    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.

    The aim of this qualitative study was to describe what characterizes the therapeutic strategies used by occupational therapists during self-care training.Twelve occupational therapists working with clients who had had a stroke (n=6) or spinal cord injury (n=6) were interviewed and asked to tell a therapeutic story focusing on the self-care training process of one client. Data were transcribed and analyzed using the Empirical, Phenomenological, Psychological (EPP) method, a qualitative method. Findings showed that the occupational therapists' strategies focused primarily on how to create a relationship built on trust with their clients, how to find the right way to motivate clients, how to support the setting of goals, and how to provide enabling occupational experience and adjust training to the needs of the client, rather than focusing on teaching clients how to use technical and compensatory strategies.One conclusion from this study is that occupational therapists could, through understanding the individual's unique situation, vary their strategies and adapt themselves to meeting clients' experiences and needs during self-care training.

    This study compared the perceptions of occupational therapists and their clients regarding their actual level of involvement in the process of client-centered practice. The occupational therapists claimed to use client-centered practice in their daily services; however, their clients had mixed perceptions about client-centered practice in their daily care and all responded that they were unaware of this approach.

    I thought this was a great article relating to the psychosocial needs of clients. Working in an SCI unit, a lot of our clients have mobility issues and quite a few of them have service dogs. In reading this article, it discusses how social participation for people with disabilities is an important factor for OT's to consider. This research helps to demonstrate that having a service dog helps clients to increase leisure activities and community participation. It also found that the use of service dogs, allow people to participate more in meaningful occupations.

    This article discusses the ethics behind OTs taking on an advocacy role, both as an advocate for their clients and also empowering clients to advocate for themselves. The OT code of ethics requires OTs to be advocates through the principles of beneficence, justice, and veracity. It is important that OTs understand laws and regulations and how to apply them to clients needs. Understanding this legal language is important as it can dictate who and how we treat. The incorporation of evidence based practice is also essential in advocacy efforts as it adds to credibility and can help strengthen a case for a client and their need for services.

    Professionalism: As we have learned, it is our duty to do our best to advocate for OT, but also our clients. This qualitative study aims to understand the meaning of advocacy of OTs by exploring their reasons for advocating. Results show OTs advocate for a few reasons: for themselves (personal fulfillment), the client (engaging in occupation, human rights and basic needs, quality of life), and a mixture of both (client-centered practice, power and influence to benefit client).
