    This was a study that looked at more effective ways to train students in wheelchair transfers with more dependent patients. Typically, the curriculum allows for transfer practice using other peers. This study occurred in a high-technology laboratory with SimMan technology and mock hospital suite. The SimMan replicates what a dependent transfer patient would be like. The mock hospital suite simulated an acute care setting, complete with medical equipment, vital signs, lines and drains in place. Scenarios were developed for the students with the assistance of practicing occupational therapists. These scenarios included an acutely ill patient, a critical medical management event that occurred during bed-to-wheelchair transfer and occupational need. Students completed 66-88% of transfer items correctly and showed that simulated scenarios were more difficult that practitioners rated them. Student rated this simulation as an effective, more realistic teaching tool. Students attributed this kind of simulation as a positive contribution to curriculum and promoted greater procedural and clinical reasoning skills.

    Occupational therapists are required, from superiors, to reach functional outcomes in shorter durations of rehab and use EBP. Many clinicians do not use EBP due to lack of motivation, the fear that it will make the profession "cookie cutter", and or limited time or resources to gain information. The following steps can assist clinicians with EBP: 1. Formulate a clinical question 2. Locate the best evidence 3. Appraise the evidence for validity and applicability 4. Integrate the evidence with clinical expertise into practice 5. Evaluate the performance of the intervention.

Long-Term Care of the Aged: Ethical Dilemmas and Solutions - 0 views

    This article examines ethical issues in long-term care. One key component of solving ethical issues in long-term care settings is continually reexamining the beliefs and assumptions of the elderly in this setting and how occupational therapy services will affect them. One area that we must consider to make ethical decisions is the changes in medical technology and the demographics of the residents in these long-term care settings. The next point the article discusses is the concept of autonomy and how the current autonomy paradigm is poorly suited to guide occupational therapy's decisions regarding older adults in long-term care. The concepts of autonomy inadequately describe the realities of aging populations according to this article. The third concept is to create a new approach of autonomy by consulting the individual and taking into account the elderly's freedoms while they are residing in long-term care facilities. Another model that must be incorporated into developing ethical guidelines for long-term care settings is the partnership model, which states that family and important resources should be included in the daily living activities and critical health care decisions of the residents. Approaching occupational therapy with these concepts in mind will allow for better quality of care and increased ethical guidance.

    This is an awesome website. It is a blog ran by an occupational therapist who is centering the whole site around providing information, education, and resources for other OTs, clients, and parents using Apple devices. He/She gives suggestions on Apps to download for the child's deficit and other technology that might be useful!

    The MoCA also measures a wider range of abilities including executive functions, a higher level cognitive ability required for the implementation of goal-directed behavior and the process of creating and fulfilling a plan. For these reasons, the MoCA was chosen as the comparator assessment of cognition in this study. The cut off score for the MoCA has widely been research and inconclusive. The original cut off score was 26/30 for normal cognition, however many argue the score is too low. This study suggests a computerized battery (CBS- Cambridge Brain Sciences Battery) for patients scoring 23-26, that have a borderline cognitive impairment in order to classify them as impaired or unimpaired. Five tasks from the original 12 of the CBS were chosen to assess aspects of short-term memory, attention, reasoning, and planning. Results: Only two of the tasks were able to distinguish between impaired and unimpaired. Utilizing these tasks in conjunction with the MoCA provides more information regarding testers that fall in the "borderline" category 23-26. The older adults were accepting of the electronic technology.
