    This is a great article pertaining directly to ethics of occupational therapy practitioners in skilled nursing facilities. The article clearly defines each ethical principal outlined in the AOTA code of ethics and how they relate to practice. The article then has several case studies that give specific ethical dilemmas and solve the dilemma with evidence from the AOTA ethical principals. One specif case study explained how it was unethical to treat a family member to do potential violations of justice and fairness.

    This resource provides information on how to submit an ethics complaint to AOTA if you believe that someone has violated the OT code of ethics. The complainant must submit supporting document that details the alleged violation including the relationship to violator, when the violation occurred, and what attempts to address the violation were taken. The ethics commission meets once a month to discuss and review ethics complaints. Once reviewed, a final decision can take several months up to a year to be made. During this time, the accused violator can request an appeal to the complaint.

    This study aimed to identify the factors influencing ethical behavior of pediatric occupational therapists at work. The researchers conducted a study of 12 currently practicing pediatric occupational therapists. Researchers interviewed these therapists with questions regarding factors affecting ethical beliefs and ethical behaviors. From the interviews, 4 main themes were revealed: 1. organizational factors (some participants believed lack of human resources or therapy space impacted ethical behaviors), 2. therapist related factors (some therapists believed that things such as self esteem, competence, family/home life all impacted ethical behaviors), 3. client family issues (some therapists thought that a child's family/parents could impact a therapists ethical behaviors. For example, a parent may instruct a therapist NOT to stop a child for crying, versus other parents instructing the therapist to punish the child for crying), and 4. Social factors (some participants believed that social factors, such as an overall societal decline in ethical behaviors, such as not having financial support systems or insurances not covering occupational therapy and thus causing for mistakes. In another perspective, participants pointed out that in the past if a patient could not pay for services the therapist would still help them, but now therapy can only be provided if they can pay for it or have enough insurance.

    OTs are required ethically, legally, and professionally to evaluate deficits and meet the needs of their clients related to driving. It is the ethical responsibility of OTs to use current and accurate evaluation tools for data collection, and to work within our level of competence/expertise. We must strive to avoid harm; Driving may be a meaningful occupation, but it may cause heightened risk of harm for patients and the public. Identification of deficits that may effect safe driving obligates OTs to warn the patient and report their findings. In these cases, confidentiality is superseded by legal and ethical obligations.

    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.

Ethical Issues Around Payment for Services - 0 views

    This article, found on AOTA's website, discussed an ethical issue that we, as practitioners, will face that I hadn't really thought about. As therapists we will be faced with the issue of treating two individuals who have the same diagnosis and prognosis, but have different insurances! One individual will more than likely get more minutes and resources based on their insurance compared to the other. This is definitely an ethical dilemma I hadn't thought about.

    This article, written by the American Occupational Therapy Association, outlines various ethical issues concerning payment for services occupational therapy practitioners may face. For instance, occupational therapy practitioners may encounter situations where two individuals have the same diagnosis but are entitled by differing insurance plans to varying levels of services at different levels of reimbursement. Sadly, differences in insurance plans can pose inevitable differences in patients' care. I have been able to witness this scenario first hand, as some insurance companies will only pay a flat rate for 30 minutes of occupational therapy services for a skilled patient versus another insurance company allowing a patient to receive ninety minutes of skilled occupational therapy services per day, when both patients have the same diagnosis and deficits. It stands to reason that individuals who are able to receive more intensive services will receive a higher level of care as more time can be devoted to addressing deficits. All of the issues presented in this document can pose potential ethical dilemmas for occupational therapy practitioners; however, utilizing the AOTA Code of Ethics can enable practitioners to make effective, ethical decisions in the best interest of their patients.

    This article specifically targets occupational therapist within a medical-model based setting in hopes to address ethical issues often seen and debated specifically within a medical rehabilitation facility. The article provides a two-part study revolving around the influences that Occupational Therapist have and can have on the development of policies and ethical practice. The author provides a wide variety of resources and makes a personal conclusion that the current policies and service model within health care generate ethical concerns particularly for rehab therapist and professionals.

Ethical Decision-making in OT and PT - 1 views

    This article examines the longitudinal effects that a specific OT and PT program within a specific university affect ethical decision-making in their students. The study examined two classes of students and administered the Defining Issues Test (DIT) which according to the article is suppose to be a fairly valid measure. The test was administered on the first day of class and then in the final semester of the students coursework. The results found that the formation of ethics can be a difficult process. The study states that age is a huge factor in this process. Students over 30 years old appear to have formed and be set in their own ethical decision making process. Also, the study found that with at least this program, the students were not provided with enough coursework and instruction in ethical decision-making. The authors suggest that programs provide three to twelve weeks of instruction on ethics as opposed to the typical intermittent instruction throughout coursework. Overall, I found this to be interesting to consider. Overall, I feel that the program is set-up really well. However, I must admit that I would be curious if we had a course that was specifically aimed at ethics. Perhaps this will occur when the program moves to a doctorate degree.

    This article, written by an occupational therapy practitioner, is more of a call to action for occupational therapists to examine the American Occupational Therapy Association Code of Ethics and reflect upon whether their daily actions and attitudes reflect the Code of Ethics. The occupational therapist expresses that oftentimes occupational therapy practitioners associate upholding ethics with patient care. However, as this author pinpoints upholding ethics extends past patients, but also to students, colleagues, third-party payers, as well as the profession itself. For instance, the author identifies frustration with occupational therapists and the companies that employ them that refuse to take fieldwork students whether due to fear that productivity will suffer, they're too busy, or whatever reason. Regardless of the reason, the author states that an ethical practitioner will find a way to make it feasible because they understand they have a professional commitment to train students.

    We have discussed the ethics of the occupational therapy profession but I thought it would be useful to know how to go about addressing an ethical issue, if it arises in the workplace. This overview lists the steps that should be taken to properly report a violation of ethics to AOTA.
