A Journey to Balance: Development and Validation of Individualized Life Balance Intervention for Depression

The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) is a client-centered assessment tool used to evaluate changes in the performance and satisfaction of an individual's perceived occupational performance problems over time. When occupational performance is difficult to quantify, the COPM serves as an outcome measure. Therapists conduct a semi-structured interview with the individual to identify their most important occupational performance problems, and then rate the importance, performance, and satisfaction of each problem on a scale of 1 to 10. Higher scores indicate greater importance, performance, and satisfaction. During reassessment, individuals re-rate these occupational performance problems. A change of 2 points or more between initial and subsequent scores is considered clinically significant.
