Given the importance of the caregiver\u2019s perception about their own performance in the design of AT, this research examines the caregiver\u2019s profile through the COPM. A sample of 40 caregivers volunteered to participate in the study. A cluster analysis was carried out on the COPM scores. Two caregiver profiles were found in relation to the COPM measure, one with low scores on performance and satisfaction and another with high scores on both of these two variables. The main predictor was found to be the self-perception of performance. The structure was replicated through a hierarchical cluster analysis, where the role of caregivers was of interest. These results are relevant on both a theoretical and practical level.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22197500","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,10]],"date-time":"2022-10-10T05:12:21Z","timestamp":1665378741000},"page":"7500","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Caregivers\u2019 Profiles Based on the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure for the Adoption of Assistive Technologies"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0362-5423","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francesco Della","family":"Gatta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Mental Health and Sense Organs (NESMOS), Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Escuela de Doctorado, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46001 Valencia, Spain"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Fabrizi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Mental Health and Sense Organs (NESMOS), Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"given":"Franco","family":"Giubilei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Mental Health and Sense Organs (NESMOS), Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9807-052X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Dolores","family":"Grau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46100 Burjassot, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2867-9399","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carmen","family":"Moret-Tatay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience, Mental Health and Sense Organs (NESMOS), Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, 00185 Rome, Italy"},{"name":"Faculty of Psychology, Universidad Cat\u00f3lica de Valencia San Vicente M\u00e1rtir, 46100 Burjassot, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"\u201cI Feel Guilty\u201d.
