Analysis

The Occupational Performance History Interview (OPHI) is an assessment tool used to collect detailed information about an individual’s occupational life and performance. Version 2.1 is an updated format of the tool that includes improvements and revisions to better assess occupational performance and its relationship to daily life.

Objective

The main objective of the OPHI is to understand how occupational activities, life experiences, and personal circumstances affect an individual’s occupational performance and overall well-being.

Scoring

The interviewer asks the participant to describe and reflect on their occupational experiences, personal perceptions, and the impact of activities on their life. The results of the interview are used to better understand the individual’s needs and to design interventions aimed at improving their occupational performance and quality of life.
