    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.

Conceptualising professionalism in occupational therapy through a Western lens - 0 views

    This paper strives for a greater understanding of how professionalism is currently conceptualised within Western occupational therapy literature. The article explains how an understanding of professionalism is commonly assumed rather than clearly explained. Thus, explicit description and examination of this complex concept is often over- looked. It should be noted that the concept of professionalism is solely being examined through a Western cultural lens.

    This blog is something that all clinicians and students need to read, think about, and discuss with others. The author discusses how she was taught a series of problem solving steps during her education and how they have caused her to become like many other therapists by jumping to solutions before knowing the real problem. Therefore, the therapists discusses all the things she has learned on her own through her various classes that she examines when screening/assessing a patient in order to determine the appropriate problem in order to generate an effective solution.
  • meganthompson on 06 Aug 14
     
    This posting describes an occupational therapists evolution of clinical reasoning skills as she developed as a practitioner. As an entry-level practitioner she followed the "problem solving process" she was taught in school. This process includes identifying the problems, identifying potential solutions, choosing one identified solution, implementing the solution, reviewing the satisfactoriness of the solution, and if unsatisfied completing the process over and over until a satisfactory solution is met. However, she explains that she quickly realized that too often we as occupational therapy practitioners jump in with various solutions before truly identifying the root of the problem. The author highlights numerous assumptions that can be made as to why we want to jump the gun, so to speak. Some of the top reasons mentioned include the patient lacks insight as to the root of the problem and may identify contributory problems and not the true source, there is no specific step to properly examine the source of the problem, and lastly we often view an individual's needs in terms of deficits rather than examining interactions between the individual concerning values and daily choices and their impact on the environment. The author concludes by providing guidance to upcoming practitioners so that they may not make the same mistakes she previously did. She explains that during the evaluation process she is looking not only at the client and what they define as problems, but also looking at strengths, possible explanations, and areas that can be explored in more detail in order to develop a stronger hypothesis as to the root of the problem. Otherwise she risks applying a solution that doesn't solve the problem, creates other problems, and/or prevents uncovering of deeper areas of concern that are impacting the individual's life.

SUPERVISION OF ASSOCIATED HEALTH TRAINEES- VA Handbook - 0 views

    This exert is specifically from the VA handbook in regards to supervision specifically for health professionals and trainees. This resource provides a strict breakdown of the supervision requirements for supervisors and trainees. It is clear through this policy that strict guidelines are to be followed within this system and this is what I have experienced in my time there. I was intrigued however, that supervisory roles are seen as an educational experience. The following tenet was the first under supervisor regulation--" Supervision is an educational experience provided by a qualified supervising practitioner with a trainee. This relationship is evaluative, extends over time, and has the simultaneous purposes of enhancing the professional functioning of the trainee while monitoring the quality of services delivered. Supervision is provided through observation, consultation, directing the learning and activities of the trainee, and role modeling". I feel that this really stressing the educational importance of being a supervisor.

    This article discussed the effectiveness of play therapy. The article discussed the criticisms surrounding play therapy. The article found that humanistic therapy was more accepted than non-humanistic therapy. It also stated that play therapy was found to be more effective with the parents involved. I find this to be true when working with kids because it lets the parents have a chance to learn techniques and carry over into the home for better results.

    Beckie, T., Beckstead, J. (2010) aimed to study was to focus on the quality of life among women in a traditional cardiac rehabilitation program compared to those completing a tailored program that included motivational interviewing of behavior changes. The study included 252 participants over that age of 21 with myocardial infarction, Angina, CABG, and PCI were studied 3 days a week for 6 months. The participants were divided into two groups. The experimental group included the tailored program and motivational interviewing and the control group used a traditional cardiac rehabilitation program. The study had multiple limitations that included all women were of one ethnicity from a single institution in southeastern U.S. Lastly, studying the efficacy of a program like this is difficult and it is unaware to know if the treatments observed would persist beyond the 6 months. The tailored group showed a positive influence on the subjects QOL. Women with CHD may be better served by first identifying the important psychological and psychosocial variables that influence QOL.
