    Performance Challenges for Children and Adolescents With Difficulty Processing and Integrating Sensory Information: A Systematic Review. American Journal of Occupational Therapy, May/June 2010, Vol. 64, 430-442. doi:10.5014/ajot.2010.09073 This article reviews current literature that focuses on children who have sensory processing and integration difficulties. This research focuses on how these sensory processing and integration difficulties affect the child's functional performance in their daily occupations. After the review of the literature, it is evident that children with these difficulties do experience deficits in their functional performance during daily occupations.

    This PDF document serves as an instructor's resource to clinical reasoning, why it is important, as well as the process to implement clinical reasoning into practice. The resource was written for nurses but can apply to occupational therapists as well. According to the authors, clinical reasoning describes the process by which occupational therapy practitioners collect cues, process information, come to an understanding concerning a patient's problem/situation, develop a plan and implement interventions, evaluate the outcomes, and lastly reflect and learn from the experience. Within healthcare, clinical reasoning is vital because those with effective clinical reasoning skills are better able to detect impending deterioration in patients and are also able to pinpoint what is impacting their ability to function at their prior level. This two skills enable therapists to provide more effective treatment and often they receive better functional outcomes from their patients. The clinical reasoning cycle outlined in this resource begins by considering the patient and their situation. The occupational therapist must then collect cues/information from the patient, their family, and the environment itself. The therapist must then process the information, identify the problems, establish therapy goals, take action through treatment intervention, and evaluate treatment outcomes. The final step includes reflecting on the process and learning from any mistakes or misconceptions in order to grow and mold into a more experienced clinician.

    This article outlines the process of evidence-based practice as a means for informing the clinical decisions made by OTs. A framework for EBP is presented. The framework presents EBP as a process that follows a cycle stemming form clinical decisions that need to be made in all stages of the OT treatment process. The framework presented in this paper is offered as a means of helping clinicians move from paper to practice.

    This blog is something that all clinicians and students need to read, think about, and discuss with others. The author discusses how she was taught a series of problem solving steps during her education and how they have caused her to become like many other therapists by jumping to solutions before knowing the real problem. Therefore, the therapists discusses all the things she has learned on her own through her various classes that she examines when screening/assessing a patient in order to determine the appropriate problem in order to generate an effective solution.

    This posting describes an occupational therapists evolution of clinical reasoning skills as she developed as a practitioner. As an entry-level practitioner she followed the "problem solving process" she was taught in school. This process includes identifying the problems, identifying potential solutions, choosing one identified solution, implementing the solution, reviewing the satisfactoriness of the solution, and if unsatisfied completing the process over and over until a satisfactory solution is met. However, she explains that she quickly realized that too often we as occupational therapy practitioners jump in with various solutions before truly identifying the root of the problem. The author highlights numerous assumptions that can be made as to why we want to jump the gun, so to speak. Some of the top reasons mentioned include the patient lacks insight as to the root of the problem and may identify contributory problems and not the true source, there is no specific step to properly examine the source of the problem, and lastly we often view an individual's needs in terms of deficits rather than examining interactions between the individual concerning values and daily choices and their impact on the environment. The author concludes by providing guidance to upcoming practitioners so that they may not make the same mistakes she previously did. She explains that during the evaluation process she is looking not only at the client and what they define as problems, but also looking at strengths, possible explanations, and areas that can be explored in more detail in order to develop a stronger hypothesis as to the root of the problem. Otherwise she risks applying a solution that doesn't solve the problem, creates other problems, and/or prevents uncovering of deeper areas of concern that are impacting the individual's life.

    This article highlights the increased pressure placed on occupational therapists to utilize evidence-based practice when working with patients. The main purpose of this article is to provide occupational therapy practitioners with the knowledge and skill sets to utilize evidence to support their treatment and provide the best possible care to their patients. According to the authors, evidence-based practice requires occupational therapy practitioners to synthesize their clinical expertise, with the best evidence available to them through systematic review, as well as considering their patients' values and preferences. This article presents a framework that occupational therapy practitioners can utilize in order to create a more evidence-based practice. The first step includes asking clinical questions and then searching the literature in order to discover answers to the question. When gathering research information the occupational therapists must then place the research in hierarchies, deciphering what studies are more reliable and valid and what studies will provide better support to answer your clinical questions. This part of the process includes critically appraising the research to decide which studies are strongest and have the most sound evidence to support the clinical question. Throughout the entire process it is important for the therapist to utilize their clinical judgment in order to make the best decisions, as evidence-based practice requires a collaboration between research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences.

