    I came across the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists Code of Ethics in my search. The code of ethics begins with a preamble to define occupational therapy and beliefs occupational therapists have about their professional duties. They include beliefs on occupation, the person, the environment, overall health, and client centered practice. The code of ethics then outlines ethical expectations for members of the CAOT, and makes reference to the Canadian Occupational Therapy Practice Framework. This is interesting to compare to the American Occupational Therapy Association, and see where we can make improvements based off of what is presented by CAOT.

    I found this article on the British Association of Occupational Therapists and College of Occupational Therapists website. The post is to open up a discussion after Karen Middleton, Chief Health Professions Officer, challenged health care professionals and associations to have the Big Conversation on Professionalism. I think this is a nice challenge, and incentive for professional organizations/associations and all medical health care establishments to discuss professionalism and their expectations and standards from employees.

    The findings of this article showed that those with CHF reported significant reductions in participation in all four domains. The main domain was activity retention (leisure, IADLs and social). Results for depression, cognition, and participation showed that those with CHF have functioning problems and depressive symptoms were present. However, there was no correlation between memory and attention performance. This study was limited to the sample size because it was less than 30. It also stated few participants did not complete the study because of fatigue and scheduling issues, but it never stated how many dropped out. This may affect population validity of the study because it is unknown if there was mortality. Also, the 27 subjects used were all from the same hospital (convenient sample) and this may also pose a threat to population validity. The results of the study suggest that management of CHF should expand in focus from physical functioning and physically demanding activities to consider cognitive and psychological functioning in the context of all life situations. Occupational therapy can play a vital role in helping those with CHF and their psychosocial impairments (decreasing depression), while getting them back into the community and functioning in their everyday tasks, which may also reduce symptoms of depression. I used this article because the facility I'm at now admits a lot of cardiac patients and many have depressive symptoms as they are recovering from their cardiac impairments and returning to their everyday lives in the community.

    This 1991 AJOT article discussed clinical reasoning. The article stressed the importance of not allowing our clinical reasoning to biomechanical and biomedical focused. Rather, as occupational therapists, our clinical reasoning should focus on human world of motives, values, and beliefs.

    This article, published by AJOT in 1991, provides the reader with some insight into the basis of clinical reasoning, why clinical reasoning is important in one's profession, and how to apply clinical reasoning in one's professional career and an occupational therapy practitioner. This truly is a great article for us to read as we are currently developing clinical reasoning skills as level II fieldwork students.

    This document provides a broader definition of clinical reasoning that is associated and expected from occupational therapists. Due to the nature of our profession as being client-centered and a mix of artistic and scientific rationale, OT's are expected to provide clinical reasoning that expands beyond the medical model into a meaning-centered, interpretive model. The reason for this expanded clinical reasoning for OT's is that we are not just looking at an individual in terms of their disability, rather we look at an individual in a holistic manner.

    This article, written by an occupational therapy practitioner, is more of a call to action for occupational therapists to examine the American Occupational Therapy Association Code of Ethics and reflect upon whether their daily actions and attitudes reflect the Code of Ethics. The occupational therapist expresses that oftentimes occupational therapy practitioners associate upholding ethics with patient care. However, as this author pinpoints upholding ethics extends past patients, but also to students, colleagues, third-party payers, as well as the profession itself. For instance, the author identifies frustration with occupational therapists and the companies that employ them that refuse to take fieldwork students whether due to fear that productivity will suffer, they're too busy, or whatever reason. Regardless of the reason, the author states that an ethical practitioner will find a way to make it feasible because they understand they have a professional commitment to train students.

    This web resource outlines the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics and Ethics Standards, as published in 2010, by the American Occupational Therapy Association. The OT Code of Ethics is a document outlining principles to uphold to maintain high standards of professionalism within the field of occupational therapy when confronted with ethical issues. The American Occupational Therapy Association defined seven principles that occupational therapy practitioners must uphold. These seven principles are beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy and confidentiality, social justice, procedural justice, veracity, and fidelity. This web resource defines each of these seven principles as outlined in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy, and explains how occupational therapy practitioners can uphold these principles in practice.

    I found this ten-step process for resolving ethical issues in the school from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. I thought this was a really nice guide and one that can be used by OT's as we look to our Code of Ethics.

    This article is analyzing the knowledge and confidence of EBP in OT students. A convenience sample of occupational therapy students from a private university completed a survey designed to measure students' knowledge and confidence in EBP. The survey consisted of the Knowledge of Research Evidence Competencies (K-REC) and the Evidence-Based Practice Confidence (EPIC) scale, as well as demographic questions. The participants in this study were confident in their ability to implement certain components of the EBP reference model. They demonstrated the most confidence in asking patients about their needs, conducting a literature search, and determining if the evidence applies to their client's situation. The participants were least confident in their EBP skills associated with using statistical procedures and statistical tests to interpret study results.

Polypharmacy and falls in the middle age and elderly population - 0 views

    Clinical Reasoning: This article looks at the issue of polypharmacy in middle age and elderly adults. The researchers assessed the prevalence of falls the participants experienced versus the number and type of medications they were taking. They concluded fall risk is associated with polypharmacy, but only when at least one drug had a side effect/increased the risk of falling. I chose this article because the majority of my patients I have seen are on multiple medications and most have a history of falls. For example I had a patient today who came in with multiple falls and dizziness, which the doctors believe is due to the number of medications she is taking and they counteract with one another. I feel from a therapy perspective it is part of our job to tease out whether the falls could be due to multiple medications or if there is another reason for the falls. This is where fall prevention is also very important to ensure their safety.
