This study aimed to explore which assessment tools Spanish occupational therapists use in their clinical practice. An ad hoc online questionnaire of 19 open and closed questions was used to collect information on assessment tools, socio-demographics, and academic background. The assessment tools were classified according to the main domains of occupational therapy using the last edition of the American Occupational Therapy Association framework. The survey was completed by 73 Spanish occupational therapists, of whom 86.3% were women; the median age was 31 years, and more than 60% treated people suffering from neurological and neurodegenerative disorders or worked in geriatric medicine. Of 147 assessment tools identified, those designed to assess activities of daily living, body functions, process skills, and motor ski...

However, the role that children’s and adolescents’ diets play in maintaining TL is not well understood. Thus, we conducted a systematic review to examine the association between the intake of nutrients, foods, food groups, and/or dietary patterns and TL in childhood and adolescence. Following the PRISMA guidelines, we searched MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane databases and additional registers and methods. The five selected studies were cross-sectional and conducted in children and adolescents aged 2 to 18 years. The main results suggest that a higher consumption of fish, nuts and seeds, fruits and vegetables, green leafy and cruciferous vegetables, olives, legumes, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and an antioxidant-rich diet might positively affect TL. On the contrary, a higher intake of dairy products, simple sugar, sugar-sweetened beverages, cereals, especially white bread, and a diet high in glycae...

En este estudio se analizó el uso de la RV en terapia ocupacional con pacientes neurológicos. Métodos: se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo transversal con terapeutas ocupacionales de centros de neurorrehabilitación de la provincia de Alicante, entre febrero y mayo de 2017. La información se recogió online con un cuestionario de 36 preguntas. Resultados. De 23 participantes, la mayoría eran mujeres (82.6%) y con edad media de 31.4 (DE: 4.1) años. La mitad (52.2%) usaba la realidad virtual como herramienta de tratamiento, principalmente con personas de 46-65 años (75.0%), con daño cerebral adquirido (75.0%) y alteraciones cognitivas (91.7%). Las áreas principales de intervención fueron: atención (83.3%), visión (75.0%), miembro superior (75.0%), comunicación verbal (66.7%), alimentación (50.0%), compras (41.7%) y participación social con amigos (41.7%). Los sistemas de RV más utilizados fueron la plataforma NeuronUp (50.0%) y el ordenador y/o tableta junto con los dispositivos Kinect y Wii (33.3%). Conclusiones. Sólo la mitad de lo/as terapeutas ocupacionales usaban la realidad virtual como complemento al tratamiento convencional. Son necesarios más estudios sobre el uso de estas técnicas en terapia ocupacional con personas con afecciones neurológicas

There is evidence that suggests that interventions aimed at caregivers, such as mindfulness, may be effective at reducing this burden and emotional issues, such as depression and anxiety, and improving their quality of life. However, there is a lack of consistency in the findings and conclusions remain tentative. In addition, as neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) of AD are major determinants of the caregiver’s burden, these interventions should examine the relationship between these symptoms and caregiver outcomes. Importantly, to improve the design of therapeutic interventions for caregivers and complement the treatment of AD, aspects related to occupational performance and the participation of people with AD and their caregivers should also be considered. Therefore, th...

Sus secuelas producen alteraciones motoras, sensoriales y cognitivas, que pueden minimizarse con una actuacion terapeutica temprana. Por ello se necesitan instrumentos de evaluacion rapida que detecten deficits en estas areas. El Oxford Cognitive Screen Test (OCS) es un test breve disenado para la valoracion de funciones cognitivas en pacientes con ictus. Nuestro objetivo fue generar una version espanola (OCS-E) realizando una adaptacion linguistica y cultural. Material y metodos Diseno de validacion linguistica con doble traduccion y 10 reuniones de consenso del equipo investigador multidisciplinar. Tres estudios piloto administrando el test respectivamente a 5 usuarios potenciales, 23 personas sanas y 23 diagnosticadas de ictus isquemico (61%) o hemorragico, con edades entre 31-88 anos. Resultados El OCS-E mantiene las 10 tareas originales, la codificacion de respuestas y el sistema de puntuacion. Se modificaron y ampliaron las instrucciones de administracion, lo que asegura la fiabilidad del contenido y de su aplicacion. En 5 tareas se han modificado imagenes, numeros y frases. La tarea praxia se amplio para evaluar ambos miembros superiores. Los estudios piloto confirmaron que las personas de la poblacion diana comprendian de forma adecuada las tareas, con independencia de la existencia de problemas cognitivos. Conclusiones La adaptacion cultural ha generado una version linguistica y conceptualmente equivalente, permitiendo su estudio psicometrico y posterior aplicacion en poblacion espanola. El OCS-E puede ser un instrumento de cribado util para evaluacion rapida de funciones cognitivas postictus.

Hence, we aimed at exploring the association between sleep duration and quality and prevalence of sensory reactivity in a population-based sample of children aged 3–7.Methods: We examined data on 579 school-age children from the InProS project, a cross-sectional population-based study. Children's sleep duration was classified as <10 vs. ≥10 h/day, and sleep quality was measured using the Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire, defining poor quality sleep as a score of ≥0.33. The Short Sensory Profile (SSP) was used to classify children with or without sensory reactivity using the cut-off points proposed by W. Dunn for SSP total score and each SSP subscale. Prevalence ratios (PR) using Poisson multiple regression models wi...

Child sensory processing was measured using the short sensory profile (SSP); an atypical sensory performance was defined as an SSP total score <155 and scores of tactile sensitivity <30; taste/smell sensitivity <15; movement sensitivity <13; under-responsive/seeks sensation <27; auditory filtering <23; low energy/weak <26; and visual/auditory sensitivity <19. The BMI was calculated according to the cutoffs by the World Health Organization for children aged 0–5 and 5–19 years. We used multiple Poisson regression models with robust variance to obtain prevalence ratios (PR). No associations between children’s overweight and obesity and the prevalence of atypical sensory outcomes were observed. A one-point increase in BMI was significantly associated with a higher prevalence of atypical tactile sensitivity (PR = 1.07, 95% CI: ...

An examination of scientific skills in occupational therapists may be helpful in understanding their current practice as well as being useful in providing a basis for applying suitable approaches to the development and implementation of EBP. Hence, this study was designed with a double main objective: (1) to describe the level of acquisition of scientific skills and academic achievement in Spanish-speaking occupational therapists; (2) to examine the factors associated with these skills. The screening for Scientific Skills in Occupational Therapists (HAbilidades Científicas en Terapeutas Ocupacionales), the HACTO-Screen, is an online cross-sectional survey divided into five sections: sociodemographic data, academic and professional background; assessment of scientific skills; resear...
