Validity, responsiveness, and perceptions of clinical utility of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure when used in a sub-acute setting.

CONCLUSIONS: This study provides evidence of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure's validity, responsiveness and clinical utility when used in a sub-acute setting. Implications for rehabilitation The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure appears able to effectively evaluate the outcomes of occupational therapy interventions, including in sub-acute rehabilitation settings. It is an individualized outcome measure where clients are responsible for measuring their own progress and meaningful outcomes from therapy. Evidence of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure's convergent validity, predictive validity and responsiveness to change was found which contributes to the body of knowledge of its psychometric properties. From a qualitative perspective, the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was found to improve clinical decision making, facilitating client engagement, formulating clear treatment goals and making therapy more meaningful for clients.
