Client-Chosen Goals in Occupational Therapy: Strategy and Instrument Pilot - 0 views

    Client-centered practice and outcomes research are missions of occupational
    therapy. Although strategies for client goal-setting have advanced the field, the
    process has limitations. The study in the article tested a self-report strategy using brief, easy to score measures. The Goals for Occupational Therapy List was completed at mostly independent intake and paired with a follow-up measure of Goal Satisfaction Rating by 40 clients in an outpatient rehabilitation center. The strategy of pairing self-report measures of goal-setting and attainment was useful for clinicians and yielded important research findings. This was a good pilot to lay ground for future research. I would like to see more on self-reporting. Sometimes I feel in evaluation there are times patients have inconsistencies and this can make goal setting difficult. So having tools to help could ease the process.
