Comparing group-based and one-to-one occupational therapy for improving daily living activities
Evaluating Group-based (ADAPT) Versus One-to-one (Usual) Occupational Therapy on Ability to Perform Activities of Daily Living (ADL) in People With Chronic Conditions (Go:OT Trial)
This study is testing if a group-based occupational therapy program can help people with chronic conditions improve their daily living activities just as well as traditional one-on-one therapy.

What this trial studies
This trial evaluates the effectiveness, processes, and cost-effectiveness of the ADAPT Program, a peer-exchange group-based occupational therapy intervention, compared to usual one-to-one occupational therapy for individuals with chronic conditions affecting their ability to perform daily living activities. The study involves a randomized controlled trial design with 130 participants who will be assigned to either the ADAPT Program or usual occupational therapy. The primary outcome will be measured using the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS) to assess changes in ADL ability. The trial aims to determine if the group-based approach is as effective as traditional methods while potentially offering additional benefits.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are individuals living at home with chronic conditions who experience difficulties in performing daily living activities.
Not a fit: Patients with acute needs for help with daily activities or significant cognitive deficits may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide a more cost-effective and equally effective approach to occupational therapy for patients with chronic conditions.
How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown initial evidence of the ADAPT Program's effectiveness, suggesting that this approach may hold promise for broader application.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: * ≥ one year since medical diagnosed with one or more chronic conditions. * Lives in own home. * Experience ADL task performance problems. * Show ADL motor ability measures \<1.50 logits on the AMPS ADL motor skill scale (indicate increased effort during ADL task performance). * Communicate independently and relevantly orally and in writing. * Willing and interested in attending occupational therapy interventions focused on improving ADL task performance. Exclusion criteria: * ADL process ability measures \<0.00 indicating that the person is unlikely to profit from educational programs focused on using adaptational strategies. * Personal ADL (PADL) problems with acute need for help. * Mental illness and/or other acute (\<3 months) conditions effecting ADL task performance significantly. * Significant communication barriers (significant cognitive deficits, -aphasia, -hearing loss, -dyslexia and/or -language barriers). * Known substance abuse.
