This study was part of a larger work to develop an authentic measure
consisting of code sets for self- or proxy-report of child participation. The aim
was to identify common everyday life situations of children and youth based on
measures of participation. METHOD: The study was descriptive in nature and
involved several stages: systematic search of literature to find articles
presenting measures for children and youth with disabilities, identifying
measures in selected articles, linking items in included measures to the ICF-CY,
analysing content in measures presented as performance and participation and
identifying aggregations of ICF-CY codes across these measures. RESULTS: A large
number of measures for children and youth with disabilities were identified but
only 12 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. A slight distinction in content and age
appropriateness appeared. Measures presented as performance covered all the
ICF-CY Activities and Participation chapters, whereas measures presented as
participation covered five of nine chapters. Three common everyday life
situations emerged from the measures: Moving around, Engagement in play and
Recreation and leisure. CONCLUSION: Only a small number of life situations for
children and youth emerged from items in selected measures, thus, other sources
are needed to identify more everyday life situations.
