Ethics, occupational therapy and discharge - 1 views

  •  
    OT's play a significant role in the discharge process and are often exposed to ethically challenging decision-making. This paper examines the moral basis of discharge planning, relating it to the four fundamental bio-ethical principles of respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. Using a case study design, data was collected from 10 occupational therapists and two elder care patients using the critical incident approach, as part of a wider study to determine their perceptions of discharge planning and multidisciplinary teamwork. Direct observation of interaction within multidisciplinary teams was also undertaken. This study suggests that occupational therapists are unintentionally breaching a set of principles laid out in the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. It is suggested that occupational therapists should further utilize multidisciplinary teams as a place where they can speak about their ethical concerns so that they are able to be effective client centered practitioners.

Client-Centered Advocacy: Every Occupational Therapy Practitioner's Responsibility to U... - 0 views

  •  
    This article discusses the ethics behind OTs taking on an advocacy role, both as an advocate for their clients and also empowering clients to advocate for themselves. The OT code of ethics requires OTs to be advocates through the principles of beneficence, justice, and veracity. It is important that OTs understand laws and regulations and how to apply them to clients needs. Understanding this legal language is important as it can dictate who and how we treat. The incorporation of evidence based practice is also essential in advocacy efforts as it adds to credibility and can help strengthen a case for a client and their need for services.

    Atwal, A., & Caldwell, K. (2003). Ethics, occupational therapy and discharge planning: Four broken principles. Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, 50(4), 244-251. This article examines ethical dilemmas occupational therapists may face during discharge planning. Data was collected from ten occupational therapists to determine how well therapists are able to follow the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Researchers found that the therapists in this study unintentionally breached these four principles. The authors speculate that a push for speedy discharges leaves many therapists facing ethical dilemmas. The authors offer solutions for eliminating breaches of each of the four ethical principles listed above. They suggest that utilizing a multidisciplinary approach may offer a means of discussing ethical concerns so that practitioners are better able to provide ethical care.

    This article discusses the moral basis of discharge planning in terms of autonomy, beneficence, non-malificence and justice. The article discovered that OTs are unintentionally breaking these 4 principles and therefore their code of ethics and professional conduct. It gives quotes from clients about the session and is an interesting read on a dry subject, IMO.
