▼ Cerebral Palsy (CP) is one of the most common neurologic conditions treated by physical therapists (PTs); and, improving the ambulation ability of these children is often the most common goal of treatment. Orthopedic surgical intervention can improve the gait of children with spastic CP that have difficulty with walking. Finding which surgical procedures or combination of procedures are the most effective for improving the walking ability of these children is a complex task. This three study dissertation examines the surgical outcomes, and the measures used to determine surgical outcome, of children with spastic CP undergoing orthopedic surgical intervention to improve their gait. All three studies were retrospective in design, and utilized a sample of convenience at a motion analysis laboratory of a hospital that specialized in orthopedic surgery for children with CP. The data reviewed and contained within these studies spanned the years 1994 to 2011. The subject's' ages ranged from 4.5 years to 18. 2 years. There are several findings within these studies. The first finding is that orthopedic surgical intervention used in conjunction with a motion analysis laboratory improves the gait of children with spastic CP as noted by the consistent improvement in the Gait Deviation Index (GDI). The second finding is support for the belief that an accurate gait outcome assessment for a given intervention should include both functional and technical gait measures. The third finding suggests that when conducting and analyzing gait outcomes in children with CP, their Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level; pre-intervention GDI; and, pattern of involvement should be considered. The fourth finding is a suggestion that increased velocity may not always accompany improvements in the gait of children with spastic CP. Therefore increased velocity may not always be an accurate outcome measure for this particular population after undergoing orthopedic surgery to improve their gait. The fifth finding of this study is support for the use of the GDI along with surgical technical achievement goals (TAGs) as a pair of technical outcome measures for ambulatory children with CP having lower extremity orthopedic surgery to improve their ambulation.

▼ Altered hip and knee muscle activity has been associated with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). While spinal manipulation has been used to alter muscle activity and to reduce muscle inhibition for extremity dysfunctions, few studies examined the spinal manipulation effects on hip and knee electromyography (EMG) activity. The purpose of phase 1 of the study was to examine the immediate effect of a single lumbopelvic manipulation on EMG amplitude of the hip and knee muscles as well as knee pain intensity in people with PFPS. The purpose of phase 2 of the study was to examine the carry-over effects of lumbopelvic manipulation administered twice within 72 hours on the EMG amplitude of the hip and knee muscle, knee pain intensity, and functional level. Twenty-four participants with PFPS were randomly assigned into two treatment groups: lumbopelvic manipulation group (n = 12) and placebo group (n = 12). EMG amplitude of the gluteus maximus (Gmax), gluteus medius (Gmed), vastus medialis oblique (VMO), and vastus lateralis (VL) muscles was collected during stair-stepping tasks. The visual analog scale (VAS) was used to collect the knee pain intensity and the lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) was used to assess the functional level. For phase 1, EMG data was collected before and immediately, 15 min, 30 min, and 45 min after the intervention. The VAS was collected before and immediately after the intervention. For phase 2, EMG amplitude, the VAS scores and the LEFS scores were collected at baseline and at the 1-week follow-up. The results of phase 1 showed no significant difference (p > .5) for the EMG data or the VAS. The results of phase 2 showed a significant difference of main effect of time for the VMO and Gmed muscles. However, this finding maybe related to a testing effect. The findings suggest no effect of the lumbopelvic manipulation on any of the outcome measures. However, the small sample size, the lack of homogeneity and the low level of knee pain in our participants might have contributed to the lack of significance in our results.

