Occupational therapy for people with Parkinson's disease: towards evidence-informed care

151713.pdf (Publisher’s version ) (Open Access)Parkinson’s disease progressively hampers daily activities and participation. As part of the multidisciplinary team, occupational therapists aim to enhance daily functioning of the person with Parkinson’s disease by strengthening the person’s capacity in activity performance and participation, and by adapting daily routines or the environmental context. Solutions are sought in partnership with the person with Parkinson’s and his or her caregiver.
However, worldwide there was a lack of evidence for occupational therapy in Parkinson’s disease.
This thesis presents a systematic evaluation of an individualized and home-based occupational therapy intervention for people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers (the OTiP intervention). First we explored the intervention and study design in a feasibility study. Subsequently, we tested efficacy and cost-effectiveness of the OTiP intervention compared to usual care (no occupational therapy). Alongside the trial we performed a process evaluation of the intervention, covering intervention delivery and experiences.
The main randomized controlled trial showed that the intervention was effective in improving perceived daily functioning of Parkinson’s patients at 3 months and at 6 months follow-up. In the economic evaluation no significant differences in total costs were found between the intervention and control groups. However, institutional health care costs were significantly lower for the intervention group. Finally, the process evaluation demonstrated the complexity of interacting factors affecting treatment delivery and benefits of the intervention.
The results of the research provide insights for further improving individualized healthcare for people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers.Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen, 11 februari 2016Promotores : Nijhuis-van der Sanden, M.W.G., Bloem, B.R. Co-promotores : Graff, M.J.L., Munneke, M
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
