Clinical Reasoning Workbook - 1 views

  •  
    This site is a McMaster University workbook that outlines each type of reasoning,. It breaks down what you should do and ask your self in the clinical reasoning process. It may not be totally practically with practice as a clinical but i think as students in our fieldwork sites could make this part of their "homework" each night to develop these clinical reasoning skils.

What is Clinical Reasoning? - 1 views

  •  
    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.

Clinical Reasoning inı Occupational Therapy:ı An Integrative Reviewı - 0 views

    This article discusses three types of clinical reasoning often used with occupational therapy practitioners. These types include scientific, narrative, and pragmatic. The main questions brought up by the authors were what is clinical reasoning and how does it influence practice?, what can we do to increase clinical reasoning skills?, and do views of clinical reasoning work in the reality of practice?. Aspects that influence use of clinical reasoning included the therapists views of OT, therapists life knowledge, ability to carry out treatments, and interest in patients and profession. It is important to understand what types of clinical reasoning are being utilized in particular practice contexts in order to help with the creation of staff and self development models.

Clinical Reasoning in OT - 1 views

  •  
    This posting discusses clinical reasoning within occupational therapy by summarizing a chapter out of a book written by Willard and Spackman entitled Professional Reasoning in Practice. The writer of the blog explains that clinical reasoning within occupational therapy includes the entire process of planning, directing, performing, and reflecting on the various aspects of patient care. It was interesting to see how the writer goes explained clinical reasoning; stating that clinical reasoning is broken down into various cognitive processes. These various cognitive processes enable therapists to store information into categories and within a certain order so that when they come across similar situations later in their practice they can anticipate what to expect and how to handle the situation. The writer then defines the eight types of clinical reasoning (scientific, diagnostic, procedural, narrative, pragmatic, ethical, interactive, and conditional) and how they are utilized within the field of occupational therapy. Clinical reasoning is something that is very valuable within the field; however, it is something that takes time and experience to develop. Those who have experience working within the field of occupational therapy tend to utilize more of a conditional reasoning approach, as this approach is more of a blend of the various types of clinical reasoning and requires a higher skill set. Ultimately we should strive to develop conditional reasoning as practitioners in the field.

Clinical Reasoning in general terms - 1 views

  •  
    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.

Clinical Reasoning a Guide to Improving Teaching and Practice - 0 views

    This article discusses the process of clinical reasoning and the difficulties of teaching and/or learning this crucial skill. This document also presents a model for students to follow when attempting to develop solid clinical reasoning skills.
  •  
    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.

Clinical Reasoning Case Studies as Teaching Tools - 0 views

  •  
    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.

Clinical Reasoning: What is it and why should I care? - 1 views

  •  
    Now that we have had a chance to experience clinical reasoning and understand how important it is. I found this little PDF file that explains how each type of clinical reasoning goes into the OT process. For example, how procedural reasoning guides treatment however, interactive reasoning guides therapy. Its a really neat clean cut explanation of why it is important to touch on each type of reasoning during the OT process with each client.
  •  
    This article is by the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapy and it is a good refresher over clinical reasoning (especially the different types of clinical reasoning) and why it is so important to develop this skill and apply it in practice. Additionally, it provide some tips for students and for fieldwork educators in this area.

    This study investigated the validated a clinical reasoning tool to describe OT perspectives in the home modification process. This included the development of a personal factors guideline to aid OT practitioners' clinical reasoning in home modification interventions. Factors to consider range from course of diagnosis and patient's preference to compliance and resources. This article showed how holistic OT is because it looked at home modification based on all client factors/environment to guide clinical reasoning for interventions.
