Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a client‐centred, occupation‐based occupational therapy programme for individuals with psychiatric diagnoses. The study took place in a college campus.

A pre‐test/post‐test design was used. There were 38 participants which included college students and community members who desired to attend college, work and/or address life skill goals. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used as a pre‐ and post‐test measure. Goals were based on problems identified in the COPM, reflected academic, vocational, life skill, and leisure goals, and were systematically addressed weekly through activities developed by the participant and a graduate occupational therapy student who acted as a mentor. The Participant Overall Satisfaction Scale was completed by each participant. A case study was used to describe the programme in more depth.

The results support that the client‐centred, occupation‐based occupational therapy programme increased client scores on satisfaction and performance of occupational performance problems identified on the COPM. Further research is recommended to explore how client‐centred occupational therapy programmes can be effective in improving academic, vocational and life skill goals.
