ABSTRACT

Objective : The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the association between the scores of COPM which are rated by clients and those of AMPS that are rated by occupational therapists when measuring the changes in the quality of occupational performances. Methods : Seven children with developmental disabilities between 3 and 15 years of age from a local after-school program in Seosan City participated in a client-centered occupational therapy program for six months (2 sessions per week). Results : Statistically significant differences were found in score changes in all areas (p=.018 respectively) except for AMPS-M (p=.141) through Wilcoxon signed ranks test after client-centered occupational therapy program. Positive high correlations were found between AMPS-P and COPM-P (rs = .901), between AMPS-P and COPM-S (rs = .857) through Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Conclusion : The results of this pilot study suggest that both COPM and AMPS are valid and sensitive measurement tools in detecting qualitative and quantitative changes of occupational performance after client-centered occupational therapy program and these two essential occupation-based assessments work in harmony regardless of cultural difference in measuring occupational therapy outcome.
