UNASSIGNED: Purpose This pilot partially randomised controlled trial compared the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of two promising interventions for @entity1 with @entity64 : (1) occupation-based strategy training using an adapted version of the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) approach; and (2) Computer-based EF training (COMPUTER training). Method @entity1 received 16  h of either CO-OP or COMPUTER training. We assessed feasibility and acceptability of each intervention, and change in intervention outcomes at baseline, post-intervention and one-month follow-up. Performance and satisfaction with performance in self-selected everyday life goals were measured by the @entity1 and the significant other-rated Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Other intervention outcomes included changes in @entity73 , participation in daily life and self-efficacy. Results Six @entity1 received CO-OP and five received COMPUTER training: one in each group discontinued the intervention for medical reasons unrelated to the intervention. The remaining nine @entity1 completed all 16 sessions. @entity1 expressed high levels of satisfaction with both interventions. Both treatment groups showed large improvements in self and significant other-rated performance and satisfaction with performance on their goals immediately post-intervention and at follow-up (CO-OP: effect sizes (ES)   =   1.6-3.5; COMPUTER: ES   =   0.9-4.0), with statistically significant within-group differences in CO-OP (p  <  0.05). The COMPUTER group also showed large improvements in some areas of @entity73 targeted by the computerised tasks (ES   =   0.9-1.6); the CO-OP group demonstrated large improvements in self-efficacy for performing everyday activities (ES   =   1.5). Conclusions Our findings provide preliminary evidence supporting the feasibility of using both CO-OP and COMPUTER training with @entity1 with @entity64 . Implications for Rehabilitation Computerised executive function training and occupation-based strategy training are feasible to deliver and acceptable to @entity1 with @entity64 . Preliminary evidence suggests that both interventions have a positive impact on real-world outcomes; and, that CO-OP might have a greater impact on improving self-efficacy for performing everyday activities.
