Anxiety, depression and perceived control in patients having coronary artery bypass gr... - 0 views

  •  
    This study aimed to determine the course of anxiety, depression, and perceptions of control, along with the influence of perception of control in patients undergoing CABG before surgery and after surgery, along with two weeks post discharge. The study included 231 participants having CABG surgery were conveniently recruited from two hospitals in Sydney, Australia. Patients took a series of questionnaires before surgery, after surgery, and two weeks post discharge. The questionnaires asked questions on anxiety and depression and were measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Control Attitudes Scale. Limitations of the study included the use of a convenient sample and loss of participants for the second and third interview. The results showed perceptions of control were moderate before surgery and improved once the surgery was completed, and again in early recovery in the second week after patients had gone home. Perceptions of control are important because they had a positive influence on concurrent anxiety and depression at all times.

  •  
    The tree theme method (TTM) is an interventions that utilizes drawing/painting trees symbolic of different periods in a patient's life. These artwork creations are then used to begin sharing life stories. This study investigated the long-term effects of TTM upon self-perceptions of well-being and occupational performance. Outcomes of the study indicate that the TTM may be beneficial to patients' well-being and performance of everyday occupations.

    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 study compared perceptions of cognitive related symptoms of individuals with multiple sclerosis and their primary caregivers. They found that there was a noticeable disagreement between the two. Educating the caregivers is something that is often overlooked and this is extremely important for occupational therapists to consider due to the progressive nature of the disease.

  •  
    This study identified practitioner qualities and traits that clients with brain injury see as important. Three themes regarding practitioner qualities emerged from the data: (a) roles of the provider, (b) perceived helpfulness of services, and (c) personal characteristics of the providers. Beneficial provider roles included advocate, friend, mentor, and team member. Perceptions of helpfulness of the services included relevance, meaningfulness, practical application, skill development potential, and whether periodic feedback on progress was provided. Personal characteristics of the provider valued by the participants were clear and honest communicator, supportive, respectful, good listener, and understanding.

Ethics, occupational therapy and discharge - 1 views

  •  
    OT's play a significant role in the discharge process and are often exposed to ethically challenging decision-making. This paper examines the moral basis of discharge planning, relating it to the four fundamental bio-ethical principles of respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice. Using a case study design, data was collected from 10 occupational therapists and two elder care patients using the critical incident approach, as part of a wider study to determine their perceptions of discharge planning and multidisciplinary teamwork. Direct observation of interaction within multidisciplinary teams was also undertaken. This study suggests that occupational therapists are unintentionally breaching a set of principles laid out in the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct. It is suggested that occupational therapists should further utilize multidisciplinary teams as a place where they can speak about their ethical concerns so that they are able to be effective client centered practitioners.
