Can functional task exercise improve executive function and contribute to functional balance in older adults with mild cognitive impairment? A pilot study / Lawla L.F. Law in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 9 (Septembre 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 9 (Septembre 2018) . - p. 495-502 Titre : Can functional task exercise improve executive function and contribute to functional balance in older adults with mild cognitive impairment? A pilot study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Lawla L.F. Law ; Kenneth N.K. Fong ; Matthew K. Yau Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 495-502 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Mild cognitive impairment  functional task exercise  functional balance Résumé : Introduction Individuals with cognitive impairment are more susceptible to falls associated with decreased executive function and balance. This pilot study investigated whether functional task exercise could improve executive function, which might further affect the functional balance in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Method This was a single-group pre-test/post-test pilot. A total of 43 participants completed a 10-week structured functional task exercise programme, performing simulated functional tasks. Paired-samples t-test was performed to evaluate intervention effects. Associations between variables were examined using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Multiple regression analysis was performed to explore the contribution of cognitive variables to functional balance. Results Significant improvements were shown in general cognitive functions, executive function, functional balance and functional status. All executive function outcomes were significantly associated with functional balance. Everyday problem-solving ability was the only significant cognitive contributor (β = 0.407, p < 0.05) to functional balance after controlling for the confounding factors. Conclusion This pilot showed functional task exercise using simulated functional task as a means of intervention was feasible and was associated with observed improvements in executive function and functional balance in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, whereas everyday problem-solving ability was found to be associated with functional balance. Further well-designed controlled studies are needed to draw more definitive conclusions.

A consensus definition of occupation-based intervention from a Malaysian perspective: A Delphi study / Ahmad Zamir Che Daud in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Volume 78 numéro 11 (Novembre 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 78 numéro 11 (Novembre 2015) . - p.697-705 Titre : A consensus definition of occupation-based intervention from a Malaysian perspective: A Delphi study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ahmad Zamir Che Daud, Auteur ; Matthew K. Yau, Auteur ; Fiona Barnett, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.697-705 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Delphi technique  occupations  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction: Descriptions and definitions for occupation-based intervention vary in the literature. Occupation-based intervention is assumed to be based on occupation and is seen as both a means and an end. Occupation-based intervention also includes all levels of interventions in occupational therapy as long as the goal is occupational performance. Occupation-based intervention can also be described as a therapeutic process that emerges during the therapy session. The purpose of this study was to achieve a consensus definition of occupation-based intervention among Malaysian occupational therapists. Method: A three-round Delphi technique using a sequential questionnaire was conducted. Fifteen occupational therapists and occupational therapy educators completed all rounds. The Delphi process began with open-ended questions, asking the participants some questions about occupation-based intervention. The second and third rounds asked participants to rank their agreement with statements about occupation-based intervention. Results: Occupation-based intervention is seen by therapists to be both a means and an end, with occupational performance as the main outcome. It is believed that using occupation alone is not enough; preparatory and purposeful methods may have to be incorporated to achieve the outcomes. Conclusion: It is important to adopt a common definition of occupation-based intervention in practice and education to signify occupation at the centre of occupational therapy.

The influence of work on the transition to retirement: A qualitative study / Jackie Eagers in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 11 (Novembre 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 11 (Novembre 2018) . - p. 624-632 Titre : The influence of work on the transition to retirement: A qualitative study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jackie Eagers ; Richard C. Franklin ; Kieran Broome ; Matthew K. Yau Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 624-632 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618766244 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Pre-retirement job  active ageing  work  occupational transitions Résumé : Introduction Retirement from work is a complex process, with work influencing this transition. Occupational therapists can facilitate a meaningful occupational transition to retirement for better health and wellbeing in later life. This article explores (1) how work attributes influence and relate to the work-to-retirement transition stages, (2) the relationship of findings to the Model of Human Occupation volitional processes and (3) the potential occupational therapy role. Method Semi-structured interviews were completed with retirees. In this qualitative study, themes were identified in relation to the work-to-retirement transition stages using thematic analysis with findings related to the Model of Human Occupation volitional processes. Findings Eleven Australian participants (five females, six males) were recruited. Themes and sub-themes were identified within each stage of the work-to-retirement transition and collectively encapsulated all volitional processes. Themes were time to move on, taking action, ceasing work, feeling retired, letting go and work-related involvement. Conclusion Work attributes related to personal factors, social factors, meaningful occupational engagement and the nexus of work and retirement influence all work-to-retirement transition stages. Volition assists in explaining the complexity of this transition. Occupational therapists can assist older workers to continue working or identify and implement meaningful occupations to replace work activities in retirement.
