Occupational Performance Coaching for Mothers of Children with Disabilities in India
Background.:
Occupational Performance Coaching (OPC) aims to help mothers plan and manage theirs and their children's occupational performance.
Purpose.:
To assess the effectiveness of OPC in improving occupational performance and parenting competence of mothers of children with disabilities in an Indian context.
Method.:
Mixed method design was used. Thirty-six mothers were assigned to intervention or control groups. Occupational performance and parenting competence were measured at three time points. Semi-structured interviews were used.
Findings.:
OPC had significant effects on children's occupational performance (p < 0.001), mothers' occupational performance (p < 0.001), and self-competence (p = 0.003). There was also a significant difference between control and intervention groups in occupational performance (p = 0.001) and satisfaction (p = 0.003). Interviews revealed three themes: acceptance, self-learning, and challenges during OPC.
Implications.:
OPC is effective in improving the occupational performance and parenting competence of mothers of children with disabilities in varied cultural contexts.
