Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 3 (March 2018) . - p. 147-153 Titre : Application of the comprehensive environmental questionnaire for older adults requiring support for community-living Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hiromi Nakamura-Thomas ; Makoto Kyougoku ; Kenji Yabuwaki Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 147-153 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  environnement  évaluation Résumé : Introduction The Comprehensive Environmental Questionnaire for the Elderly (CEQ) was developed to measure satisfaction levels among community-dwelling older adults regarding their environment. The CEQ comprises 14 question items grouped into three factors, which are rated on a four-point Likert scale. To expand the applicability of the CEQ to community-dwelling older adults requiring support from long-term care and family members for their community-living, this study examined the factorial structure and scale system of the CEQ to verify its validity and reliability. Method Data were collected individually from 218 participants who receive no rehabilitative services but require homemaking services and/or support from family members. The factorial structure and scale system were examined using structural equation modeling and an item response theory (IRT) approach, respectively. Findings We obtained values between 0.93 and 0.66 for factor loadings, 0.98 for comparative fit index, and 0.97 for Tucker–Lewis index, which indicated a good to adequate fit. The value of root mean square error of approximation was 0.094, indicating a mediocre fit. The IRT analysis showed an accurate description of item function of the CEQ. Conclusion The CEQ was applicable to the present study population. Although the CEQ concept was confirmed, the questionnaire warrants further improvement.

Occupation-based practice: A new momentum in Japan / Hiromi Nakamura-Thomas in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 7 (Juillet 2018)

Critical reflection on practice Occupational therapists, paramedics and partner agencies developed a structured learning programme which facilitated a positive approach to exploring clinical reasoning through shared clinical experiences. This led to the creation of a flexible care pathway with the aim of reducing unnecessary admission to hospital. Implications for practice Understanding models of clinical reasoning can facilitate the cultural shift between healthcare professions with the potential to reduce pressure on hospitals.

Validity and reliability of the Japanese Interest Checklist for the Elderly / Hiromi Nakamura-Thomas in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.79 N°7 (July 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.79 N°7 (July 2016) . - p. 417-426 Titre : Validity and reliability of the Japanese Interest Checklist for the Elderly Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hiromi Nakamura-Thomas ; Makoto Kyougoku ; Renee Taylor Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p. 417-426 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : personne âgée  participation sociale  japon Résumé : Introduction The validity and reliability of the Japanese Interest Checklist for the Elderly were examined. Method 687 participants responded, using the new scale system: ‘currently participate based on interest,’ ‘participate less because of health status’ or ‘no interest.’ The convergent and discriminant validity of the factorial structure were examined using two-stage Confirmatory Factor Analysis approaches. The discriminant validity and reliability of the scale system were examined using two-stage Item Response Theory approaches. Results The first Confirmatory Factor Analysis stage indicated values representing good (factor loadings: 0.99–0.75; Comparative Fit Index: 0.99; Tucker-Lewis Index: 0.98) to adequate (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation: 0.054) fit levels. Both the discriminant validity and convergent validity were identified to be high. The second Confirmatory Factor Analysis stage with a Path analysis and consideration of age and gender indicated values representing a good fit (factor loadings: 0.99–0.78; Comparative Fit Index: 0.99; Tucker-Lewis Index: 0.98; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation: 0.048). The first Item Response Theory stage indicated the values for the discriminant validity in the expected ranges; however, it displayed lower reliability in some activities. The second Item Response Theory state with the latent-class model-based multi-group Item Response Theory confirmed the pattern of invariance. Conclusion The factorial structure was valid across different groups of people. The scale system has to be improved.
