摘要
Objective. The purpose of this study wets to examine the use of the Occupational Adaptation frame of reference in the evaluation and treatment of patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA). Method. Outcomes of functional independence and discharge environment were measured through a quasi-experimental design. Twenty-five former patients served as the control subjects, and 25 patients admitted after the programmatic implementation of Occupational Adaptation served as the treatment subjects. Results. Data analyses indicated that the Occupational Adaptation subjects achieved higher levels of functional independence and were discharged to less restrictive environments compared with the control subjects. Conclusion. Use of intervention guided by the Occupational Adaption frame of reference was associated with improved functional independence and discharge to less-restricted environments for this group of patients with CVA.
