    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."

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 web resource is presented by a registered nurse but provides a broad overview of professionalism within the healthcare arena. The author of this presentation first defines professional as someone who has specialized knowledge within a particular field and who oftentimes has completed an intensive period of academic coursework in order to begin working. A professional is also someone who upholds the ethical standards of their profession. The author then goes on to explain the various facets of professionalism. According to her, demonstrating professionalism includes being a team player, having an awareness of how your mannerisms, words, and actions can affect others, being fully accountable for your actions, using kindness, compassion, knowledge, and direct communication to lead others, as well as learning to master a mindful, calm response to an emergency. Throughout the presentation, the author highlights that although your job may not be easy and at times can be stressful and seem impossible, that is no excuse to be unprofessional. This is something important for us to keep in mind as we begin our career as occupational therapists.

    This link can provide a lot of relevant information on Allen's Cognitive levels. I went to it a lot when putting together my presentation for my second rotation. Being out in the field it is nice to use an assessment that comes with an entire system basically. ACL are backed up by years of research and is something we should keep in mind. I think one of my weak points is challenging cognitive patients with appropriate activities. ACL can really help close the gap to get good fit activities for your cognitively impaired patients.

Long-Term Care of the Aged: Ethical Dilemmas and Solutions - 0 views

    This article examines ethical issues in long-term care. One key component of solving ethical issues in long-term care settings is continually reexamining the beliefs and assumptions of the elderly in this setting and how occupational therapy services will affect them. One area that we must consider to make ethical decisions is the changes in medical technology and the demographics of the residents in these long-term care settings. The next point the article discusses is the concept of autonomy and how the current autonomy paradigm is poorly suited to guide occupational therapy's decisions regarding older adults in long-term care. The concepts of autonomy inadequately describe the realities of aging populations according to this article. The third concept is to create a new approach of autonomy by consulting the individual and taking into account the elderly's freedoms while they are residing in long-term care facilities. Another model that must be incorporated into developing ethical guidelines for long-term care settings is the partnership model, which states that family and important resources should be included in the daily living activities and critical health care decisions of the residents. Approaching occupational therapy with these concepts in mind will allow for better quality of care and increased ethical guidance.

    Thompson, L., Dawson, K., Ferdig, R., Black, E., Boyer, J., Coutts, J., & Black, N. (2008). The intersection of online social networking with medical professionalism. Journal of General Internal Medicine, 23(7), 954-957. This study examined the frequency and content of online social networking among medical students and residents. The results revealed that 44.5% of the medical trainees in this study had Facebook accounts. Only a third of these accounts were made private. Many of these accounts were publicly accessible, had personally identifiable information, and displayed potentially unprofessional material. The authors conclude that it is important for for students to receive education about the intersection of personal and professional identities. As we begin our professional careers, I think this topic is important for us to keep in mind. There could be ramifications of sharing personal information publicly. We may not be accepted for a job, or we could even be fired if information on our public profiles displays unprofessional behavior. Publicly displaying unprofessional behavior can affect the way we are viewed by our employers and by our clients. I found it surprising that so many of the students in this study had publicly accessible profiles, and I think we should all consider reviewing our profiles, deleting potentially unprofessional content, and making our information private.

    Although we are still students, I think it is important that we understand the difference in supervision and mentoring. Through supervision on has the ability to enhance their knowledge and skills in order to provide treatment to their clients as a professional clinician. Having supervision from a clinician who has more exposure to the field allows and entry-level practitioner to gain more knowledge and ideas concerning their clients, goals, treatments, and situations that may affect treatment. Unlike a supervisor, a mentor usually finds a mentee. A mentor often assists a mentee who is trying to reach higher levels that they have already achieved. In a mentoring relationship, it is for a longer duration and often conversation topics are broad and free-flowing without a goal in mind.

    This article discusses the lack of education and knowledge OT's currently have regarding psychosocial issues. The author explained the history behind occupational therapists gaining access into the mental health field, but then feeling threatened for their jobs. She discusses how ACOTE reorganized the curriculum and described how the lack of psychology no longer gives us the strength needed to treat the mind-body as a whole. This article makes you sit back and think about what we might be missing as students.
