Home modifications aim to enhance safety and occupational performance in the home. However, given the complexity and unique meaning of the home, they can impact aspects other than function. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore the impact of home modifications on clients and their family's experience of home. The study found that home modifications impacted positively and negatively on five dimensions of the home environment, the personal, occupational, physical, temporal and social dimension. The outcomes of the modifications and the home modification process were influenced by three themes, workmanship, consultation or involvement in decision-making, and the societal dimension of the home environment. Conclusions: The negative outcomes and poor consultation experiences suggest the need for occupational therapists to understand their client's personal experience of home and to comprehensively follow-up and evaluate these following home modifications.

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.

This PDF document is the fourth article in a series concerning the steps of how to conduct evidence-based practice. The first three steps include write a clinical question, gather current evidence that might answer the question, and then evaluate the literature to determine what is the best answer in regards to your clinical question. In this article the author discusses the fourth step of how to conduct evidence-based practice, which is communicating the evidence to patients, family members, and other colleagues in regards to how it may impact intervention decisions. In order to effectively communicate to all parties involved the occupational therapist must first conduct an unbiased, comprehensive search to answer the proposed clinical question. The therapist must then be able to interpret the information and articulate it to their patient, their family, and their colleagues in a way that is easy to understand. The author suggests starting broadly and then narrowing down; in other words present the evidence as a whole and then narrow it down to how it can be applied to the patient's case. Above all, it is important to make sure the patient is able to comprehend the information as it is a collaborative work between the therapist and the patient in order to provide the most beneficial treatment.

This link is a great resource for an OT or COTA working in multiple states or a traveling therapist. The link is a comprehensive description of the statutes, regulations, roles/responsibilities, delegation, and supervision outlined and organized by each state. I feel like this would be a great way to familiarize myself with the similarities and differences from state to state.

Occupational Therapy cognitive assessments

shared by jennburwell on 05 Nov 17 - No Cached

jennburwell on 05 Nov 17

The study examined two assessments, one an occupation based assessment (AMPS) and body function assessment (LACL). 30 clients who recently experienced a stroke took both assessments at home. Two groups of participants were formed, one group took the AMPS first and the other group took the LACLS first. Subjects were allowed to choose tasks that were known to them from the AMPS. Data was analyzed to assess the ability for the AMPS and LACLS to predict independence with ADLs and subsequently IADLs. The results confirmed the hypothesis of this study: a moderate positive correlation was found between the LACL and both the motor and the process scales of the AMPS, suggesting that although correlations between the tests were found, they do not fully examine the same concepts. The results also indicated moderate positive correlation between the LACL and the AMPS, yet there were discrepancies between the two tools in the determination of independence in instrumental activities of daily living (IADL). Clients who were found to be independent by one assessment were found to be dependent by the other. The authors suggest the use of these tools in conjuction with observation of ADLs and IADLs to predict independence levels. The authors also identified areas of each tool that was assessed in conjunction with predicting levels of independence with focus directed at judgement and comprehension to predict functional performance as supported by previous literature (Fong, Chan, and Au, 2001).

This program is implemented at my school. The OG teachers update the OT on things they've noticed with each student. The OG teachers are a part of the evaluation team, so knowing about this program could be beneficial; although, OTs are not directly responsible for the OG curriculum.

This article reviews the literature on treating people who have had a stroke. An extensive search in MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, AMED, and SCISEARCH was performed. This review identified small but significant effect sizes for the efficacy of comprehensive OT on primary ADL, extended ADL, and social participation. However, more research will need to be completed on this topic. This article is a nice overview to see what is being used on patients who have encountered a stroke and how successful it has been.
