Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) impacts occupational participation in adulthood, yet little is known about its multidimensional pattern (including objective and subjective dimensions). This study explores the participation patterns of adults with DCD.
Fifty-five adults with DCD aged 21-35 (51% women) completed the young adults' daily activities participation scale.
No consumer and community involvement were included in this study.
Imbalanced patterns were noted, with a high frequency of participation but low levels of pleasure and performance in motor-related activities such as driving, cooking, and household-chores. Reduced frequency and low levels of performance, meaning, and pleasure were observed in fitness and sports, health management, shopping, bureaucratic and financial tasks, and spiritual or volunteering activities. Medium-low performance and low pleasure reported in most of the activities examined, except for interpersonal relationships and community and social life that reported with the highest level of performance, meaning, and pleasure.
Individuals with DCD may face participation challenges during adulthood, highlighting their need for occupational therapy services.
This study looked at how developmental coordination disorder (DCD) affects young adults' participation in their daily lives. The findings show that many adults with DCD have trouble with tasks like driving, finding their way, doing household chores, and taking care of themselves. However, even though they take part in social and leisure activities less often, they still enjoy these activities. Understanding these challenges can help create better support services and strategies for them. For example, occupational therapy can help people develop skills to perform daily tasks and enhance their enjoyment levels and confidence in performing these activities, leading to improved wellbeing.
发育性协调障碍（DCD）会影响成年人的职业参与，但对其多维度模式（包括客观和主观维度）却知之甚少。本研究探讨了患有DCD的成年人的参与模式。
55名年龄在21至35岁之间的患有DCD的成年人（51%为女性）完成了青年成年人日常活动参与量表。
本研究未纳入消费者和社区参与。
发现了不平衡的模式，在驾驶、烹饪和家务等与运动相关的活动中，参与频率高，但愉悦感和表现水平低。在健身和运动、健康管理、购物、官僚和财务任务以及精神或志愿活动中，参与频率降低，表现、意义和愉悦感水平较低。在所考察的大多数活动中，报告的表现为中低水平且愉悦感较低，但人际关系以及社区和社会生活的表现、意义和愉悦感水平最高。
患有DCD的个体在成年期可能面临参与挑战，这突出了他们对职业治疗服务的需求。
本研究探讨了发育性协调障碍（DCD）如何影响年轻人的日常生活参与。研究结果表明，许多患有DCD的成年人在驾驶、找路、做家务和自我照顾等任务上存在困难。然而，尽管他们较少参与社交和休闲活动，但他们仍然享受这些活动。了解这些挑战有助于为他们创建更好的支持服务和策略。例如，职业治疗可以帮助人们培养执行日常任务的技能，并提高他们在执行这些活动中的愉悦感和信心，从而改善幸福感。
