Occupational therapists working with clients in productive occupations explicitly or implicitly assess their clients' occupational engagement.
To investigate the psychometric properties of the Profiles of Occupational Engagement in People with Severe Mental Illness: Productive Occupations (POES-P) in terms of internal consistency, initial construct validation, and floor and ceiling effects.
Participants (n = 93) from six day centres completed the data collection. Correlations between the POES-P and instruments measuring similar and dissimilar attributes, such as satisfaction, psychosocial functioning, and unmet needs, were studied.
A moderate relationship was found between the POES-P and occupational satisfaction (r(s) = 0.43) and a weak one with psychosocial functioning (r(s) = 0.22). The association with researcher-assessed participant engagement was slightly higher (r(s) = 0.37), and the relationship with unmet needs was nonsignificant (r(s) = -0.15). Internal consistency of the POES-P (alpha = 0.85) was good, but the distribution of responses indicated a ceiling effect.
The POES-P seems promising for assessing engagement in work-like occupations but would benefit from further development.
从事生产性职业的职业治疗师会明确或隐含地评估其服务对象的职业参与度。
从内部一致性、初始结构效度以及地板效应和天花板效应方面,调查重度精神疾病患者职业参与度概况:生产性职业(POES-P)的心理测量特性。
来自六个日间护理中心的93名参与者完成了数据收集。研究了POES-P与测量相似和不同属性(如满意度、心理社会功能和未满足需求)的工具之间的相关性。
发现POES-P与职业满意度之间存在中等程度的关系(斯皮尔曼等级相关系数r(s)=0.43),与心理社会功能之间存在较弱的关系(r(s)=0.22)。与研究人员评估的参与者参与度的关联略高(r(s)=0.37),与未满足需求的关系不显著(r(s)=-0.15)。POES-P的内部一致性良好(α=0.85),但反应分布显示存在天花板效应。
POES-P在评估类似工作的职业参与度方面似乎很有前景,但需要进一步改进。
