Need direct link to article

Yes, this is a study about an intervention (mental practice e-stim). Make sure that you link to the entire article (ask Laura Vaughn to help you. Your link only takes me to the abstract and then I have to log into AOTA.

Active link must be posted by noon tomorrow for full credit

Yes!

Good one too - need direct link

Meets criteria, but would prefer that article was not related specifically to mental health (that is Sue's class...)

Error message "404 Page Not Found" - from the title, it sounds like this is a qualitative study where the authors simply asked persons with TBI to describe their experience. If so, that does not meet the criteria for the assignment.

Same comment - study meets assignment criteria, but has limited application to OT practice

Looks like a good research study, but has greater application to PT than OT

Borderline - although psychiatric illness is certainly related to neurology, I'd prefer you not choose an article that discusses the effectiveness of an intervention on psychiatric patients (Sue's course addresses that...) It is unclear whether or not OTs would be qualified to implement "neurocognitive remediation".

Topic is good, but this is not from a peer-reviewed source - it is a Master's thesis/capstone project written by students

Negative. This is a summary of interventions (i.e. like a meta-analysis). You might be able to find an appropriate article in the reference list of this one. You are looking for evidence about the effectiveness of a specific intervention that could be used by OT practitioners.

The authors are evaluating the effectiveness of a training package for therapists; the assignment asks you to identify an article that explores the effectiveness of an intervention that could be used by OT practitioners. This is "once removed" from the actual clients.

Meets the basic criteria. Sample is low; little ability to generalize findings.

The one with the most subjects would be better.

Sounds good.

This article describes an assessment measure; does not evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention that could be used by OT practitioners. Assessments measure effectiveness of interventions but are not the same as interventions.

Getting closer - this is a summary of evidence, but is not a singular study that evaluates the effectiveness of a particular intervention. You may be able to locate a suitable article by going through the reference list for this article.

This is not an article from a peer-reviewed journal. It is a paper published by AOTA. Contact Laura Vaughn, our embedded librarian if you are not sure what constitutes a peer reviewed journal.

Does not meet criteria for assignment. Must identify an article in a peer-reviewed journal that evaluates the effectiveness of a specific intervention (or that compares effectiveness of different interventions that may be used by OT practitioners. Keep searching.

Each student will share a link to an evidence-based, peer-reviewed journal article that discusses evidence in support of or against an intervention that could be used by OT practitioners in the treatment of persons who have neurological conditions. Use the tag feature to reference important topics/content in the article. The article that you post will be the article that you use as your source for the Peer-Reviewed Journal Article Summary assignment. Students may not post the same article.