    Bennett, S., & Bennett, J. (2000). The process of evidence-based practice in occupational therapy: informing clinical decisions. Australian Therapy Journal. 47, 171-180 This is a very helpful article from the Australian Therapy Journal that describes the process of evidence-based practice in occupational therapy. It emphasizes the importance that our profession now has placed on building our foundation in evidence-based practice and how we must have "sound evidence" to back up our treatments and interventions. The article discusses the framework to use with evidence-based practice, clinical questions to ask in research and the types of evidence to focus on at this point in time for our profession. This is a very valuable resource for newcomers to the profession as well as individuals who graduated in the past without the research component who may be interested in research at this point in time. Bennett and Bennett (2000) walk the reader through how to search for evidence based practice articles and then how to critically appraise them. It addresses the clinical importance and validity and how to know when you have a good study. Finally, it helps you to gauge how to know when you can use the evidence for individual clinical decisions.

    This article is from the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. I felt that it went along with our discussion about becoming fieldwork educators in the future. This study researches the effectiveness of case studies that influence clinical reasoning vs, typical educational case studies. This study goes into depth about clinical reasoning and how it influences educational experiences of students. The research participants, OT students, were asked to complete intervention plans based on client needs and in response to both the medical model of clinical reasoning and paper case study educational methods of learning. Information was qualitatively reviewed to analyze the intervention plans and videotaped discussions were used to guide clinical reasoning process/learning experience. The results showed that clinical reasoning case studies, compared to traditional case studies, promoted three main themes including increased quality of intervention plans, participant confidence levels in treatment plans, and enhanced understanding of the clinical reasoning process. This study is important for FEs and educators to increase clinical reasoning process of students as well as interventions for clients.

Ethical Decision-making in OT and PT - 1 views

    This article examines the longitudinal effects that a specific OT and PT program within a specific university affect ethical decision-making in their students. The study examined two classes of students and administered the Defining Issues Test (DIT) which according to the article is suppose to be a fairly valid measure. The test was administered on the first day of class and then in the final semester of the students coursework. The results found that the formation of ethics can be a difficult process. The study states that age is a huge factor in this process. Students over 30 years old appear to have formed and be set in their own ethical decision making process. Also, the study found that with at least this program, the students were not provided with enough coursework and instruction in ethical decision-making. The authors suggest that programs provide three to twelve weeks of instruction on ethics as opposed to the typical intermittent instruction throughout coursework. Overall, I found this to be interesting to consider. Overall, I feel that the program is set-up really well. However, I must admit that I would be curious if we had a course that was specifically aimed at ethics. Perhaps this will occur when the program moves to a doctorate degree.

    This article relates substance abuse with sensory processing disorders. Participants reported on the following anger behaviours: verbal expression, physical expression, escape, substance use, suppression, non-verbal expression, and calming strategies. The article recommended that occupational therapists should consider evaluating and the sensory processing of their adult clients with problematic anger and/or substance abuse difficulties in order to help with behavior problems. Interesting! Something I had not thought about prior to this article.

    This article outlines the process of clinical reasoning and provides a framework for clinicians to utilize when attempting to teach clinical reasoning to students. This article was written with a focus on teaching junior doctors how to develop stronger clinical reasoning skills, but the same is applicable to occupational therapy students. Clinicians often know clinical reasoning when they see it but have a difficult time articulating and teaching it to their students. Clinical reasoning requires an individual to integrate and apply a variety of knowledge, weigh the presented evidence, critically think about all facets of the evidence, and finally to reflect upon the process utilized to arrive at the decision. Clinical reasoning encourages personal reflection and experience, which is why it is so difficult to teach to new grads/students that have little to no experience.
