    As individuals age, communication often times becomes more difficult due to loss of hearing and eye sight. This PDF document provides information in a classroom format, with learning objectives and simple follow-up questions, to help students and clinicians alike to better understand the psychosocial needs of older adults. The document discusses how our views on aging also impact the patient that we are encountering on a daily basis. It is our task to provide the resources needed to these individuals to gain satisfaction and a sense of wellbeing. Lastly, the document provides ideas and information of alternate ways of thinking, communicating, as well as myths both positive and negative to better assist us in our learning process.

    This PDF document was part of a training course provided by Kansas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. This particular document outlines various psychosocial needs of the elderly, and various strategies health care professionals can utilize to help provide more person-centered care. Psychosocial needs/issues can arise as a result of the many changes that can occur during older adulthood. This article outlines seven changes that frequently occur in older adulthood that can present potential issues when individuals do not adjust to the changes. For instance, family changes occur as parents who used to care for their children are now being cared for by their children. Individuals may face retirement, and no longer have a sense of who they are without a job title. Older adults may experience an awareness of their mortality as loved ones die and their health declines. Individuals may lose their spouse and companion. Fear of loss of independence may set in as persons experience a decline in health and their physical abilities. Poor adjustment to changes in income after retirement can trigger psychosocial issues. Finally, loneliness may occur as children become busy, older adults do not drive, and spouses and friends die. All of these various factors can create psychosocial needs within a person's life. This article does a great job at not only defining why psychosocial issues may be present within this population, but also provides strategies to help older adults find joy in their lives again and help address their psychosocial needs. For instance, the article focuses on building on lifelong interests and offering new activities that an individual can engage in for pleasure.

    The scope of this handout created by North Carolina Department of Public Instruction is a guide for school based therapist when determining if a child is in need of services in the school. This document states that if the child cannot have access to their education or will not experience educational benefit then occupational therapy services are relevant and could be necessary in order to enhance the child's educational success. Alternatively, this handout also addresses when occupational therapy services are not warranted. Some indicators to know when services are not needed include 1) the needs can be addressed by a special educator or school faculty 2) can needs be addressed during non school hours and/or 3) will providing services lead to an unnecessary gaps or contraindications with other necessary services. These simple guidelines can help the therapist to clinically reason if the student requires services and why or why not. Another great piece of this handout is discussing when occupational therapy services can be discontinued. This section helps the therapist walk through the necessary step in order to accurately determine if services are still needed.

    With the increasing age of the baby boomer generation, it is expected that the number of individuals in long-term care facilities will increase. This article was written to help healthcare professionals anticipate the psychosocial needs that the baby boomer generation will have when residing in a long-term care facility. The author defines ten potential factors to look for when working within long-term care settings. For instance, the first psychosocial need the author anticipates the baby boomer generation will have is a desire for social connectedness with others. By anticipating these needs, occupational therapists will be better prepared to help the baby boomers smoothly transition into long-term care facilities.

    This article discusses the paradigm shift in health care towards evidence based and client centered practice to increase patient outcomes by linking payment to performance. In this type of system it is important to define OTs distinct value so that it does not get pushed out. There needs to be an increase in evidence that shows the efficacy of OT interventions. Overall, there needs to be the development of quality measures so that OTs can evaluate and document their contributions to patient outcomes.

    This article conducted a study surveying Indiana's public school -based occupational therapists and school representatives. The OT practitioners provide interventions such as handwriting, sensory awareness, processing, gross and fine motor skills, and perceptual awareness to students who undergo OT. In this article, it is evident that there is a need for OT and that there is a need for the psychosocial factors to be addressed. This article is a pediatric article and portrays the rising research for psychosocial needs and that they are being and need addressed in occupational therapy today.

    This article from AOTA discusses the role of OT in palliative care and relates to the psychosocial needs of clients in this area. It examines the occupational therapy approach in meaningful occupations as holistic and client-centered which "fosters a sense of independence and self-efficacy amidst the challenges of living with debilitating symptoms. The ability to carry out activities of daily living (ADL) is an important goal for patients with life threatening illness, and also has implications for work, social life, relationships, and family and home structure." The article provides examples of intervention for clients in palliative care including, ADLs, IADLs, rest and sleep, play, leisure, social participation, and interpersonal. I think the interpersonal, leisure, and social participation aspects of OT in palliative care going along with clients psychosocial needs. Engaging clients in discussion, coping strategies, and encouraging communication among family members are essential roles of an OT in palliative care.