▼ The World Health Organization (WHO) defines participation as central to health. Occupational therapy views participation as both the means and end to health (AOTA, 2013). Family members are interdependent and their abilities to participate affect one another (Sameroff & Fiese, 2000). Therapists assess each family member s ability to participate when they intervene in a child s life (AOTA, 2008). Children with various developmental delays demonstrate sensory abnormalities and maladaptive behaviors that cause parental stress (Baker, Blacher, Crnic & Edelbrock , 2002; Schaaf et al., 2011; Tomcheck & Dunn, 2007). Occupational therapy holds that maladaptive behaviors result from sensory processing abnormalities (Ayres, 1971; Dunn, 1997). Some literature supports these theories (Ashburner, Ziviana & Rodger, 2008; Lane, Baker & Angley, 2010). Other literature finds no relationship between sensory abnormalities and behavior (Hoehn, & Baumeister, 1994; Rogers and Ozonoff, 2005). This dissertation explored the effects of abnormal sensory processing and maladaptive behaviors of young children with disabilities on their parent s ability to participate. It further explored the relationship between abnormal sensory processing and maladaptive behavior. These relationships were explored through correlation and regression analyses with three tools: the Life Participation For Parents (LPP), The Infant Toddler Sensory Profile (ITSP), and the Child Behavior Checklist 1.5-5 (CBCL) on parent reports on 43 children. Correlations between LPP and ITSP constructs showed no significant relationships. Correlations between LPP and CBCL 1.5-5 constructs revealed weak inverse relationships between Anxious/Depressed, Sleep Problems, Aggressive Behaviors and parent participation. Correlations between ITSP and CBCL 1.5-5 constructs showed weak inverse relationships between Low Registration and Anxious/Depressed Behavior and moderate inverse relationships between Low Registration and Withdrawn, Attention Problems, and Aggressive Behavior. Sensation Seeking showed weak inverse relationships with Emotionally Reactive, and a moderate inverse relationship with Attention Problems. Sensory Sensitivity had weak inverse relationships with Sleep and Avoiding, and moderate inverse relationships with Emotionally Reactive, Anxious/Depressed, Somatic, and Aggressive Behavior. Sensation Avoiding showed moderate inverse relationships with Emotionally Reactive, Anxious/Depressed, Somatic and Withdrawn between LPP and CBCL 1.5-5 constructs. Predictive relationships between Low Registration and Sensory Sensitivity characteristics and Internalizing Behaviors only were found. Maladaptive behaviors were weakly related to lower parent participation however there was no predictive nature to these relationships in this sample of children. Relationships between behavior and sensory processing constructs are stronger and some predictive relationships were found. This supports theories that suggest that behavior is related to sensory processing experiences.

▼ Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT) is a therapeutic intervention using constraint of the non-involved limb while a child engages in intense training with hemiplegic extremity. No studies to date have examined the effectiveness of CIMT combined with the Armeo®Spring Pediatric, a robotic device, in the pediatric hemiplegic cerebral palsy (hCP) population. The Armeo®Spring combines virtual reality games with repetitive upper limb movements. The games aim to increase motivation to complete repetitive tasks required to improve function. The purpose of this study was to examine the effectiveness of hand function of CIMT compared to CIMT with Armeo®Spring and the perceived experience of using the Armeo®Spring compared to fine motor tasks. </DISS_para> <DISS_para>Twelve children with hCP (age 6-11yr, 8 M, MACS Level I= 2, II= 9, III= 1, right hCP= 7) were recruited at a pediatric hospital. Eight subjects completed CIMT camp 6 hours for 10 days; 4 subjects completed CIMT camp with Armeo®Spring daily for 30 minutes. Primary outcome measure, Assisting Hand Assessment (AHA), and secondary outcome measures, Melbourne Assessment of Unilateral Upper Limb Function (MUUL), Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), Tone (MAS and Tardieu), Range of Motion, grip strength, proprioception, and stereognosis were compared before and post intervention. Perceived observations on motivation, engagement, enjoyment and frustration were recorded during Armeo®Spring and fine motor activities.</DISS_para> <DISS_para>Clinically significant gains were observed in the augmented CIMT group on the AHA, COPM, and grip strength. The CIMT group demonstrated improvements on the AHA, MUUL, COPM, and grip strength. The augmented group demonstrated significant improvement on the AHA. Mean scores for motivation, engagement, and enjoyment were higher on the Armeo®Spring than fine motor tasks. The Armeo®Spring is a novel therapy that improves functional outcomes for children with hCP. Compared to CIMT alone, CIMT with Armeo®Spring appears to provide more intensive training. Based on particpant comments, its robotic features and videogame interface also appeal to the children leading to increased motivation, engagement and enjoyment while providing the just right challenge of the affected limb. This study provides a framework supported by evidence-based data for non-invasive treatment of children with hCP.

