Occupational therapists can now use the Self-Efficacy Gauge to measure clients' confidence in their skills. This tool helps bridge the gap between clinical learning and real-world application for improved occupational performance.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy
  • Psychology
  • Self-efficacy measurement

Background:

  • Occupational therapists observe a gap between skills learned in therapy and their use in daily life.
  • Perceived self-efficacy is a key factor influencing this performance gap.
  • Current occupational therapy practice lacks integration of self-efficacy assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate the Self-Efficacy Gauge, a tool for occupational therapists.
  • To assess the reliability and validity of this new self-efficacy measure.
  • To facilitate the integration of self-efficacy assessment into clinical practice.

Main Methods:

  • A mailed survey with 126 participants was used for reliability and validity testing.
  • Examined test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and alternate form reliability.

  • Compared Self-Efficacy Gauge scores with actual performance and a hopelessness scale.

    • Main Results:

    • The Self-Efficacy Gauge demonstrated reasonable reliability for clinical samples.
    • Preliminary evidence supports the validity of the Self-Efficacy Gauge.
    • The instrument shows potential for assessing perceived self-efficacy in occupational performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The Self-Efficacy Gauge is a reliable tool for occupational therapists.
    • Further validity testing is needed due to the absence of a gold standard.
    • This measure can aid in understanding and addressing the performance gap in occupational therapy.
