    This study was particularly interesting considering we are currently paired with clinicians during our level II rotations. The study aimed to determine whether a difference in productivity exists between clinicians supervising and not supervising a Level II occupational therapy student and whether factors including clinician years of experience, practice setting, and clinician productivity without a student could predict clinician productivity while supervising a student. Results indicated no difference in clinician productivity with or without a student. Clinician years of experience, practice area, and productivity without a student were significant predictors of clinician productivity while supervising a student. Study results contradict the belief that supervising Level II fieldwork students lowers clinicians' productivity. Findings suggest that practice area and productivity without a student are important factors influencing the productivity of clinicians supervising a fieldwork student.

    The purpose of this study is to describe currently used educational strategies for teaching evidence-based practice (EBP) in entry-level master's degree occupational therapy programs in the United States. Fifty-eight entry-level occupational therapy program directors completed a survey. Results showed that occupational therapy programs consistently use a wide variety of EBP resources for teaching EBP including database searches, literature reviews, and the development of a research proposal. Less commonly used strategies include the use of case stories and journal clubs. The current study provides a baseline of existing strategies taught in entry-level programs that may be built upon to gather more information about the content of EBP coursework, and determine ways to foster implementation of EBP in practice.

Spinal Cord Injury

    Advances in health care science allow more people with spinal cord injuries to live to old age. The purpose of this study was to determine those factors that contribute to the well-being of middle-aged and elderly spinal cord-injured people. One hundred spinal cord-injured people, ranging in age from 40 to 73 years, completed an extensive structured interview. In general, respondents reported a degree of well-being on the same measures of satisfaction and depression that was slightly lower than that of similarly aged nondisabled people. Pearson correlations indicated that people experiencing high levels of well-being reported high levels of perceived control, had higher levels of social support, and judged their health status to be good. These people also viewed their disability more favorably, tended to have higher incomes and more education, were employed, and were more religious than those indicating lower levels of well-being. The severity of the spinal cord injury was not correlated highly with subjective well-being, although there was a tendency for those with greater disability to report lower levels of well-being. People who were younger, who incurred their disability at a younger age, and who blamed themselves and felt they could have avoided the injury also tended to report higher levels of well-being.

    Practice Advisory: Services Provided by Students in Fieldwork Level II Settings This resource is provided by AOTA and is a practice advisory about Level II fieldwork students, the services they provide and their supervision. It states that Level II fieldwork students are able to provide occupational therapy services under the supervision of a qualified occupational therapist or occupational therapy assistant in compliance with state and federal regulations. The supervision of Level II fieldwork students should protect consumers and provide a positive role modeling of occupational therapy practice. The supervisor is encouraged to recognized when supervision is needed and still nurturing the student's growth. Supervision should begin at line of sight and gradually decrease as the student's experience, competence, and confidence increases.

    I chose this article because we use the Allen Cognitive level often in my setting and I continue to question the outcome at times yet everyone experienced that I work with fully believes that it is a great assessment. I like the idea in this article that there is more to be learned than the ACL can give you.

    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 study aimed to test the construct validity of an instrument to measure professional behaviors in entry-level occupational therapy students. To do this, the researchers developed and validated an instrument that evaluates entry-level OT student professional behaviors. 718 students from 37 OT programs answered a self-assessment survey of professional behavior. The questionnaire in the survey consisted of two sections. The 1st section had questions about attributes related to professional behaviors and the second section had six items on demographic information of the respondents. From the survey, the researchers found that the most frequent student professional behavior issues were: lack of personal responsibility, social intolerance, disrespect of others, tardiness, missed appointments, excessive absences, failure to meet deadlines, and dress code violations. Another purpose of this study was to show that the instrument developed by the researchers could be indeed be validated and indeed provide valuable information that could be helpful for students as well as clinical supervisors and OT programs,
