    This study was performed to identify the ability for individuals to adjust following spinal cord injury and acute rehabilitation treatment using the PAIS, the psychological adjustment to illness scale. Although this article is dated 1991- I feel that it has extreme relevance to the population. Specifically results of this study were extremely variable, some individuals were able to adjust without difficulty while others reported extreme difficulty with the major life change. I feel that this can be applicable to any traumatic injury--even outside of spinal cord in that experiences and adaption can be very individualized and should be approached as such. (Exactly why OT's approach to individuality and looking at the person as a whole is so crucial following a traumatic injury)

    This article explores the components of practice that make occupational therapy practitioners feel prepared to integrate research into their practice. According to this article, many practitioners in the field feel that they lack the necessary skills required to incorporate innovative research into their practice of occupational therapy. The authors of this article conducted a study to determine what characteristics and behaviors would foster the utilization of research. Eleven occupational therapy practitioners working in stroke rehabilitation participated in the study. The therapists completed a self-report and were interviewed by the authors. The researchers discovered that participants' clinical experience, engagement in continuing education, involvement in research activities and mentoring students all contributed to utilization of research into occupational therapy practice. The authors concluded that research utilization should be enhanced through means of professional development, which will guide practitioners in learning activities, provide opportunities to foster the behaviors discovered in the research study and enhance occupational therapists' capacity to incorporate research into their practice.

    This article discusses sensory modulation approaches and assessment for adolescents and adults, an area I feel is important since I mainly think of sensory modulation with children.

    This article examined what questions and clinical reasoning seasoned allied health professionals ask when posed with a challenging case. Clinical reasoning is crucial as a health care professional and the interesting aspect of this research was to determine how clinicians teach this valuable skill to students. The data illustrated that the popular method was a gradual exposure of clients and self reflection. Additionally, the study identifies and outlines various questions that students can ask themselves when dealing with a client. I really enjoyed this because I feel that these are the two methods that I have most employed in my development of clinical reasoning. I feel that the information in this article can be a great resource us as students, especially when we are dealing with a particularly difficult case.

    This brief article discusses the topic of ethical dilemmas in occupational therapy practice. I truly feel that this topic is prevalent to us as we feel the added pressures of maintaining high productivity and balancing such demands with adequate and appropriate patient care.

    The anonymous OT website is a great place to learn various treatment ideas, how to make things, and read thoughts from other practicing clinicians. In addition, in 2013 the OT posted various ethical dilemmas that are encountered in various settings on a daily basis. The OT not only provided the various scenarios, but also reasons why these incidences occur although she knows each is unethical. There is a scenario that discusses fieldwork students as well. I know I have seen or heard of several of these occurring while on my level 1 and level 2 rotations. Have you?

SUPERVISION OF ASSOCIATED HEALTH TRAINEES- VA Handbook - 0 views

    This exert is specifically from the VA handbook in regards to supervision specifically for health professionals and trainees. This resource provides a strict breakdown of the supervision requirements for supervisors and trainees. It is clear through this policy that strict guidelines are to be followed within this system and this is what I have experienced in my time there. I was intrigued however, that supervisory roles are seen as an educational experience. The following tenet was the first under supervisor regulation--" Supervision is an educational experience provided by a qualified supervising practitioner with a trainee. This relationship is evaluative, extends over time, and has the simultaneous purposes of enhancing the professional functioning of the trainee while monitoring the quality of services delivered. Supervision is provided through observation, consultation, directing the learning and activities of the trainee, and role modeling". I feel that this really stressing the educational importance of being a supervisor.

    This article discusses the need for more research behind the sensory integration approach. The article discusses Jean Ayres ideas of providing the child with a just right approach along with an adaptive response when completing sensory integration during therapy. The article discusses the need the parents feel for sensory processing input. This article was interesting to read since I am currently completing lots of sensory integration therapy with my clients.

Polypharmacy and falls in the middle age and elderly population - 0 views

    Clinical Reasoning: This article looks at the issue of polypharmacy in middle age and elderly adults. The researchers assessed the prevalence of falls the participants experienced versus the number and type of medications they were taking. They concluded fall risk is associated with polypharmacy, but only when at least one drug had a side effect/increased the risk of falling. I chose this article because the majority of my patients I have seen are on multiple medications and most have a history of falls. For example I had a patient today who came in with multiple falls and dizziness, which the doctors believe is due to the number of medications she is taking and they counteract with one another. I feel from a therapy perspective it is part of our job to tease out whether the falls could be due to multiple medications or if there is another reason for the falls. This is where fall prevention is also very important to ensure their safety.

    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 article examines the supervisors' perspective of the benefits and challenges that are faced when supervising an OT student during their fieldwork. This article highlights several components that we need to consider as we enter the profession and are able to supervise students on their level I and level II fieldwork experiences.

    As we will most likely all be asked one day if we wish to take on a fieldwork student, this article is good to bring up some of the positives as well as downsides associated with being a fieldwork educator. It can certainly be a rewarding and educating experience for both student and supervisor and I feel like we owe it to the profession to take on a student.

    Most SCI research out there is focused on males with SCI, since there are more males than females with SCI. Little research is done examining how SCI affects females and their psychosocial needs. This study looks at what women with SCI feel they are experiencing as they age, how they cope, and what their needs are in order to continue to engage in society.

    This article aims to use a qualitative descriptive study to describe occupational therapists experiences and improvements in work after adopting the Occupational Therapy Intervention Process Model (OTIPM). The OTIPM is a client-centered, top down, occupation-focused OT model of practice. The assumptions of the model are that every person is unique, has the will to engage in meaningful occupations, occupations are the primary therapeutic means and engagement in occupations in the central focus in OT. The study was conducted in an acute care hospital in Sweden starting in 2001. They were selected because the therapists wanted to improve OT services and promote evidence-practice in their hospital. The participants participated in a total of six semi-structured focus interviews in which the occupational therapists were asked to describe their experiences of the long-term improvements in work, attitudes toward improvements work and thoughts on how this improved work impacts the goal to change to a more sustainable and evidence-based OT practice in their setting. The first three interviews were in 2006 and the last three were in 2011. The interviews were analyzed and broken down into common themes among therapists. The first theme is that the therapists found their thoughts and actions were transformed on an individual and group level after adopting the OTIPM. The second theme discovered how the therapists dealt with conflicting feelings and attitudes toward change. The final theme describes a shared professional culture. In conclusion, the investigators discovered from the 10-year study and testimonies of Swedish therapists that the use of OTIPM can lead to the integration of evidence-based knowledge that has long-lasting achievements in practice.
