    This article explores the components of practice that make occupational therapy practitioners feel prepared to integrate research into their practice. According to this article, many practitioners in the field feel that they lack the necessary skills required to incorporate innovative research into their practice of occupational therapy. The authors of this article conducted a study to determine what characteristics and behaviors would foster the utilization of research. Eleven occupational therapy practitioners working in stroke rehabilitation participated in the study. The therapists completed a self-report and were interviewed by the authors. The researchers discovered that participants' clinical experience, engagement in continuing education, involvement in research activities and mentoring students all contributed to utilization of research into occupational therapy practice. The authors concluded that research utilization should be enhanced through means of professional development, which will guide practitioners in learning activities, provide opportunities to foster the behaviors discovered in the research study and enhance occupational therapists' capacity to incorporate research into their practice.

    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 discusses the various research opportunities available in area of adult stroke victims. Through the last 12 weeks, I have encountered a significant number of patients with CVA at the nursing home. I found the article extremely relevant to current occupational therapy practices due to the nature of treatments regarding CVA's. I think that it is critical for more research to be done, to help OT's better understand the nature of strokes and the best practices to treat them. AOTA developed a table to help researchers, students, and clinicians that summarizes various research opportunities on stroke patients. I believe this can be a helpful tool for OT's looking for innovative ideas and research to help apply to field work.

    In this letter to the editor in AJOT, an OT working in a mental health setting describes the difficulty of proving the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of OT in mental health. When asked to provide such evidence at her work place, even with the help of some of the prominent mental health OTs she was unable to find enough research. She makes a call for those interested in the mental health profession to begin to do more research in the area in order to protect OTs role in the setting.

    This article provides a summary by AOTA's Evidence-Based Practice Project of current evidence available in multiple areas which OT is involved with adults with TBI. By providing a summary of the current evidence available, OTs looking to be involved in research can use this information to create new research questions and see in which areas more evidence is needed to support OT. The areas summarized include arousal and alertness of people in a coma, motor function, cognitive impairment, visual-perceptual impairment, psychosocial/behavioral/emotional impairments, areas of occupation, and social participation.

    This is an interesting research opportunity for those of us who would love to work with older adults especially in the mental health arena. The AOTA Evidence Based Project has developed a table summarizing the research opportunities on adults with serious mental illness. The table provides an overview of the state of current available evidence on interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice and is based on the systematic reviews from AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines Series.Researchers, students, and clinicians can use this information in developing innovative research to answer important questions within the occupational therapy field.

    In this article the author discusses what is unique about evidence-based practice for occupational therapy practitioners and what the key issues of utilizing evidence in everyday practice are for both practitioners, as well as the entire field. According to the author evidence-based practice is about generating a research question and finding, appraising, and utilizing various research outlets in order to base clinical decisions and provide the best possible treatment to patients. As the author highlights, it is very important for occupational therapists to truly integrate research evidence with clinical expertise and client factors/preferences in order to provide effective, patient specific services. This push to utilize evidence-based practice is relatively new to occupational therapy and many occupational therapists struggle to devote their efforts to utilizing evidence in their practice. Some of the most common reasons include lack of time and skills to frame the clinical question, limited access to research databases, and difficulty integrating research information into clinical practice. While it may be a challenge it is important for us as occupational therapy practitioners to define what it is we do, while demonstrating that what we do is effective.

    This article discusses TBI as a widely variable diagnosis in terms of demographics, presentation, deficits, and interventions provided. The research base for TBI is broad ranging from epidemiological studies to qualitative studies. The author of this article believes that we can do more to help our patients than the evidence can ever support. She believes that OT needs to move from the evidence-based philosophy to the evidence-informed practice to best integrate OT clinical expertise and research findings and to best serve clients with TBI.

    This article looks at autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice in relation to the moral basis of discharge planning with patients. Researchers utilized a case study research design and direct observation. They concluded that often OT's are breaking these 4 principles and in turn our ethics and code of conduct. It suggests we determine how to fix these problems and implement ethics in the classroom more.

    Dirette, Rozich, and Viau (2009) state that because the code of ethics in occupational therapy says that therapists have to provide services on the basis of accurate and current information, occupational therapists must be concerned about the evidence-based research literature. This article talks about the importance of conducting good research and producing accurate results. This article also talks about the need to conduct more level 1 research with strong evidence and using multiple well-designed randomized trials. In conclusion the article found that the research published in AJOT from 1995 to 2005 did not increase according to the levels of evidence needed to support evidence-based practice.
