- The objective of this study was to psychometrically evaluate the Persian version of the Occupational Gaps Questionnaire (OGQ-P) and LiSat-11 checklist, and to describe occupational gaps after stroke and their relation to aspects of functioning and perceived life satisfaction. A total of 102 individuals who had experienced a stroke were assessed for their occupational gaps, aspects of functioning, and life satisfaction. Psychometric analyses of the Persian versions of the OGQ and LiSat-11 were completed and the measures were applied for using univariate and multivariate analyses. The results provided evidence of internal scale validity, person response validity, and sensitivity for the instruments. The participants perceived the most common occupational gaps in “helping and supporting others.” Furthermore, perceived physical function including activities of daily living ability, motor function, and perceived life satisfaction were the most influential variables for the prediction of occupational gaps. It is essential to address the occupations such as “helping and supporting others” that are important from an individual perspective but overlooked in rehabilitation. A combination of physical function, motor function, and life satisfaction can predict occupational gaps after stroke.

- This phenomenological study explored and described the lived experience of falls self-efficacy (i.e., perceived self-efficacy in avoiding a fall during basic activities of daily living) among six individuals with multiple sclerosis and its relationship to their overall volition and occupational lives. Participants were interviewed three times over a 3-month period. All interviews were analyzed using the Empirical, Phenomenological, Psychological method. One main theme (managing fall risk as a means of supporting activity) and six subthemes were reflected in participants' lived experiences: (1) understanding personal multiple sclerosis symptoms, abilities, and fall risk; (2) accepting one's changed capacity; (3) focusing on what you can control; (4) ongoing learning by doing; (5) vigilance while doing; and (6) taking personal responsibility to reduce fall risk. The findings show how falls self-efficacy operates as part of a larger volitional process and can be used to inform the development of fall prevention programs for individuals living with multiple sclerosis.