▼ The United States is a melting pot of different cultures and individuals from countries all over the world. A major part of that diverse constituency includes forced migrants, who typically experience disruptions in their everyday lives during the resettlement process. Contemporary occupational therapy has begun to examine the occupational needs of this marginalized group and focus on occupational engagement of these resettling individuals. This mixed method study aimed to understand adaptation and quality of life of forced migrants attempting to reconstruct their lives in the United States. Three research studies were conducted to respond to the research study purpose. Study 1 was a mixed method design that examined the relationship between adaptation, as measured by a health related quality of life survey, and temporal adaptation. Five individuals resettling in the United States for different lengths of time completed a brief survey and provided an explanation for their choices. Study 2 utilized open ended interviews to understand the perspectives of two individuals seeking refuge in the United States. This phenomenological study provided insights into the lived experience of the two migrants and described the ways in which their experiences influenced their choices, priorities and goals for the future. The primary aim of Study 3 was to explore the everyday lives and occupations of forced migrants from the perspective of service providers who work with these individuals. An ethnomethodology approach using open ended interviews with seven service providers including occupational therapy faculty, a social worker, and a community agency representative was completed. The studies showed that adaptation was a multi-dimensional, individualistic process where each participant had distinct trajectories, based on their experiences and expectations. Migrants from different countries had different needs and faced different environmental challenges. As a result, it was proposed that occupational therapists can assist them in overcoming these challenges, thereby improving quality of life. Occupational therapy appears to be a much needed service for these individuals who are resettling; and model interventions are described. A detailed synthesis of the three studies with implications for occupational therapy practice and research are included.

▼ Background: The purpose of study is to examine the effect of the addition of a pelvic compression belt to a lumbopelvic stabilization program on disability, pain, and muscle thickness of the deep abdominals and perceived change due to intervention in patients with sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain. Methods: Thirty participants with unilateral SIJ pain were recruited and randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups: lumbopelvic stabilization exercises plus belt (LSE+belt) or lumbopelvic stabilization exercises (LSE) alone. Both groups received the same lumbopelvic stabilization program for 12 weeks with first 4 weeks under supervision. The LSE+belt group also received a pelvic compression belt for the first 4 weeks. Outcome measures collected at baseline, 4 weeks and 12 weeks included the Modified Oswestry Low Back Pain Disability Questionnaire (OSW), Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), and percent change of transverse abdominis (TrA) and internal oblique (IO) muscle thickness using ultrasound imaging. Perceived improvement using the Global Rating of Change (GROC) scale was collected at 4 weeks and 3 months. Four 2x3 ANOVAs (group x time) with repeated measures were used to examine the effect of the interventions on OSW scores, NPRS scores, and percent change of muscle thickness for the TrA and IO. Mann-Whitney U tests were used to analyze the GROC scores. Results: The ANOVA results revealed a significant interaction for percent change of TrA (p = 0.004), but not for the OSW, NPRS, or percent change of IO. Post-hoc analysis revealed that both groups increased the percent change of TrA from baseline to 4 weeks but decreased the percent change of TrA from 4 weeks to 3 months; however the LSE group demonstrated a greater decrease. Further, the results demonstrated that all participants had significant improvements in pain and disability over time. Lastly, all participants showed improved GROC scores at 4 weeks and 3 months but there was no significant difference between groups. Conclusion: LSE appear to reduce pain and disability in those with SIJ pain. However, the pelvic compression belt did not offer any additional benefit. Additionally, all patients had increased muscle thickness of TrA in the first 4 weeks when they received a supervised lumbopelvic stabilization program.

