In a society that relies on technology for participation, exploring everyday technology use is a fundamental part of understanding lived experiences of occupation. The meaning and roles individuals with disabilities ascribe to technology may be influenced by sociocultural considerations, such as gender. This interpretive phenomenological study aimed to present an occupational perspective of everyday technology use for men with multiple sclerosis. Method Three middle-aged men (50–57 years old) with multiple sclerosis participated in an individual semi-structured interview. Data were analysed using a hermeneutic approach of close reading. After the initial analysis, superordinate themes were examined relative to an occupational framework. Findings The identified themes were ‘searching online as means and end’ (doing); ‘connecting to others and society’ (belonging); and ‘seeing present and future self’ (being and becoming). Conclusion The meaning of occupational experiences of everyday technology for men with multiple sclerosis are influenced by master narratives of masculinity. Since everyday technology is intertwined with multiple dimensions of occupation, facilitating its use may promote health and quality of life.

Factors That Moderate Activity Limitation and Participation Restriction in People With Multiple Sclerosis / Yael Goverover in American Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 69/2 (Mars/Avril 2015)

Public ISBD [article]  inAmerican Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 69/2 (Mars/Avril 2015) . - p.1-9 Titre : Factors That Moderate Activity Limitation and Participation Restriction in People With Multiple Sclerosis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yael Goverover, Auteur ; Lauren Strober, Auteur ; Nancy Chiaravalloti, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.1-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Sclérose plaque  Emploi  Préparation aliment  Activités vie quotidienneCognition  Cooking  Employment  Mental processes  Multiple sclerosis Résumé : We examined the variables most associated with activity limitation (i.e., cooking) and participation restriction (i.e., employment) in 72 people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Participants underwent a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery assessing memory, executive functions, visual perception, and processing speed and completed questionnaires assessing activity, participation, fatigue, and affective symptoms. Results showed that processing speed was the only variable consistently significantly related to both activity and participation. When examining specific aspects of activity and participation in isolation, employment status was significantly associated with education level, visual memory, fatigue, and processing speed. Cooking ability was associated with performance on tasks of working memory, verbal memory, and processing speed. These findings suggest that processing speed is a primary cognitive factor in MS influencing quality of both activity and participation in everyday life.
