Abstract

Objective: This study aimed at finding the effects of computer-based cognitive rehabilitation therapy oroccupation-based cognitive rehabilitation therapy in terms of the occupation performance based on a systematicreview and meta-analysis found in Korean research. Methods: For this purpose, Korean studies conducted on subjects undergoing cognitive rehabilitation therapy wereresearched. A total of 12 studies were included in this meta-analysis. All studies included addressed cognitiverehabilitation therapy by comparing computer-based and occupation-based approaches, and were publishedbetween 2010-2019. We used the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3.0 program to analyze the data. Results: Using a fixed effect analysis, the effect size for the effectiveness of a computer-based cognitiverehabilitation therapy is medium(d = .542)(p < 0.05). However, the effect size for the effectiveness ofoccupation-based cognitive rehabilitation therapy is nearly large(d = .768)(p < 0.05). Conclusion: Computer-based cognitive rehabilitation therapy and occupation-based cognitive rehabilitation therapywere both shown to have a positive possibility for improving occupational performance. However, further researchis needed to ground the evidence and support the clinical use of goal setting for occupational therapists.
