Brief Summary

This concerns the participation of individuals experiencing homelessness, as a disadvantaged group, in meaningful and purposeful occupations, evaluated within the framework of occupational justice. Homeless individuals face numerous social and economic barriers that impact their full participation in societal occupations. However, since survival becomes the primary goal for homeless individuals, meaningful occupations often revolve around surviving on the streets. The aim is to identify problems and constraints to participation in daily life activities so that their participation can be enhanced.

• Canadian Occupational Performance Measure

  Measures Occupational Performance. Self-care, productivity, and leisure constitute three sections. In the initial stage of evaluation, daily life activities identified by the individual are assessed in order of importance on a scale of 1 to 10 (1: not important at all, 10: very important). In the next stage, the individual selects the five most important activities for themselves and is asked to determine performance and satisfaction scores for each activity using a Likert scale from 1 to 10 (1: very poor performance / very dissatisfied, 10: very good performance / very satisfied). The obtained performance and satisfaction scores are summed and divided by the number of activities identified as important by the individual to obtain the performance and satisfaction scores.
