    As individuals age, communication often times becomes more difficult due to loss of hearing and eye sight. This PDF document provides information in a classroom format, with learning objectives and simple follow-up questions, to help students and clinicians alike to better understand the psychosocial needs of older adults. The document discusses how our views on aging also impact the patient that we are encountering on a daily basis. It is our task to provide the resources needed to these individuals to gain satisfaction and a sense of wellbeing. Lastly, the document provides ideas and information of alternate ways of thinking, communicating, as well as myths both positive and negative to better assist us in our learning process.

    This PDF document was part of a training course provided by Kansas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. This particular document outlines various psychosocial needs of the elderly, and various strategies health care professionals can utilize to help provide more person-centered care. Psychosocial needs/issues can arise as a result of the many changes that can occur during older adulthood. This article outlines seven changes that frequently occur in older adulthood that can present potential issues when individuals do not adjust to the changes. For instance, family changes occur as parents who used to care for their children are now being cared for by their children. Individuals may face retirement, and no longer have a sense of who they are without a job title. Older adults may experience an awareness of their mortality as loved ones die and their health declines. Individuals may lose their spouse and companion. Fear of loss of independence may set in as persons experience a decline in health and their physical abilities. Poor adjustment to changes in income after retirement can trigger psychosocial issues. Finally, loneliness may occur as children become busy, older adults do not drive, and spouses and friends die. All of these various factors can create psychosocial needs within a person's life. This article does a great job at not only defining why psychosocial issues may be present within this population, but also provides strategies to help older adults find joy in their lives again and help address their psychosocial needs. For instance, the article focuses on building on lifelong interests and offering new activities that an individual can engage in for pleasure.

    Alberta College of Occupational Therapists. (2009). The role of occupational therapy in psychosocial interventions.1-6 This is a helpful resource created by the Alberta College of Occupational Therapists to help explain the role of occupational therapy in psychosocial interventions. The resource states that psychosocial interventions are within the scope of practice for occupational therapists and it essentially lays out an in-depth explanation of psychosocial needs, interventions and how they are applied within occupational therapy. The resource defines psychosocial and makes recommendations for occupational therapists in their application of these types of interventions. There is a background provided as well as different assessment and intervention approaches that can be used in regard to psychosocial intervention. This area really focuses on the psychosocial needs of clients and how therapists can assist individuals to develop and maintain function where they need to. Intervention plans consider the demands of activities (cognitive, physical, functional or relational) and individuals' physical and emotional abilities to participate. The plans also reflect the individuals' personal needs and preferences, spirituality, cultural context, signs and symptoms, risk factors, and capabilities (emotional, affective, cognitive and physical).

    This article discusses psychosocial health in the geriatric population. It talks about why psychosocial health is important and how clinicians who are going to be working closely with the geriatric population need to be prepared to address both physical and psychosocial concerns.
  • meganthompson on 09 Aug 14
     
    This article defines various aspects of emotional and social problems that may be present within older adults. These psychosocial issues are not only prevalent within the geriatric population but are also associated with higher morbidity rates and can drastically influence the progression of disease, daily functioning, and mortality. The article defines some of the repercussions that may occur when older adults are under psychosocial stress. Thus it is important as occupational therapy practitioners to pinpoint and address these needs early in order to help older adults, and anyone for that matter, achieve psychosocial health, as decreased psychosocial wellbeing can greatly influence overall health and quality of life.

    Ikiugu, M. N., & Ciaravino, E. A. (2007). Psychosocial conceptual practice models in occupational therapy: Building adaptive capability. Elsevier Health Sciences. This is a link to a free PDF of an entire textbook about psychosocial practice models in occupational therapy. The book is divided into five parts. The first section covers background information about occupational therapy, including the historical origins of the profession as well as paradigm shifts that have occurred throughout the history of the profession. The second section covers conceptual foundations of psychosocial occupational therapy, including a discussion about how the complexity/chaos theoretical framework serves as a basis for occupational therapy practice. The third section of the book discusses general practice considerations, including client evaluation, the therapeutic relationship, use of groups, clinical reasoning, cultural considerations, and ethical decision making. The fourth section of the book covers specific psychosocial interventions. The fifth section of the book discusses the application of occupational therapy across the continuum of care, ranging from consideration of age and developmental stages to application of psychosocial occupational therapy principles in the community. Although I haven't read this textbook in it's entirety, I have found the case studies very useful when addressing psychosocial needs of clients. I highly recommend that everyone save this PDF textbook for future reference.

    According to this author, occupational therapy practitioners lack the appropriate knowledge and education concerning how to address psychosocial needs. The author states that two of the most common complaints occupational therapy practitioners have is motivation and compliance issues with patients, which is directly linked to therapeutic use of self, which is fundamental to psychosocial skills. Having training in psychosocial services is one of the biggest differences that separate occupational therapists from physical therapists. The author highlights that without adequate knowledge in addressing psychosocial needs occupational therapy practitioners cannot effectively treat patients from a holistic standpoint.

    This article discusses the diverse psychosocial needs of individuals in a long term care setting. Overall quality of life is highly dependent on psychosocial health. Occupational therapists need to be aware of this potential inhibiting factor and be prepared to address it effectively in order to achieve the highest performance from their clients.

    This article highlights the gap in current literature regarding the effectiveness of addressing psychosocial needs to improve quality of life. Within the last decade there has been an increased focus on improving quality of life and psychosocial wellbeing for individuals residing within long-term care settings. As upcoming occupational therapists, it is important for us to understand that quality of life is multifaceted and can include physical health, emotional health, social function, and self-worth. With the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services initiative focused on providing more holistic care it will be imperative that occupational therapy practitioners help close the gap between literature and current practice.

    This article from AOTA discusses the role of OT in palliative care and relates to the psychosocial needs of clients in this area. It examines the occupational therapy approach in meaningful occupations as holistic and client-centered which "fosters a sense of independence and self-efficacy amidst the challenges of living with debilitating symptoms. The ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADL) is an important goal for patients with life threatening illness, and also has implications for work, social life, relationships, and family and home structure." The article provides examples of intervention for clients in palliative care including, ADLs, IADLs, rest and sleep, play, leisure, social participation, and interpersonal. I think the interpersonal, leisure, and social participation aspects of OT in palliative care going along with clients psychosocial needs. Engaging clients in discussion, coping strategies, and encouraging communication among family members are essential roles of an OT in palliative care.

    This article was located on AOTA's website. It is about the role of occupational therapy in palliative care. The article defines palliative care, occupational therapy, and how the two are connective. The areas of occupation are outlined, and the role of OT in these occupations. The author discusses the importance in not only providing physical comfort to clients in delivering palliative care, but providing psychosocial comfort as well. The article highlights meeting psychosocial and emotional needs of clients as well as families of clients and their caregivers.

    This article looked at 1) What psychosocial concerns do students identify? (2) Did student responses indicate academic preparation to respond to the concerns? (3) In what ways did the students describe therapeutic use of self? I think our psychosocial course we had prepared us well in order to address the psychosocial needs of our patients.
