Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the rehabilitation goals of inpatients with cancer. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) was used with 90 inpatients in a cancer rehabilitation centre to identify rehabilitation goals and their level of importance. These goals were divided into the occupational performance categories of self-care, productivity and leisure.

Results showed that 65% of goals were related to self-care, 20% to leisure and 15% to productivity. Self-care, leisure and productivity goals were attributed similar importance ratings by the study subjects, with average scores being 8.66, 8.21 and 8.81 respectively (on a scale of 1–10, with 10 being of highest importance).

The authors conclude that these findings have important implications for therapists and managers working in cancer rehabilitation who are responsible for the provision of a holistic, client-led service.
