This study compares the occupational role profile of a large sample of community-living persons without disabilities with the profile of a population of patients with psychosocial or physical disabilities and suggests areas of occupational therapy intervention.
The Role Checklist was used to compare the roles of 1,020 community-living persons without disabilities with the roles of 292 adults with physical or psychosocial disabilities. Specifically, community-living persons were matched to the entire patient group, a group of patients with psychosocial dysfunction, and a group of patients with physical dysfunction to compare the groups in terms of their past, present, and future role profiles and the value they assigned to those roles.
There were significant differences in the types of roles identified. In general, the patients identified involvement in fewer present roles than the community-living persons. Differences between the two groups also appeared in the identification of future roles and value of those roles.
Roles appear to be affected by disability, whether physical or psychosocial in nature. If role participation is seen as part of the occupational functioning of the person, occupational therapy needs to address this area.
本研究比较了大量无残疾的社区居住者的职业角色概况与心理社会或身体残疾患者群体的概况，并提出了职业治疗干预的领域。
使用角色清单比较了1020名无残疾的社区居住者与292名有身体或心理社会残疾的成年人的角色。具体而言，将社区居住者与整个患者群体、心理社会功能障碍患者群体和身体功能障碍患者群体进行匹配，以比较各群体在过去、现在和未来的角色概况以及他们赋予这些角色的价值。
所确定的角色类型存在显著差异。总体而言，患者所确定的当前角色参与度低于社区居住者。两组在未来角色的确定以及这些角色的价值方面也存在差异。
角色似乎受到残疾的影响，无论是身体残疾还是心理社会残疾。如果角色参与被视为个人职业功能的一部分，职业治疗就需要解决这一领域的问题。
