We investigated differences in observed performance of instrumental
activities of daily living (IADLs) and self-reported satisfaction with social
role performance between people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (a-MCI)
and age- and gender-matched control participants. METHOD: We measured observed
performance of 14 IADLs using the Independence, Safety, and Adequacy domains of
the Performance Assessment of Self-Care Skills (PASS) and the Patient-Reported
Outcomes Measurement Information Systems (PROMIS) to examine satisfaction with
social role performance. RESULTS: Total PASS scores were significantly lower in
participants with a-MCI (median = 40.6) than in control participants (median =
44.2; p = .006). Adequacy scores were also significantly lower. No significant
differences were found between groups on the PROMIS measures. CONCLUSION: IADL
differences between groups were related more to errors in adequacy than to safety
and independence. Occupational therapy practitioners can play a key role in the
diagnosis and treatment of subtle IADL deficits in people with MCI.
