    This article focused on the importance of having your heart, mind, and soul behind you and your profession in order to present professionalism within the occupational therapy field. The heart of professionalism in occupational therapy, focuses on doing Good Work and/or ensuring that what we are doing is right for us as well as improving another's life. The mind of professionalism in occupational therapy, this idea is centered around working to broaden the scope of knowledge within occupational therapy as well as providing EVP to your clients because they deserve more than the routine BUE exercises. Lastly, the soul of professionalism within occupational therapy, this involves collaborating with other individuals within the profession, critically evaluating, and brainstorming to ensure that the highest standard of practice is being used within the clinics. These three components are interwoven. Therefore, if one piece, the heart, mind, or soul is missing then the level of professionalism you portray decreases.

    This article explores the question of how as OT's we stay convinced that our work is, and can always be, right for ourselves just as it is good for the world. The author proposes the answer lies in how we understand and enact professionalism

    This is a really neat article. It personifies professionalism and puts a whole new meaning to it. It emphasizes the importance of it for our field and how it has evolved over the years. I like how it talks about professionalism can bring occupational therapists together and "nourish our convictions in the rightness of our work for ourselves and its goodness for the world." This article is written more like a novel and I think many people would enjoy the read!!

    This article provides an interesting perspective concerning professionalism in occupational therapy. In this article the author examines the importance of having your heart, mind, and soul as your driving force in order to demonstrate professionalism. The heart of professionalism involves a belief that what you do to better people's lives and society is so special that no amount of money could measure how important it is to you. The mind of professionalism involves the application of knowledge and expertise that enables a therapist to be empowered and inspired to utilize evidence within their everyday practice to better meet their patients' needs. Lastly, the soul of professionalism includes the special bond therapists have with one another and with their patients, focused on collaboration and creativity, in order to provide the highest quality of care to their patients.

    This article in The American Journal of Occupational Therapy sets out to describe professionalism and how it relates to the occupational therapy field and career. The author, Wendy Wood (2004), describes professionalism as an "ideal that encompasses widely held expectations of, and objective standards for evaluating, any field that calls itself a profession." She emphasizes how personal professionalism is and relates it to the heart, mind, and soul to illustrate its most crucial elements. She describes the history of the profession and how it along with professionalism has developed as the field has grown. Wood goes on to state that any field, occupational therapy included, which claims professional stature must be equally dedicated to developing it's "mind" and "heart." This just means that the body of knowledge must also continue to grow and develop as the profession grows. We must also grow as professionals who are interacting with one another. Wood (2004) states the importance of interacting with others in ways that are "honest, critically evaluative, and dedicated toward realizing a greater good."

    This article provides a guideline on how occupational therapists can understand and carryout professional behavior. The author breaks down professionalism in terms of "the vital elements" the heart, mind, and soul and how to apply these aspects in a professional manner. The author highlights the fact that professionalism is a process and grows over time.

    As we engage our hearts to do Good Work, strive to nourish our minds, and to cultivate the authenticity of our souls we can help make the field of occupational therapy stand out and be a pillar of professionalism. Wendy Wood's article is inspiring and is a good read to give you a little boost.

    The author's purpose of this article was to promote professionalism as heart, mind, and soul at all level so that all we do in the name of occupational therapy not only remains right for ourselves and good for the world, but also grows more so over time. He described professionalism as especially important for the well-being of individuals or of society at large, having a value so special that money cannot serve as its sole measure: it is also simply good work. The author was captured by the magic of occupational therapy as a counselor at a summer camp for autistic children, which was a truly inspiring story about how he fell in love with the profession. He emphasized how personal professionalism is; so personal, in fact, that he uses the metaphors of heart, mind, and soul to depict its most vital elements. Any field claiming professional stature must be just as dedicated to cultivating its mind as it is to nourishing its heart, as the two are wonderfully symbiotic. I loved this article, and it truly depicted the meaning of and what it means to be an occupational therapist at a personal level.

    This article discusses professionalism in OT practice and what it means. Professionalism was broken down into three parts: the heart, mind, and soul. The main point the author stressed is that professionalism is personal and is the responsibility of each individual. The heart was described as the pleasure and pride taken in our work as OTs. The mind is the specialized body of knowledge that makes OT unique. The soul is the authentic and genuine connections with both patients and colleagues. Each of these can be disrupted but it is the individual's responsibility to try and create a solution to further promote the professionalism of OT.

    This article discusses treatment methods for patients who would benefit from cardiac rehabilitation. The article outlines a 12 week program that starts with preparatory exercises to improve heart health prior to participating in occupations. The article then goes into details of how to introduce the patient to their occupations after building the functional strength and endurance needed to participate in them.

    Janszky, J., Blom, S., Georgiades, A., Laszlo, K., Alinaghizadeh, H., Ahnve, S. (2007) study aimed to evaluate the effect of a 1-year stress management program, aimed at reducing symptoms of depression and vital exhaustion (VE) in women in coronary heart disease (CHD). The study included 247 women who were conveniently recruited after a cardiac event of AMI, PCI, CABG at Karolinska University Hospital at Huddinge or at St. Gorans Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden. The experimental group which included stress management (20 2-hour sessions) and medical care by a cardiologist or the control group that consisted of usual care health post heart surgeries with no stress management session. The study had many limitations, first were women who did not want to participate in the 1 year intervention were not compared to those who did. The study also did not enroll subjects who may have been considered healthier. The subjects in the treatment group were in the care of a cardiologist and the self-rated vital exhaustion and depressive symptom measures may have been biased. The results of the study included that vital exhaustion for both groups improved over time and the decreased amount of VE was more pronounced in the intervention group. The change in depressive symptoms between the two groups did not differ.

    The findings of this article showed that those with CHF reported significant reductions in participation in all four domains. The main domain was activity retention (leisure, IADLs and social). Results for depression, cognition, and participation showed that those with CHF have functioning problems and depressive symptoms were present. However, there was no correlation between memory and attention performance. This study was limited to the sample size because it was less than 30. It also stated few participants did not complete the study because of fatigue and scheduling issues, but it never stated how many dropped out. This may affect population validity of the study because it is unknown if there was mortality. Also, the 27 subjects used were all from the same hospital (convenient sample) and this may also pose a threat to population validity. The results of the study suggest that management of CHF should expand in focus from physical functioning and physically demanding activities to consider cognitive and psychological functioning in the context of all life situations. Occupational therapy can play a vital role in helping those with CHF and their psychosocial impairments (decreasing depression), while getting them back into the community and functioning in their everyday tasks, which may also reduce symptoms of depression. I used this article because the facility I'm at now admits a lot of cardiac patients and many have depressive symptoms as they are recovering from their cardiac impairments and returning to their everyday lives in the community.

    This article looks at the efficacy of a technique called tapping facilitation for CVA patients with hemiplegic UEs. I got to learn about this technique with an inpatient who had a massive CVA when she went in for open heart surgery. Her right arm and hand were completely flaccid. We used this to work on regaining elbow flexion & extension, as well as wrist flexion and extension. This technique involves putting the targeted muscle group on a stretch (i.e. elbow/wrist flexors or extensors) and firmly tapping the muscle bellies until there was a palpable to visually noticeable "twitch" in those muscles. After this twitch was felt or observed we would passively take the elbow or wrist through the ROM we were working on so that the brain could reform the connections.
