Resumen
ENGELBRECHT, LH; CASTELEIJN, JMF y UYS, K. Could health care workers determine the occupational performance priorities of people with disability living in a developing community?. S. Afr. j. occup. ther. [online]. 2008, vol.38, n.2, pp.8-14. ISSN 2310-3833.
The client-centred approach may be best suited to determine the occupational performance priorities of a developing community, but occasionally the health care worker has to anticipate the occupational performance priorities of an individual in order to render effective services. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used to determine the occupational performance priorities of a developing community from the perspective of the People with Disability residing in that community as well as from the perspective of the health care workers responsible for their care. After their responses were coded according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), the data obtained from both groups were ranked and compared. The results indicated that although both groups of participants proposed similar priorities, some variations in the ranking existed. Valuable insight into the occupational performance priorities of the people with physical disabilities in a developing community was obtained
