Valid measures of cognitive assessment with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are urgently needed: construct and concurrent validity of the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform Assessment (PRPP-A).

Purpose: Initial studies identified the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform Assessment (PRPP-A) as a cognitive assessment with potential for culturally safe use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples with neurocognitive impairments in the Northern Territory of Australia. This study examines construct and concurrent validity of the PRPP-A.

Methods: Data were collected from a medical record review.

Spirituality in occupational therapy practice: A scoping review with narrative synthesis.

Introduction: Spirituality is a fundamental aspect of human existence. Additionally, spirituality is acknowledged within many occupational therapy models of practice. Despite this, other health professions are dominant in published spirituality research and resources.

Exploring Occupational Therapists Use of the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform Assessment When Working With Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in the Northern Territory.

Objective: Explore perspectives of occupational therapists on the use of the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform Assessment (PRPP-A) to assess functional cognition when working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Setting: Health services in the Northern Territory.

Participants: Thirteen occupational therapists trained in the use of the PRPP-A and experienced in working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Addressing client spirituality in occupational therapy practice: A qualitative study.

Introduction: Aspects of spirituality are commonly brought up by clients during times of sickness, disability, and impending death. However, much of the research on how to address spirituality in Australian health care has been conducted by professionals outside of occupational therapy. In this context, this study aimed to examine how Australian occupational therapists address spirituality in their clinical practice.

How spirituality is understood in occupational therapy: A qualitative study.

Introduction: Since the inception of occupational therapy, spirituality has been a unique component of practice. However, much of the professional discourse on how to define spirituality has originated internationally. This study aimed to explore how Australian occupational therapists interpret and understand spirituality in their practice.

Spirituality in Australian Health Professional Practice: A Scoping Review and Qualitative Synthesis of Findings.

This study explores how spirituality is integrated into practice across the different Australian health professions. Utilising the Joanna Briggs Institute's (JBI) protocol, six databases were searched, and sixty-seven articles were finally included. To present the findings, a qualitative synthesis was used.

Using the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform Assessment of cognitive strategy use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples: Initial exploration of clinical utility.

Introduction: Culturally safe and meaningful cognitive assessment methods for use with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are scarce. Concerns are raised regarding the efficacy of existing methods in cross-cultural contexts. The Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP) Assessment offers a person-centred alternative whereby cognitive strategy application is examined during performance of culturally relevant everyday tasks.

Task and ecologically based assessment of upper-limb passive function before and after botulinum injections in adults with stroke using the Upper-Limb Performance Assessment: French cross-cultural adaptation and feasibility pilot study.

Purpose: To test feasibility of a French translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the Upper-Limb Performance Assessment (ULPA) for task and ecologically based assessment of individualized passive function of upper-limb (UL) performance in adults treated with botulinum toxin-A.

Materials And Methods: A case series with seven adults with stroke (29-74 years) for spastic hypertonia management with passive use objectives (hygiene or positioning) established through Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS). Scores on ULPA Task Performance Mastery (TPM) were obtained through clinical and home-based performances before and after treatment.

Evidence based practice and knowledge translation: A survey of Australian occupational therapy practice with clients experiencing neurocognitive impairments.

Introduction: The clinical practice patterns and use of research evidence by Australian occupational therapists working with clients experiencing neurocognitive impairments has not been surveyed for nearly 10 years. This survey aimed to evaluate the current status of occupational therapy practice and evidence use and provide recommendations for ongoing evidence translation.

Methods: An online survey of occupational therapists working in Australia was conducted over four months targeting registered clinicians working with adults experiencing neurocognitive impairments.

Contextual influences on employment of people with dual diagnosis: spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury.

Background/aim: Research into the paid employment of people with spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury is prevalent; however, little research has examined the factors that may support employment for adults with a concomitant spinal cord injury and traumatic brain injury (dual diagnosis). This study aimed to determine the level of paid employment reported by people with dual diagnosis and to explore contextual factors that supported paid employment.

Methods: This cross-sectional cohort study recruited 30 participants with dual diagnosis from a specialist spinal rehabilitation unit.

Assessment of productivity performance in men with HIV Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND).

Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to review what is known about return to productivity roles for people who have HIV/AIDS and HIV Associated Neurocognitive Disorder (HAND), to highlight gaps in knowledge and practice for assisting people with HAND to engage in productivity roles, to describe an occupational therapy assessment system that overcomes some of the limitations of current research and practice, and to demonstrate the clinical utility of this instrument for use with clients who have HAND.

Participants: The participant in this study is a man with HIV Associated Dementia (HAD), one sub-type of HAND.

Methods: The real-world impact of HAD on productivity role participation was assessed using the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP) System of Task Analysis, an ecological assessment method.
