OT's play a significant role in the discharge process and are often exposed to ethically challenging decision-making. This paper examines the moral basis of discharge planning, relating it to the four fundamental bio-ethical principles of respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. Using a case study design, data was collected from 10 occupational therapists and two elder care patients using the critical incident approach, as part of a wider study to determine their perceptions of discharge planning and multidisciplinary teamwork. Direct observation of interaction within multidisciplinary teams was also undertaken. This study suggests that occupational therapists are unintentionally breaching a set of principles laid out in the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. It is suggested that occupational therapists should further utilize multidisciplinary teams as a place where they can speak about their ethical concerns so that they are able to be effective client centered practitioners.

This article explores four of our Ethicall principles, autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. When included in the discharge process this article identified that OT practitioners are unintentionally breaching these principles in our code of ethics. The article goes on to clear up that OT's are having to scarifice their ethics to cooperate with a faster discharge date.

Ethics: A big ethical issue I am running across in my setting is the pressure to recommend a particular discharge placement when I do not feel the person is appropriate or does not wish to go to. This study looks at OT/PT decision making process when making a recommendation. This study identified 4 constructs that drive discharge recommendations: patients' functioning/disability, patients' wants and needs, patients' ability to participate in care, and patients' life context. These recommendations however are influenced by a number of external factors, such as health care regulations and opinions of other health care professionals as well as the patients.

This articles discusses the effectiveness of occupational therapy for stroke patients following discharge from a stroke unit. There was an experimental group and control group who received no follow up appointments following discharge. Both group were compared one year post-stroke. The article discusses that there were few significant findings, in terms of activities of daily living, IADLs, mood, and percieved quality of life. However, the number of adaptive equipment requested was greater and re-admissions to the hospital was smaller following the one year. This articles points out that stroke patients need occupational therapy services in order to help make sure they have all the resources they need when returning to home post stroke and living a healthy lifestyle following.

Atwal, A., & Caldwell, K. (2003). Ethics, occupational therapy and discharge planning: Four broken principles. Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, 50(4), 244-251. This article examines ethical dilemmas occupational therapists may face during discharge planning. Data was collected from ten occupational therapists to determine how well therapists are able to follow the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Researchers found that the therapists in this study unintentionally breached these four principles. The authors speculate that a push for speedy discharges leaves many therapists facing ethical dilemmas. The authors offer solutions for eliminating breaches of each of the four ethical principles listed above. They suggest that utilizing a multidisciplinary approach may offer a means of discussing ethical concerns so that practitioners are better able to provide ethical care.

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.

This article analyzes the amount and settings of ethical dilemmas from 118 OT's and 107 PT's over a 6-month period. For occupational therapists some of the dilemmas include the risky discharge of patients from hospital, resource limitations, and poor standards of care. For physical therapists these include effectiveness of therapy, conflict between the patients' wishes and professional judgment, and refusal of therapy. The article analyzes the similarities and differences between the types of dilemmas experienced between the two disciplines.

This study aimed to determine the course of anxiety, depression, and perceptions of control, along with the influence of perception of control in patients undergoing CABG before surgery and after surgery, along with two weeks post discharge. The study included 231 participants having CABG surgery were conveniently recruited from two hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Patients took a series of questionnaires before surgery, after surgery, and two weeks post discharge. The questionnaires asked questions on anxiety and depression and were measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Control Attitudes Scale. Limitations of the study included the use of a convenient sample and loss of participants for the second and third interview. The results showed perceptions of control were moderate before surgery and improved once the surgery was completed, and again in early recovery in the second week after patients had gone home. Perceptions of control are important because they had a positive influence on concurrent anxiety and depression at all times.
