Résumé : |
Objective To examine current use of descriptive labels for levels of cognitive impairment and types of memory to explore whether rehabilitation disciplines are now communicating more effectively. Design Survey of rehabilitation professionals. Setting Hospital rehabilitation programs. Participants Respondents (N=130) representing 8 facilities in 5 states completed surveys. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Responses to survey questions about severity and types of memory impairment were examined with the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine the impact of profession on ratings. Post hoc Mann-Whitney U test comparisons of the 2 professions with the most cognitive assessment experience, psychologists/neuropsychologists and speech-language pathologists, were conducted. Results Ratings of various deficit levels differed significantly by profession (mild: H=39.780, P<.000 moderate: h="43.309," p severe: but not by program location. in comparing psychologists and speech-language pathologists specifically we found a significant discrepancy ratings for percentile ranges associated with the terms mild moderate severe disagreement on meaning of descriptive memory was noted among rehabilitation professionals general large percentages respondents agreeing meanings terms.> Conclusions A significant lack of consensus persists regarding the understanding of common cognitive terminology. This miscommunication affects cognitive impairment descriptors (eg, mild, moderate, severe) and categorization of types of memory. Only half of rehabilitation professionals appear aware of this discrepancy, suggesting that education is necessary to bring greater awareness of the potential for miscommunication. |
