Abstract

AIM : To assess out the effectiveness of Occupational Performance coaching on Mothers‘ Occupational Performance and satisfaction METHODS : 36 Mothers of Children with Disabilities were included in the control group(N=18) and experimental group(N=18). Canadian Occupational Performance scale, Parenting sense of Competence scale, Goal attainment scale was used before and after the Occupational Performance Coaching. Post test right after the intervention and one mpre post test 4 weeks after the completion of the intervention was done to assess the Occupational Performance, sense of Competence and Goal achievement of Mothers. Interviews using semi structured questions were conducted for Qualitative analysis of the Intervention. RESULTS : In the experimental group, COPM (both goals addressed and goals not addressed), there was a significant difference in the pretest and post test of the performance (p=0.000) and satisfaction (p=0.000) component of COPM. There was no significant difference in the control group. When goals addressed in the control and experiment groups were compared between groups, it showed significant difference in the post tests of both the groups in performance (u=0.001) and satisfaction(u=0.003) component of COPM. When Mother‘s improvement was compared with Children‘s improvement, it showed a positive moderate significant correlation. The maintenance phase showed statistically significant improvement when the post tests done after 10 weeks (with intervention) and then after 4 weeks (without intervention). The pre test and post test scores of the satisfaction component of Parenting Sense of Competence showed significant difference in the experiment group before and after OPC intervention. There was no significant difference in the control group. The Efficacy component of PSCS did not show significant difference in both control and experiment groups. The comparison of Parenting sense of Competence between the control and experiment group did not show significant difference in both the components. The Goal attainment scale within group comparison between the pre test and post test in the experiment group showed statistically significant improvement (p=0.000). CONCLUSION : The Occupational performance coaching improved Mothers‘ and Children‘s Occupational performance and Mother‘s sense of Competence. The more the improvement in Mother‘s performance, more is the improvement seen in Children‘s performance. Occupational Performance Coaching has a long term effect on both Mothers and Children performance. The Goal setting skills of Mothers improve through this Coaching.
