Psychometric Properties of the Occupation-Based Practice Assessment.
Article in Hong Kong journal of occupational therapy : HKJOT, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background/ Objective: Occupation generates better health outcomes, yet practitioners are unaware of their use its use in practice. The profession needs a psychometrically strong measure of occupation in practice. This study aimed to measure the interrater reliability of the Occupation-Based Practice Assessment (OBPA) and reliability between observer and self-administration. Methods: The study took place in a 356-bed acute care teaching hospital in an urban midwestern U.S. city. Data collection captured all therapeutic interactions during full days of practice. This methodological design was used to establish the psychometric properties of the OBPA. Study participants included two volunteer full-time occupational therapists employed at least 6 months. Any therapists delivering group therapy or supervising students were not eligible to participate.The OBPA measures the use of occupation in practice and is grounded in the Dynamic Model of Occupation-Based Practice. The tool includes several scales to measure different aspects of practice. Preliminary research revealed excellent interrater reliability so researchers hypothesized favorable interrater reliability outcomes in this in-vivo study. Results: Fifty-four assessment interactions were measured yielding strong interrater reliability between observers at ICC = .843; Conclusions: The OBPA is psychometrically strong for use in self-assessment, professional development, program evaluation, academia, and scientific inquiry, all in support of promoting increased use of occupation in practice.
