    This is a pdf that explains evidence based practice in general terms and how it applies to occupational therapy. This certainly would provide a good basis for us as we are currently applying what we learned in our coursework to our clinical experiences. In today's healthcare market, there truly is a demand for evidence-based practice to justify reimbursement.

    This resource defines evidence-based practice, why it is important within the healthcare arena, and the process of integrating evidence into everyday practice. According to Sackett et al. (1996), evidence-based practice is best defined as "the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients". Individuals often mistake evidence-based practice as utilizing results from studies to guide treatment. However, evidence-based practice is more of an integration between client expertise, best available research evidence, and the patients' preferences and therapy goals. Through the use of evidence-based practice occupational therapy practitioners can better meet the needs of their patients.

    This is a power point presentation by Sally Bennett, from the Division of Occupational Therapy School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at the University of Queensland Australia. The power point is an introduction to evidence-based practice in occupational therapy. The presentation provides a definition of evidence-based practice, why EBP is important, the process of EBP, how EBP has changed delivery of health care delivery, and why it is important to occupational therapy.

    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 an example of what one would use if searching for evidenced based practice methods. My current fieldwork experience is in a skilled nursing facility and we frequently use the e-stim for strengthening and pain. Therefore for an article on evidence based practice i decided to search for an evidence based article that would prove what we are doing with the e-stim machine is beneficial. The article is a literature review and seeks to gather the evidence for e-stim and muscle strengthening. The results say that theoretically the e-stim is a complimentary tool for muscle strengthening. However, the e-stim still has little evidence for muscle strengthening and does not show that it is any better than traditional strengthening methods.

    With the intention of synthesizing research on OT interventions used to promote social-emotional development in young children with or at risk for disabilities, Jane Case-Smith reviewed and organized 23 studies into 5 themes. These 5 themes include: 1) touch-based interventions to enhance calming and parent-infant bonding, 2) relationship-based interventions to promote positive caregiver-child interactions, 3) joint attention interventions, 4) naturalistic preschool interventions to promote peer-to-peer engagement, and 5) instruction-based interventions to teach children appropriate social behaviors. Touch-based interventions were supported through research with infants in the NICU and showed higher cognition at 12 months than the control group. Relationship-based interventions were supported through research with children with ASD, institutionalized children, and children who spent time in the NICU. Joint attention interventions were supported for use with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Peer-to-peer engagement interventions were supported with the use of computer activities, toys, etc. Instruction-based interventions demonstrated that specific instruction in socially appropriate behavior appears to have moderately positive effects on improving children's social competence.

    This study is of particular interest to me after completing my fieldwork in a school system. I had the chance to work with many students who presented with emotional disturbances. I never worked with students based solely on goals associated with these emotional disturbances, but observed and attempted to proved treatment for their emotional disturbances after first working toward their school based goals. Typically these disturbances presented themselves as depression, aggression, and irritability. It was heartbreaking to look around the school and see how many students were affected by some form of emotional disturbances. Unfortunately as a school OT I was only to focus on goals that would make the student more functional in school (such as handwriting) and never had the ability to write goals base on a student's emotions. I believe that there is a great need for occupational therapists to focus on writing goals to provide interventions to students with emotional disturbances. In my setting there were not enough OT's/COTA's to work with all of the students who had emotional disturbances because there were so many students who first required school based interventions. This study suggests that more evidence-based research is needed to help school therapists work with children with emotional disturbances. I hope that eventually there will be a place for OT's in this area.

    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.

    Lateral epicondylitis, also known as tennis elbow, is one of the most commonly treated diagnoses we treat in the hand clinic I am currently placed for my level II rotation. This article aims to look at treating these patients with evidence-based practice and the occupational adaptation model. The occupational adaptation model is a process of adaptively responding to occupational challenges, through internal adaptations and preparations for adaptations to future occupational challenges. As occupational therapists, this model allows us to find ways for patients to continue mastering their occupations in their own unique way. In hand therapy evaluations, for lateral epicondylitis, a major focus is discovering many biomechanical measurements such as ROM, pain, sensation, strength and components of functioning. This article tells us that we should also be incorporating the OA model and discovering the client's occupations and challenges associated with those. This allows us to incorporate some occupation-based activities into the patients' treatment plans. Hand therapists should be finding ways to incorporate the psychosocial aspect of occupational therapy with the biomechanical aspects. The author explains that studies have shown that patients receiving combination of therapeutic exercise with ADL activities demonstrated statistically significant improvements in all measured parameters (pinch strength, total active range of motion, opposition, etc,) compared to groups only receiving therapeutic exercises. There is a challenge in hand therapy to bridge the gap between mechanical expectations with the holistic, client centered care of occupational therapy. In conclusion, therapist must work to educate other practitioners and work toward a blend of occupation-based and biomechanical-based treatments when working with lateral epicondylitis patients and other hand therapy patients.