▼ BACKGROUND: Pain, sleep and functional disturbances are a common occurrence in people living with HIV/AIDS-related distal sensory peripheral neuropathy (PLWHA-DSPN), yet lack group classification and quantification. DSPN-pain is predominantly managed by using systemic agents with little evidence supporting their analgesic efficacy. Animal models suggest the presence of analgesic effects associated with immobilization. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of nighttime lower extremity splinting application on DSPN-related pain and sleep disturbances compared to a splint liner application. METHODS: Forty-six PLWHA-DSPN were recruited, as part of a two-group intervention study, to complete the Neuropathic Pain Scale (NPS) and The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaires. The participant's performance during a forward reach task and walking distance in six minutes was recorded as a measure of function. For the intervention study, pain and sleep outcomes were measured at baseline, week three and six. The pain outcome was measured using the NPS and the sleep outcome using the PSQI. RESULTS: The baseline pain (60.77±17.85) and sleep (14.62±4.28) scores denote marked pain and sleep disturbances, compared to seronegative age-matched individuals. The ambulation distance was limited (243.99±141.04 m), and inversely associated with the PSQI-sleep efficiency subscale (rs=-0.35, p<0.05). The average reaching distances measured at baseline (36.07±7.37 cm) were similar to seronegative age-matched individuals. Pain, sleep, and functional measures exhibited significant associations. Pain and sleep scores improved in both intervention groups over time. The median percentage pain reduction at week six was 8% in the liner group and 34% in the splint group. The change in pain scores in the splint group was found to be significant over time, p<0.0005. The contrast between the splint and liner groups was underpowered (26%) and was not found to be significant, p>0.05. Sleep scores improved 20% from baseline to the end of the study in both groups; all participants were classified as poor sleepers. CONCLUSIONS: The data collected suggest that PLWHA-DSPN report moderate to severe pain, significant sleep disturbances and limited ambulation distances. The six-week use of nighttime splints reduces DSPN-pain. Future studies are needed to validate effective this non-pharmacological intervention to manage HIV-related DSPN pain.

▼ Major changes have occurred in physical therapy education including advancement from the Master's to Doctoral degree in physical therapist (PT) education, and the rapid increase in physical therapist assistant (PTA) programs housed in for-profit institutions. In light of these changes, purposes of this study were to: (a) identify institutional, program and productivity factors related to graduation rate and licensure pass rate in physical therapy education programs and (b) determine whether institutional, program, and productivity factors were predictive of successful graduate outcomes. De-identified data from 200 PT and 274 PTA programs in the U.S. in 2012 was utilized. Correlations were calculated to examine relationships among selected independent variables and dependent variables of graduation rate, first-time licensure pass rates, and ultimate 3-year pass rate. Prediction models were developed using regression analyses. All relationships were generally small. Factors positively related to PT program outcomes included Carnegie classification (research very high activity), full-time clinical education length, number of peer-reviewed articles, research space, and number of faculty with grants. Factors negatively related to PT program outcomes were private institutional status, student to full-time core faculty ratio and faculty turnover. All related variables were predictors of program outcomes. Factors positively related to PTA program outcomes were ratio of clinical education length to program length and Carnegie classifications (Baccalaureate and Master's). Factors negatively related to PTA program outcomes included Carnegie classification (private for-profit), number of cohorts per year, for-profit institutional status, and program length. The primary predictor of licensure pass rates, a negative predictor, was for-profit institutional status. The results can inform stakeholders in PT and PTA education, including program faculty, administrators, students, Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education, and the public. Stakeholders may assess or compare programs using results as benchmarking data for characteristics not previously studied. CAPTE's accreditation expectation of faculty scholarly productivity for PT programs was affirmed with the positive relationships to graduation and pass rates. Factors related to Carnegie classifications and institutional status impacted PT and PTA program outcomes and warrant further study. The relationship among clinical education time, performance and licensure exam pass rates is not clear and merits further study.

