BACKGROUND.: In occupational therapy practice, client assessments are essential for establishing treatment priorities and determining the effectiveness of interventions. However, occupational therapists' assessment practices are not well documented.
PURPOSE.: This work aimed to provide an overview of the assessment practices of Quebec occupational therapists based on the person-environment-occupation components and clienteles.
METHOD.: A cross-sectional survey was conducted using an online survey that was sent to occupational therapists in Quebec.
FINDINGS.: In paediatrics, occupational therapists tend to use standardized tools to assess physical and neurological abilities. Adult assessment focuses mainly on physical abilities and productivity. For seniors, assessment focuses mainly on functional aspects (physical abilities, personal care, and home safety) and screening for cognitive difficulties.
IMPLICATIONS.: Occupational therapy assessment mostly focuses on physicial abilities. To ensure a holistic approach, more occupational and environmental components should be included in the assessment practices.
在职业治疗实践中，对服务对象的评估对于确定治疗重点和判断干预措施的有效性至关重要。然而，职业治疗师的评估实践记录并不完善。
这项工作旨在基于人 - 环境 - 职业要素及服务对象群体，概述魁北克职业治疗师的评估实践。
采用在线调查问卷对魁北克的职业治疗师进行横断面调查。
在儿科领域，职业治疗师倾向于使用标准化工具来评估身体和神经能力。成人评估主要侧重于身体能力和工作效率。对于老年人，评估主要侧重于功能方面（身体能力、个人护理和居家安全）以及认知困难筛查。
职业治疗评估大多侧重于身体能力。为确保采用整体方法，评估实践中应纳入更多职业和环境要素。
