Official title
Development and Feasibility Evaluation of Canadian Occupational Performance Measure-Based Goal Setting Strategies for Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Multi-Phase Mixed-Methods Study
Overview
COPM-Based Goal Setting Strategies in the PICU
Interventions
- Other Standard physical and occupational therapy
Participants admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) will receive standard occupational therapy as part of routine clinical care. Interventions will be tailored to each patient's medical status and functional needs and may include activities of daily living (ADL) training, positioning, range of motion exercises, sensory stimulation, and caregiver education. No additional experimental treatment will be introduced for study purposes. The primary focus of the study is to evaluate patie
