摘要 |
This
study investigated the effect of dual task performance of hand dexterity
tasks and the relationship to daily functioning in 40 people with chronic
schizophrenia and 35 healthy participants. Participants performed the Purdue
Pegboard Test, O’Connor Finger Dexterity Test, and the Serial Subtracting Seven
Task as the secondary task under
single- and dual-task conditions and completed the Activities of Daily Living
Rating Scale–III (ADLRS-III). The hand dexterity of all participants declined
from the single to the dual tasks, and the discrepancy between single- and
dual-task performance was significantly greater in the schizophrenia group
than in the control group. Significant condition and group effects were found
for both hand dexterity tests. People
with schizophrenia who took longer time in performing hand dexterity tasks
had significantly worse daily life function. Negative correlations were noted
between discrepancy of dual tasking and the ADLRS–III score in the
schizophrenic group. Deficits
in dual-task performance of hand dexterity is significant in people with
schizophrenia and is related to daily life performance. Occupational therapy
practitioners can consider using dual tasks as a therapeutic activity for
people with schizophrenia to promote functional abilities in real-world
environments. |
