Measuring occupational performance and client priorities in the community: The COPM
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The primary aim of this study was to examine changes in clients' occupational performance and satisfaction with their performance within a community trust setting, using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). Given the rapid throughput of clients and the pressure of limited resources, the authors postulated that occupational therapy interventions were focusing on clients' self-care needs as a matter of priority for clients to be independent at home. Therefore, at a time when services are seeking to be increasingly client-focused, the authors' secondary aim was to explore whether self-care needs were also the clients' highest priorities. Fourteen occupational therapists and 62 clients took part in the study. The therapists used the COPM to assess the client; the clients completed the COPM at initial interview and at the end of the intervention. Inferential statistics were then used to ascertain any change over the intervention period. The findings showed a statistically significant change in clients' occupational performance and satisfaction with their performance, in all settings, following occupational therapy. There were notable differences in occupational performance goals between men and women, in that a higher percentage of self-care goals were identified by the men. Self-care goals were the most frequently cited goals in all of the settings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
