  The OBQ consists of 11 items that are graded on a 4-point ordinal scale from 0-3; these items range from "completely" disagree to "completely" agree and are summed to a total score ranging between 0 and 33. A higher score implies more satisfaction with the amount and variation of occupations, i.e., a higher level of occupational balance. Used to capture the satisfaction with, and the variation in daily activities.

  The outcome measure is completed within 2 weeks before the intervention is initiated, within 2 weeks after the intervention is completed and 3 months after the intervention is completed.

Other Outcomes (6)

• The general self-efficacy scale (S-GSE)

  The outcome measure is completed within 2 weeks before the intervention is initiated, within 2 weeks after the intervention is completed and 3 months after the intervention is completed.

• A measure of strategies for social participation

  The outcome measure is completed within 2 weeks before the intervention is initiated, within 2 weeks after the intervention is completed and 3 months after the intervention is completed.
