Using a cross-sectional descriptive approach, 40 rehabilitation outpatients with acquired brain injury-related oculomotor impairments underwent semi-structured interviews using self-report measures of visual symptoms (ABI Vision Questionnaire), quality of life (PROMIS Global Health Scale), and participation (Assessment of Life Habits). Descriptive, correlational, and simple regression statistics were used for analysis. Results Visual symptoms were significant for 96.7% of the participants. Physical and mental quality of life scores were one standard deviation below population norms. Participation areas identified as very difficult or harder for 82% or more included recreation, education, work, home maintenance, and volunteering. Approximately 68% or more identified communicating in a group, reading, computer use, and driving as very difficult. Correlations between scores of visual symptoms and participation, and visual symptoms and physical quality of life, showed significant moderate negative relationships. Regression analyses indicated visual symptoms explained about half the measured difficulties in participation. Conclusion Awareness of the activities and roles that are likely to be disrupted by acquired brain injury-related oculomotor impairments enables occupational therapists to direct therapy where it matters most. Findings highlight the identified symptoms and participation areas.

The lived experiences of adults with a visual impairment who experience fatigue when performing daily activities / Kim Bakker in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019) . - p. 485-492 Titre : The lived experiences of adults with a visual impairment who experience fatigue when performing daily activities Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kim Bakker ; Esther Steultjens ; Lee Price Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 485-492 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022619841491 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Fatigue  visual impairment  daily activities  occupational balance  interpretative phenomenological analysis  adaptation, occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction Little is known about fatigue experienced by adults with a visual impairment and the impact this can have on their daily activities. This study explored the lived experiences of adults with a visual impairment who experience fatigue when performing daily activities. The aim was to enhance occupational therapists’ knowledge and understanding of the phenomenon and to suggest future interventions for clients who have a visual impairment and fatigue. Method An interpretative phenomenological analysis was performed. Five adults with a visual impairment who experienced fatigue were recruited via purposive sampling. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, which were audiotaped and transcribed for analysis. Findings: Three superordinate themes emerged: causes, expressions and perceptions of fatigue; fatigue in daily life; and managing activities of daily living. The findings suggest that although fatigue challenges the performance of activities and roles, and thus occupational balance, the participants applied strategies to manage and adapt to fatigue, limiting its consequences. Conclusion The findings have implications for occupational therapists’ adoption of person-centred interventions. We can learn from the participants’ experiences to explore the individual needs of future clients to facilitate person-centred strategies that match the individual and their experience of fatigue, and to promote balance in performance of their daily activities.

The environmental factors that influence technology adoption for older adults with age-related vision loss / Colleen McGrath in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019) . - p. 493-501 Titre : The environmental factors that influence technology adoption for older adults with age-related vision loss Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Colleen McGrath ; Ann Marie Corrado Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 493-501 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618813247 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Older adults  vision loss  low-vision assistive devices  environmental influences  technology adoption  qualitative research  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction With the increasing proportion of older adults aging with vision loss, low-vision assistive devices can help to support occupational engagement; however, such devices are grossly underused among this population. The overarching purpose of this project was to examine the environmental factors that influence technology adoption for older adults with age-related vision loss. Methods A one-day workshop, which utilized a variety of hands-on methods including Show & Tell, Technology Interaction, and an “App” Assessment activity, was conducted. A total of 19 participants attended the workshop, including 10 older adults with age-related vision loss, six caregivers, one healthcare provider, and two technology industry professionals. Results A total of four themes emerged, including: (1) making life harder; (2) relying on support networks; (3) factoring in the pragmatics; and (4) not me, not yet. These themes illustrate the various ways that environmental factors, including physical, social, cultural, and institutional/political factors, influence decision-making regarding technology adoption by older adults with age-related vision loss. Conclusion This paper demonstrates several environmental factors that influence low-vision assistive device adoption among older adults with age-related vision loss. With their holistic view of clients, including an appreciation for environmental influences, occupational therapists are well positioned to help identify those environmental barriers limiting low-vision assistive device adoption and use.

Scanning training for rehabilitation of visual field loss due to stroke: Identifying and exploring training tools in use / Christine Hazelton in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 8 (Août 2019) . - p. 502-511 Titre : Scanning training for rehabilitation of visual field loss due to stroke: Identifying and exploring training tools in use Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Christine Hazelton ; Alex Pollock ; Glyn Walsh ; Marian Brady Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 502-511 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618809900 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Stroke  visual field loss  homonymous hemianopia  rehabilitation  compensation  scanning training  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction Visual field loss affects one fifth of stroke survivors, limiting daily activities and reducing quality of life. Scanning training is a commonly used intervention, but there is variation in how this is delivered. This study aimed to identify the scanning training tools used in Scotland and describe their training parameters, delivery and suitability for use with stroke survivors. Method An email survey identified scanning training tools used in Scotland. Two expert panel meetings gained consensus on the motor, language and cognitive skills required to use each scanning training tool. Video capture techniques gathered objective measures of training parameters. Results Ten scanning training tools were identified. These tools used four delivery methods: paper-based, computer software, web-based and specialised equipment. They aimed to improve reading, perception or general visual skills. Fast, saccadic eye movements were most frequently targeted: two interventions also encouraged head movements. Session duration, frequency and therapist support varied considerably. The level of motor, language and cognitive skills required for each tool was determined. Conclusion Scanning training tools used in Scotland vary in delivery modality, functional abilities required for use and visual skills trained. This information will support clinical decision-making and inform future research on training effectiveness and feasibility.

This study investigated what self-regulation strategies older adults with visual impairment employed to ensure effective mobility scooter use. Method This interpretive description study used multiple methods, including participant observation and semi-structured interviews. Among the 15 participants, a variety of visual impairments was represented. Results Participants described the various reasons for getting a scooter. They also detailed risks and barriers that warranted self-regulation strategies including the environment, the visual impairment and the attitudinal approaches. Conclusion Barriers to community participation are common for people with visual impairment. This study adds detailed accounts of strategies for the competent management of such barriers using self-regulation practices. These practices can be applied in the community to maintain/improve infrastructure accessibility, address public understanding of scooter use and educate individuals with visual impairment of strategies to improve their scooter use.

Critical reflection on practice When using a long cane with this newly designed grip, the upper limb manipulating the cane showed less muscle activity than when using the conventional grip part. Implications for practice Since long canes with the new grips require less muscle activity in their operation, they are popular, making it possible to encourage their use from the lower grade of elementary school.