▼ The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of hand therapy intervention to a placebo control group over a 4-week treatment period for participants with thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) osteoarthritis. Although hand therapy is recommended treatment for thumb CMC osteoarthritis, there is insufficient high quality evidence, particularly placebo and non-splint RCT's, to support hand therapy intervention (orthoses, therapeutic exercise, and joint protection techniques) for treatment of patients suffering with the symptoms of thumb CMC osteoarthritis. Thirty-five thumbs from 26 participants, 25 female and 1 male, (9 with bilateral involvement) were included after it was determined the participants had a positive grind test. The participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the treatment group, N = 17, were fitted with two orthoses (a neoprene Hely Weber Contoller and a rigid orthoplastic custom orthosis), taught therapeutic exercises and shown joint protection techniques. The control group, N = 18, was given sham cream to lightly apply to the thumb CMC joint. Trained testers, who were blinded to the participants' assignment group, administered the Australian Canadian Hand Osteoarthritis Index (AUSCAN), the lateral pinch strength measurement and accessed the participants' pain while pinching using the VAS scale. The AUSCAN was used as the primary outcome measure. The participants were accessed prior to treatment and 4 weeks later. The between subjects effect of the treatment group and the control group for the post-test AU SCAN post-test scores were statistically significant (p = 0.016) and the within subjects effect for the pretest AUSCAN and post-test AU SCAN scores of the treatment group were significant (p = 0.0001). The within subjects effect for the pretest VAS pain and post-test VAS pain scores was significant for the treatment group (p = 0.0001 ). The pinch strength test was not found to be significantly different between the treatment and the control group. Advisors/Committee Members: Roddey, Toni (advisor).

▼ The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to develop and implement a military cultural group intervention that would facilitate veterans' adaptation to long-term care residential settings. Eleven male veterans residing in a state-funded veteran's home between the ages of 60 to 92 years participated in the study. The research team obtained participant informed consent, screened, interviewed, coded interviews, identified themes and developed a protocol-driven intervention based on the emergent themes. The participant interviews revealed specific person and environment factors that veterans value when transitioning to long-term-care. A protocol manual entitled, Occupation-based Cultural Heritage Interview-Military Version (OBCHI-MV) was designed based on these participant-identified topics. The manual incorporated music, food, leisure activities, etc. to meet the specific needs of the participants and was used to facilitate a six-session group intervention. Pre- and post-tests measuring activity engagement, social participation and quality of life were administered to measure the effectiveness of the intervention. Data analysis using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test revealed marginally significant improvement (p = .08) and moderate effect size (Cohen's d=0.74) of the Standard Form-12, Physical Component Score, which indicated participants felt healthier post-intervention. The Quality of Life Index (Psychological and Family Subtests) depicted a trend towards being clinical meaningful, however change from pre-test to post-test was not statistically significant for any of the measures (all ps > .05). The unifying element for group cohesion was military culture. In isolation, data analysis of the pre- and post-test mean scores were not significant; however, when coupled with participant interviews, results from the Yesterday Interview (YI) and Post-Intervention Participant Survey, the findings of this study indicate the OBCHI-MV has the potential to improve quality of life, activity engagement and social participation for veterans who have recently transitioned to long-term care.

▼ Patients with chronic low back pain (CLBP) have been shown to have increased fatigability levels of hip and low back muscles as measured by the surface electromyographic (EMG) median frequency (MF). In addition, literature suggests that lumbopelvic manipulation could be an effective intervention for reducing CLBP. However, the effects of lumbopelvic manipulation on lumbar or hip muscle fatigability have not been studied previously. The purposes of the study were to examine the immediate and short-term effects of a single lumbopelvic manipulation on the muscle fatigability level of the lumbar multifidus (MULT), gluteus maximus (GMAX) and gluteus medius (GMED) muscles in addition to the pain level as compared to a placebo intervention in patients with CLBP. Thirty-one participants with CLBP, 30.2 ±10.1 years of age, completed the immediate effect part of the study, and 27 participants, 29.9 ±8.1years of age, completed the short-term effect part of the study. Three EMG electrodes were placed on the painful side of the MULT, GMAX and GMED muscles. For the immediate effect part of the study, EMG was collected during the modified Biering-Sorensen test five times: before the intervention, and immediately, 15 min, 30 min, and 45 min after the intervention. After the baseline EMG recording, each participant was randomized into one of two intervention groups: manipulation and placebo. Participants in the manipulation group received a high-velocity low amplitude lumbopelvic manipulation. Participants in the placebo group were set up in a position for the lumbopelvic manipulation, but did not receive a thrust. For the short-term effects part of the study, EMG of the three muscles were recorded during the modified Biering- Sorensen test three days and one week after the intervention. In addition, pain level was collected at all seven time points. There was no significant difference in the fatigability level of the three muscles between groups before and at 4 time points after the intervention. However, the manipulation group had a significant reduction in pain as compared to the placebo group between 15 and 30 min after the intervention (p = 0.032). In addition, there was no significant difference between groups on fatigability level of the three muscles three days and one week after intervention. Both groups had significant pain reduction three days (p = 0.019) and one week (p < 0.001) after the intervention. Although manual intervention had a positive effect on pain reduction, it did not alter the fatigability level of the back and hip muscles. Manual intervention can be a useful treatment approach to decrease pain in patients with CLBP. However, clinicians may consider other treatment options when the goal is to improve fatigability of the back and hip muscles for this patient population.

