New Leisure Activities After Stroke: A Mixed-Methods Survey of Stroke Survivors in Taiwan
Authors: Liao Yen-Pu , Wu Chinyu , Lee Chia-Yi 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
One-third of the survey respondents reported engaging in new leisure activities after stroke, as a response to lifestyle change. These new leisure activities represented a greater emphasis on physical, mental, and spiritual health, supported by family and friends. During client-centered goal-setting, OT practitioners may consider incorporating new leisure activities to promote health for stroke survivors.

Authors: Alwawi Dua’a , Heldstab Ashleigh , Dean Evan 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
Coping strategies are found to predict success in rehabilitation. Research is lacking in identifying the specific coping strategies used to adjust to sensory changes. This study seeks to understand how individuals handle sensory changes after stroke. Researchers used a qualitative descriptive method using semistructured interviews to collect data. Results from this study can be utilized to inform OTs about what strategies are being used by stroke survivors to cope with sensory changes.

Authors: Waldman-Levi Amiya , Finzi-Dottan Ricky , Cope Amber 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
Maternal caregiving, reflective functioning, and support during joint play were examined in an explanatory, sequential, mixed-methods study. Maternal caregiving predicated reflective functioning, which in turn predicted maternal support during joint play. Balancing of task-oriented and process-oriented behaviors framework explained dyadic synchrony observed during joint play. This study deepens our understanding of family relations and their effects on children’s emotional and social development.

Gaps Between Parent and Therapist Perspectives on Family-Centered Care as a Factor of Service Setting
Authors: Lachter Liat Gafni , AlSaaed Shaimaa , Ben-Sasson Ayelet 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
The purpose of this study was to evaluate gaps between parent and provider perceptions of the family-centeredness of services, and the contribution of the service setting (outpatient versus schools) to these gaps. Findings indicated significant gaps between parents and providers, and between practice settings, in all assessed domains. These gaps suggest areas of opportunity for OTs to enhance their practice in order to foster more effective partnerships with parents.

Authors: Marks Timothy , Everson Vanessa , Leighton Meaghan , Manor Shelby , Palomar Lionel , Rivas Guadalupe , Al-Heizan Muhammad , Edwards Dorothy Farrar 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
This study examined the association between total time to complete the WCPA and the number of cognitive strategies used and total errors on the test. Results suggest that more time taken on the WCPA may increase the number of cognitive strategies used, but it may not necessarily result in improved overall test performance. These findings support the importance of understanding factors that contribute to successful performance and interpretation of WCPA scores.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/27/20
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder. The Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) is the gold standard for quantifying the effects of PD. The COPM is a client-centered approach, better suited to understanding the impact of PD on client occupational performance. This study supports the use of the COPM as a means to identify challenges in occupational performance that are not otherwise identified through the UPDRS.

Authors: Cavaliere Catherine , Story Pamela , Such Joanna , Burke Aileen , Kendrick Kathryn 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the HSRT predicts student success. The data was analyzed using an ordinal logistic regression and a Spearman’s rho correlation coefficient. Statistical analyses revealed that the HSRT is not a valid predictor of student success, and there is also a weak relationship between the HSRT and student success. The HSRT can be further studied with other admission tools to determine what most accurately measures student success in a graduate OT program.

Social Support Mediates the Relationship Between Communication Abilities and Social Participation Post-Stroke Only for People With Aphasia (PWA)
Authors: Fritz Katrina , Connor Lisa Tabor , Nicholas Majorie 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Date Presented 03/28/20
This study examines relationships among self-perception of social support, communication, and social participation in PWA and people without aphasia (PWOA) poststroke. Results show that social support for PWA mitigates the negative impact of communication deficits on social participation. For PWOA, support facilitates social participation to a lesser degree. This indicates that OT practitioners should consider PWA’s social supports to facilitate reintegration into community living.
