Abstract | Introduction Methods Consumer involvement Findings Conclusion PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY This study aimed to measure (1) how often occupational therapists use the SMAF-R with patients in hospital, (2) how acceptable occupational therapists find the SMAF-R, and (3) whether the SMAF-R shows changes in patients' abilities during their hospital stay. Before the study, usual completion of the SMAF-R was measured, and it was found to be completed in less than 1% of patients. Strategies were introduced to improve SMAF-R completion over 12 months. After this, completion of the SMAF-R improved to between 9% and 38% in different hospital settings. Changes in SMAF-R scores showed that patients improved during their time in hospital. Most occupational therapists reported the SMAF-R was an acceptable measure, but less than half liked using it. The low completion rates suggested that either the SMAF-R was not fit for purpose in this setting or that more support is needed to increase completion. |
