Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: Almost all interventions in occupational therapy require the active engagement of the patients. However, no scale has been specifically designed for assessing engagement in occupational therapy. The purposes of this study were to develop the occupational therapy engagement scale (OTES) and to examine its unidimensionality, reliability, and predictive validity. METHODS: ) was used to validate the predictive validity by examining the association between the Rasch scores of the OTES and patients' performance of activities of daily living (ADL). RESULTS: between the OTES and patients' ADL performance was 0.37. CONCLUSIONS: The results of Rasch analysis supported that the items of the OTES were unidimensional. The OTES had sufficient person reliability and predictive validity in patients with stoke.
