Download or read book Participation in Leisure Activities Among Adolescents with Cerebral Palsy written by Denise Keiko Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cerebral Palsy (CP) is the most common cause of physical disabilities in children. It is a broad term that describes a set of conditions that is associated with major physical impairments and other developmental deficits and arises in the early stages of brain development. Children and youth with CP often experience limitations in everyday activities in different life situations.Participation in leisure activities is an important aspect of health, as described by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). Engagement in leisure activities is essential for the development of a series of crucial competencies for a healthy development. Recently, studies have found factors related to participation in children with physical disabilities. However, information is lacking with regards to participation of adolescents, particularly what types of leisure activities are preferred by this population and predictors of participation in different type of leisure activities. Understanding of factors associated with participation in leisure activities may contribute to the development of rehabilitation and community programs and policies.The primary objective of this study is to quantify the level (intensity and diversity) of participation in leisure activities of adolescents (12-19 years of age) with cerebral palsy (CP), and to estimate the potential influence of both intrinsic child characteristics and extrinsic environmental factors as determinants of leisure participation. The secondary objective of this study is to determine factors associated with preferences for specific leisure activities in this population of interest. A cross sectional design was used. A total of 185 adolescents (12-20 years old) completed the study. Participation was measured with the Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE) and preferences for activities was measured with the Preferences for Activities of Children (PAC). Results demonstrate that adolescents with CP participated in a variety of out-of-school leisure activities. Adolescents participated more in informal activities than formal activities. Adolescents engaged in a variety of recreational and social activities, but not in many self-improvement activities. Participation in skill-based activities was the least frequent type of activity done, but diversity and frequency of participation in physical activities was also limited.In terms of preferences for activities, social and physical activities were most preferred, and self-improvement activities were least preferred. Family factors, personal factors and functional abilities influenced leisure preferences. High preference for certain activities was not always associated with actual involvement in these activities. Models of determinants of intensity of participation in five leisure activity domains demonstrated that leisure is a multifaceted construct that appears to be associated with a variety of factors related to the adolescents' functional characteristics and attitudes, the family environment and socioeconomic status and other contextual factors such as school type. Aspects of the adolescent's mastery motivation and behavior were also associated with participation in different activity domains. The adolescent's perception of self in relation to competence in different life skills and physical appearance was also associated with participation in certain types of leisure activities. Rehabilitation interventions should consider adolescents' preferences and family dynamics to minimize barriers to leisure participation, such as low motivation or environmental obstacles, so as to promote engagement in leisure activities. Expanding the scope of rehabilitation interventions to support the creation of programs in the community and advocate for policies that may facilitate participation in a variety of activities is needed, to promote a healthy development and well-being for this at-risk population.
