ABSTRACT

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of assistive technology-based occupational therapy on occupational performance, satisfaction, and psychosocial impacts of community-dwelling people recovering from stroke.

Methods

A total of eleven community-dwelling people recovering from stroke participated in an occupational therapy intervention based on the core concepts of the Human Activity Assistive Technology (HAAT) model. The intervention involved the adoption of assistive technology devices (ATDs) to perform individual goal activities in the daily lives of people recovering from stroke. The intervention was conducted weekly as a 30-min session for a total of 4 weeks, in the home where each participant actually resided.

Results

All participants in the intervention showed statistically significant improvements in occupational performance, satisfaction, and goal attainment level with regard to the individually meaningful activities, between pretest, posttest, and follow-up. User satisfaction with the ATDs and associated services was generally ‘satisfactory,’ and the mean score significantly increased from post-intervention to follow-up. The psychosocial impact of assistive technologies significantly improved from post-intervention to follow-up evaluation.

Conclusion

Interventions involving concepts, processes, and strategies based on the HAAT model should be continuously performed to select and adopt appropriate interventions involving assistive technologies.

基于辅助技术的职业治疗对社区居民卒中康复的影响

摘要

目的

本研究的目的是调查基于辅助技术的职业治疗对中风康复的社区居民的职业表现、满意度和社会心理影响的影响。

方法

共有 11 名中风康复的社区居民参与了基于人类活动辅助技术 (HAAT) 模型核心概念的职业治疗干预。干预涉及采用辅助技术设备 (ATD) 在中风康复者的日常生活中执行个人目标活动。干预每周在每个参与者实际居住的家中进行，每次 30 分钟，共持续 4 周。

结果

干预的所有参与者在前测、后测和后续行动之间，在个人有意义的活动方面，在职业表现、满意度和目标达成水平方面都表现出统计学上的显着改善。用户对 ATD 和相关服务的满意度总体上是“令人满意的”，并且平均得分从干预后到随访显着增加。从干预后到后续评估，辅助技术的社会心理影响显着改善。

结论

应持续执行涉及基于 HAAT 模型的概念、过程和策略的干预措施，以选择和采用涉及辅助技术的适当干预措施。