▼ Research suggested that empirically-supported treatments (ESTs) and available treatment guidelines for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are underutilized. Evidence suggests that psychotherapists’ attitudes, training in empirically-supported treatments, years of clinical practice, and theoretical orientation influence their utilization more than established guidelines. Limited research investigated the clinical practices of psychotherapists who treat PTSD. In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate psychotherapists’ treatment practices for patients diagnosed with PTSD. In addition, an attempt was made to determine how theoretical orientation, evidence-supported exposure-based training, and years of clinical training impacted treatment practices. The author-generated demographic and training information questionnaire, informed consent, vignettes, and trauma practices questionnaire (TPQ; Craig & Sprang, 2009) were administered through Psychdata, an online survey website and were distributed via email to program training directors and personal contacts. One hundred and forty-three participants were included in the final data analysis. A repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed that psychotherapists rated eclectic therapy and cognitive therapy interventions highest for vignettes 1, 2, and 3. A one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) revealed that psychotherapists who identified CBT as their primary theoretical orientation rated cognitive therapy higher than psychotherapists who identify with integrative, psychodynamic, or other theoretical orientations. Several one-way MANOVAs were conducted revealing that psychotherapists with no training in evidence-supported treatment (i.e., prolonged exposure [PE], cognitive processing therapy [CPT], or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing [EMDR]) did not rate eclectic therapy higher for vignette 1, 2, or 3. Results indicated that psychotherapists with training in PE or CPT rated cognitive or behavioral therapy interventions highest. Several one-way MANOVAs were conducted revealing that psychotherapists with high years (8-39) of clinical training did not rate eclectic therapy higher for vignette 1, 2, or 3.

▼ Menopause, the natural biological change that occurs during the aging process, is the permanent cessation of menses and fertility that generally occurs between 45 and 55 years of age. Although many women may seek some type of intervention during their menopausal transition, others may avoid doing so for various reasons. Some of the factors that reportedly affect women's decisions about whether or not to seek menopausal treatment include knowledge and attitudes about changes that occur during menopause, severity of symptoms accompanying menopause, knowledge about treatment options, physician recommendations, and friends' or family members' experiences with various treatment options. The purposes of this study were to: (1) Determine the most common therapies reported by women transitioning through menopause; (2) Determine factors that influenced participants' therapy decisions; and (3) Determine if there are significant differences in decisions based on age, race, income level, employment status, health insurance, health status, severity of menopausal symptoms, and knowledge and attitudes related to menopause. Two hundred seventy four female participants, aged 40-60, recruited from northern Louisiana, completed an anonymous survey offered in online format. Chi square and multiple logistic regressions were used to analyze the data. The most common treatments/therapies reported by participants in the study were estrogen, progesterone, and combined hormone therapy. Significant relationships were revealed between attitudes and treatment/therapy use, and knowledge and treatment/therapy use. Women holding the attitude that menopause is a natural part of the aging process were at significantly lesser odds of currently being on menopause treatment/therapy compared with those who perceive menopause to be a medical condition ( Odds Ratio = .188, p = .036). Furthermore, women holding a positive attitude towards hormone therapy were at significantly greater odds of currently being on menopause treatment/therapy compared to women with negative attitudes towards hormone therapy (Odds Ratio = 6.752, p = .009). The most frequent menopausal symptoms reported by participants were hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, vaginal dryness, and loss of interest in sex. A large proportion of the women in this study reported physicians as their primary source of menopause information, but postmenopausal women were more likely to obtain information from physicians than premenopausal and perimenopausal women. This presents an opportunity to educate women prior to cessation of menses about the possible symptoms that occur during the menopausal transition, treatment/therapy options, important health implications related to menopause in general, and benefits and risks related to decisions on the use of treatment/therapy.

