Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment Based on Parent-Provided Videos of Children with Mitochondrial Disorder: Action Design Research on Implementation Challenges.

Performing the Perceive, Recall, Plan and Perform (PRPP)-Assessment, using video material of everyday life, seems sensible to lower the patient burden, enhance ecological validity, and provide care at a distance. However, receipt of adequate video material is not self-evident and assessing videos can be challenging. Therefore, this study aims to optimize the process of gaining video material and to optimize the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos. An action design research method was used, focusing on implementation of the PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos within the care of children with a mitochondrial disorder or similar symptoms. Five cycles were conducted. To receive input, the cycles used videos of nine children performing activities, written feedback, and semi-structured interviews and focus groups comprising parents (n = 13), a teacher (n = 1), occupational therapists (n = 16), and other professionals (n = 2). This led to successful implementation of the PRPP-Assessment. General lessons were learned on (1) instructing parents; (2) handling video material; (3) PRPP-Assessment based on parent-provided videos; and (4) PRPP-Assessment of children (with limited functional abilities). Lessons learned should be implemented in practice and are incorporated into a manual to guide the implementation of video-based observations with PRPP-Assessment in practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
