PHYS OCCUP THER GERIATR , 1999, vol. 17, n° 1, p. 55-63 Doc n°: 97177 Localisation : Documentation IRR Descripteurs : KB - ERGOTHERAPIE, MA - GERONTOLOGIE, HE5 - SATISFACTION DU PATIENT Recent literature in occupational therapy and nursing indicates that collaborative goal setting can lead to increased patient satisfaction, shorter inpatient stays, and better goal attainment (Neistadt, 1995). Therapist and patient collaboration on goal formulation, beliefs of their relevance, and how they are to be accomplished, are essential for better treatment outcomes. Questionnaires from a matched convenience sample of 10 registered occupational therapists and 10 occupational therapy patients were analyzed to determine if, and when, differenced occured in perceptions about the collaborative nature of the goal-setting process. The findings from this pilot study indicated that therapists were uniformly positive about the collaboration that occurred during goal setting, but their patients were more neutral. Patients were most positive about the process of collaboration, but less so about the substance of that collaboration. Perceptions about the collaborative nature of the goal-setting process were significantly discrepant for several topics including discussion of patient interests, purpose of activities chosen, and availability of assistance after discharge, with patients being significantly less positive about the collaboration.
