Comparison and estimation of differences among academic years in the identification and categorization of each area and components of occupational performance. Results for the group of participants from the three universities (UV, UDC, and UCLM). AY: academic year. Percentages are based on the total number of participants in each academic year. S/S: symptoms/signs; PS: performance skills; IADL: instrumental activities of daily living; SP: social participation; RS: rest and sleep; PP: performance patterns. Statistically significant variables () are highlighted in italics.
