Abstract
No studies could be found that investigated the use of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) with older adults with clinically significant depressive symptoms. This retrospective study utilized a sample of community-living older adults, ten with a clinically significant number of depressive symptoms (CDS) and a matched sample of persons who did not have a CDS. Older adults with CDS identified significantly more occupational performance concerns on the COPM. The top five concerns identified for participants with CDS were walking and/or transfers, travel, house cleaning tasks, self-care, and shopping. The results of this pilot study support the use of COPM with older adults with CDS.