▼ Dementia is a progressive, chronic disorder that affects 3 to 4 million individuals in the U.S. Challenges that occur as the disease progresses are: decline in cognitive functions; disruption of sleep and eating patterns; disorientation to person, place, and time; and loss of ability to understand and communicate. Due to these challenges, a person with dementia (PWD) requires more supervision and assistance to remain safe. Caregivers provide this level of supervision and assistance to the PWD. This amount of assistance can cause caregiver stress or physical or emotional strain. Caregiver stress increases when PWD exhibits challenging behaviors that manifest as part of the disease. Occupational therapy practitioners play a unique role in developing strategies for helping families effectively cope with dementia. The purpose of this research study was to explore the benefits of caring for a person diagnosed with dementia and develop an approach for occupational therapy to facilitate possible positive dimensions of caregiving. This research study was guided by three aims. The first aim explored caregivers’ perspectives on experiences of caring for a family member with dementia. The second aim examined ways in which occupational therapy currently facilitates positive dimensions of care by collecting data from occupational therapists by using an interview guide. The last aim was to develop an intervention protocol for occupational therapy that will help enhance positive relationships between caregiving dyad members. This protocol was developed based on the data collected from the first two aims and current best evidence. This was developed to help build a program that can assist in improving interaction between caregivers and care receivers. The occupational therapists used the AGREE II to provide feedback on the quality of interventions that were developed based on the data collected. The findings showed that the interventions used to create the caregiver intervention protocol manual can be used in clinical practice and caregiver education to improve interaction between caregiving dyad members but will require clearer stated objectives, risks, and strengths and limitations of the interventions.

▼ Social participation, the interweaving of occupations to support desired engagement in community and family activities as well as those involving peers and friends (Gillen& Boyt Schell, 2014, p. 607), is identified as an important occupation within the domain of occupational therapy (AOTA, 2014). Social participation includes engagement at the community, family, and peer levels. However, little information is available in occupational therapy literature regarding social participation issues of adolescents with visual impairment. This dissertation study explores the perceptions of adolescent with visual impairment and their parents regarding their experiences of social participation. The Children s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment and the Preferences for Activities of Children were used to compare the social activity patterns of five adolescents who have visual impairments with five typically sighted adolescents. The assessments were administered in interview format. Five visually impaired teens perceptions of their social participation experiences and their meaning were explored through semi-structured in-depth interviews. Three parents of teen participants shared their perceptions of their own and their children s social participation experiences through semi-structured in-depth interviews. Case-by-case analysis and cross-case analysis assisted in identifying emerging themes: protection versus freedom, concern about social participation, and barriers and supports to social participation. Sub- themes within barriers were identified as lack of access to information and mobility. Sub-themes of supports were identified as vision-related specialized services and importance of team activities. Implications for occupational therapy include the need to develop a knowledge and evidence base for intervention in the area of social participation for adolescents who have visual impairments. In order to address the challenges to social participation described by the participants, more research is needed. Questions remaining to be answered include: How can occupational therapists support social participation of adolescents who have visual impairments? How can occupational therapists contribute to effective community mobility of adolescents who have visual impairments? How can occupational therapists support and collaborate with other professionals who address the needs of adolescents with visual impairments? Additional research is needed to ensure the efficacy of interventions that might be used.
