    In this letter to the editor in AJOT, an OT working in a mental health setting describes the difficulty of proving the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of OT in mental health. When asked to provide such evidence at her work place, even with the help of some of the prominent mental health OTs she was unable to find enough research. She makes a call for those interested in the mental health profession to begin to do more research in the area in order to protect OTs role in the setting.

    This is a fact sheet from AOTA which discusses OT's role in community mental health. This is an area in which OTs play an important role as mental health services shift from a a hospital based setting to more community based. It has been shown that OT interventions help to improve outcomes for those living in the community with serious mental illnesses. OT's can help to address the areas of education, work skills, health/wellness, and cognitive remediation and adaption. This document also discusses ways in which OT can help to address community barriers to functioning such as SES, stigma, safety, and housing options.

    Individuals experiencing mental health disorders are susceptible to impairments in occupational functioning due to decreased concentration, memory, thought processes, insight, judgement, decision-making, reality orientation, regulating emotions, understanding perception, motivation, and psycho-motor activity. This is a quantitative study out of the South American Journal of Occupation Therapy that studied the effects of slow vs. fast tempo of music on symptoms of psychosis during occupation. There were 160 individuals with diagnosed psychological disorders in a psych hospital in South Africa. The subjects participated in a leatherwork activity while listening to either fast paced/upbeat music or low tempo/slow music. Attention/focus, ability to follow instructions, directedness towards the activity, and motivation were measured in groups of individuals who had psycho-motor agitation or psycho-motor inhibition psychosis. The study found that listening to music during an activity has the ability to improve all three variables in both agitation and inhibited-motor psychosis. Fast-paced tempo significantly improves attention in individuals with inhibited motor-psychosis. The ability to follow instructions improved in both fast and slow tempo music for both agitated and inhibited individuals. Directedness and motivation did not significantly improve in any of the groups. This study indicates that music can improve the ability to perform occupations and activities in individuals with mental health disorders. Music is very individualized and it may be difficult for OT practitioners to work with groups of individuals when introducing music. IT is important for an OT to gather a good understanding of a patient's preferences and determine if they would be a good candidate for the use of music during therapy. More research is recommended in this area to further determine the effects of music on occupation in this population.

    This article describes the challenges that OTs face when treating the whole person in an acute care setting. It is difficult to have other disciplines understand in this setting that mental gains are just as important if not more important to work on in this type of setting. A recent pt had a stroke and was high functioning before...pt had been in inpatient rehab for two weeks and treatment sessions weren't improving d/t mental state. Pt got a decent discharge date and therapy goals were attained in no time!

    This article from AOTA focuses on the distinct value OT has on mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention. It provides a nice overview of how our mental health affects our participation in occupations in our daily lives and how OT can be beneficial in various settings and intervention strategies.

    This article discusses the impact of an educational intervention in DVD format focused on strengthening the mental health practices of occupational therapists working with older adults in long-term care settings. Thirty occupational therapists were selected to participate in the pretest-posttest design. The therapists completed a knowledge and attitude questionnaire, as well as completed chart reviews of therapists' caseloads three months prior to watching the videos. After watching the DVD and three months had past, the therapists participating in the study completed the same knowledge and attitude questionnaire and chart reviews once more. The results showed a 20%-30% increase in correct answers on the questionnaire. The chart reviews also showed that therapists spent increased time addressing patients' mood, depression and cognitive impairments, as well as conduct more screenings for depression and cognitive impairments. The conclusion stated that educational interventions with therapists could significantly increase the quality of mental health practices in occupational therapy.

    This is an interesting research opportunity for those of us who would love to work with older adults especially in the mental health arena. The AOTA Evidence Based Project has developed a table summarizing the research opportunities on adults with serious mental illness. The table provides an overview of the state of current available evidence on interventions within the scope of occupational therapy practice and is based on the systematic reviews from AOTA's Occupational Therapy Practice Guidelines Series.Researchers, students, and clinicians can use this information in developing innovative research to answer important questions within the occupational therapy field.

    There is a big push at the school district I'm in to increase the amount of physical activity students engage in as it as been shown to improve the mental health of children. This article provides evidence of the relationship that exists between physical activity and mental health, as well as the best and safest way to implement physical activity.
