Let’s Get Organized : pilot study of an occupational therapy group intervention aimed to improve time management skills
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: Managing daily life activities requires time management and organizing skills. Individuals with cognitive disabilities commonly have poor ability to manage time, which often results in decreased ability to properly manage daily life activities. An intervention aimed to increase time management skills is "Let’s get organized" (LGO).Objective: The current pilot study was designed to explore the outcome of the LGO with regards to time management skills, executive functions and satisfaction with daily occupations among individuals with cognitive disabilities.Method: Persons with mental and neurodevelopmental disorder with decreased ability to manage time in daily life according to self-rated measures, were recruited by their local Occupational Therapist. All participants took part in LGO, which is a 10-week manual based group intervention with weekly meetings. Each session has a separate theme, with a common structure and goal to improve time management skills and to implement the use of a calendar in daily life. Measured outcomes were time management skills (Assessment of Time Management Skills), executive functioning (Weekly Calendar Planning Activity) and overall satisfaction with daily activities (Satisfaction with Daily Occupations).Results: In all 55 persons participated in the study. Preliminary results from a subgroup indicate significant improvements in time management skills, in aspects of executive functioning and in overall satisfaction with daily occupations.Conclusion: The LGO seems to be a promising intervention to improve time management skills and satisfaction with daily occupations in the short term. The used instruments appear to be sensitive to capture change from LGO.

- IMPORTANCE: There is a need for evidence-based occupational therapy interventions to enhance time management in people with time management difficulties.OBJECTIVE: To pilot test the first part of the Let's Get Organized (LGO) occupational therapy intervention in a Swedish context by exploring enhancements of time management skills, aspects of executive functioning, and satisfaction with daily occupations in people with time management difficulties because of neurodevelopmental or mental disorders.DESIGN: One-group pretest-posttest design with 3-mo follow-up.SETTING: Outpatient psychiatric and habilitation settings.PARTICIPANTS: Fifty-five people with confirmed or suspected mental or neurodevelopmental disorder and self-reported difficulties with time management in daily life.INTERVENTION: Swedish version of Let's Get Organized (LGO-S) Part 1, with structured training in the use of cognitive assistive techniques and strategies using trial-and-error learning strategies in 10 weekly group sessions of 1.5 hr.OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Time management, organization and planning, and emotional regulation were measured with the Swedish version of the Assessment of Time Management Skills (ATMS-S). Executive functioning was measured with the Swedish version of the Weekly Calendar Planning Activity, and satisfaction with daily occupations was assessed with the Satisfaction With Daily Occupations measure.RESULTS: Participants displayed significantly improved time management, organization and planning skills, and emotional regulation, as well as satisfaction with daily occupations. Aspects of executive functioning were partly improved. ATMS-S results were sustained at 3-mo follow-up.CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: LGO-S Part 1 is a promising intervention for improving time management skills and satisfaction with daily occupations and should be investigated further.WHAT THIS ARTICLE ADDS: This study shows that LGO-S Part 1 is feasible for use in psychiatric and habilitation outpatient services. The results are promising for improved time management skills, organization and planning skills, and satisfaction with daily occupations and need to be confirmed in further studies.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate to what extent time management skills are associated with general self-efficacy and parental sense of competence, and if there are any differences between individuals with and without cognitive disabilities in these aspects.Material and Methods: The study had a comparative cross-sectional design. Totally 86 individuals with cognitive disabilities (of whom 31 were parents), and 154 without disabilities (of whom 68 were parents) were included (N = 240). The Swedish versions of the Assessment of Time Management Skills (including time management, organisation & planning, and regulation of emotion subscales), General Self-Efficacy, and Parental Sense of Competence scale (including satisfaction, efficacy, and interest subscales) were used to collect data.Results: There were significant differences (p < .001) between individuals with and without cognitive disabilities in all three subscales of Assessment of Time Management Skills and in General Self-Efficacy. Overall, individuals with a cognitive disability scored lower than persons without cognitive disabilities. A significant difference was observed between parents in all three subscales of time management skills after controlling for age and education (p < .0005). Parents with cognitive disabilities, compared to parents without cognitive disability, scored significantly lower in all measured scales, except for the interest subscale. In parents with a cognitive disability, there was a significant correlation between all three subscales of Time Management Skills and satisfaction. Among parents without a cognitive disability there was a significant correlation between time management; and organisation & planning subscales; and efficacy, and between General Self-Efficacy and time management.Conclusions: Poor time management, planning and organisational skills, as well as a deficit in regulation of emotions may have a negative impact on general self-efficacy and parental sense of competence.

- Purpose: Sustainable development (SD) has been an internationally supported concept since the Brundtland report defined it as ‘development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ (WCED,1987). Since then, many definitions of SD have been explored (e.g. Kates et al 2005; Redclift, 2005) and a range of theoretical models has been applied. The three pillars model of sustainable development, balancing environmental, economic and social aspects of sustainable development, has been widely used in practice but more recently critiqued as a ‘weak model’ of sustainability (Dresner, 2002). Alternative models include strong sustainability, in which natural capital cannot always be exchanged for financial or other forms (Dietz and Neumayer, 2007), or wider framings such as “action into the meaning, making and maintenance of Life in the long term” (Ferraro et al., 2010). In this paper we ask what these theoretical models could bring to the concept and practice of golf.Method: Three theoretical models for sustainable development were applied to assess understandings of golf and practices of golf: ‘three pillars’, ‘strong sustainability’ and ‘integration of humans and nature’. Firstly, a literature search for peer reviewed literature on ‘golf and sustainable development / sustainability’ was undertaken using JSTOR and Web of Science. Secondly, a review of websites of major organizations and significant golf sector reports (including R&A, USGA, PGA, GEO, WGF) captured grey literature and practice recommendations. Thirdly, we engaged with the golf sector through attending and speaking at conferences, discussions with key informants and working with practitioners throughout a three year period. Finally, values and indicators of the theoretical models were mapped across ways in which golf was framed and practised and some practical recommendations derived.Analysis/Results: The peer reviewed literature identified focused primarily on golf and economic development or environmental management. Whilst the ‘three pillars’ model was explicitly mentioned in some golf sector mainstream sites, sustainability was often confined to golf course management. Some cases maintained a holistic focus on sustainable development, others embedded sustainability within areas of practice. There was little evidence of ‘strong sustainability’ in discourse or practice, and regional differences. Some excellent projects going beyond environmental management were identified. Engagement within the golf sector demonstrated wider framings of sustainability, with willingness to explore access, participation and management norms for financial, reputational and value based reasons.Conclusions: Advances in theoretical models of sustainable development have not yet had a significant impact on concepts and practices in the golf sector, although there are some encouraging examples such as supporting local deprived communities, enhancing access, diversification and event carbon accounting and procurement. Golf could benefit from a wider conceptual analysis, potentially leading to an improved role of golf in biodiversity conservation, resource (including carbon) management, physical activity and health, community development and economic outcomes. Practices to promote include local community support, multi-functionality and diversity of golf courses, access programs and rigorous sustainable golf course design and management across all world regions.Keywords: Sustainability, Sustainable Development, Theory and practiceReferencesDietz, S. & Neumayer, E. 2007.
