Intervention Planning Facets-Four Facets of Occupational Therapy Intervention Planning:... - 0 views

  •  
    This AJOT article is titled Intervention Planning Facets-Four Facets of Occupational Therapy Intervention Planning: Economics, Ethics, Professional Judgment, and Evidence-Based Practice. The article discusses four basic principles of occupational therapy and offers the perspectives of occupational therapists in applying these principles to everyday practice.
  •  
    This article discussed how professional judgement, ethics, EBP, and economic constraints are interrelated in OT practice. Each need to be considered during intervention planning, however, some therapists may find this difficulty. A literature review found that overall there is a lack of evidence supporting OT practice and that it can be difficult to integrate research findings into treatment. One question mentioned was should clients be quantified and reduced to variables as each person is unique?. Practitioners need to remember that research provides guidance for interventions, rather than step by step how-tos. It is up to the OT to use their judgment and experience to incorporate it.

Clinical Reasoning Case Studies as Teaching Tools - 0 views

  •  
    This article is from the American Journal of Occupational Therapy. I felt that it went along with our discussion about becoming fieldwork educators in the future. This study researches the effectiveness of case studies that influence clinical reasoning vs, typical educational case studies. This study goes into depth about clinical reasoning and how it influences educational experiences of students. The research participants, OT students, were asked to complete intervention plans based on client needs and in response to both the medical model of clinical reasoning and paper case study educational methods of learning. Information was qualitatively reviewed to analyze the intervention plans and videotaped discussions were used to guide clinical reasoning process/learning experience. The results showed that clinical reasoning case studies, compared to traditional case studies, promoted three main themes including increased quality of intervention plans, participant confidence levels in treatment plans, and enhanced understanding of the clinical reasoning process. This study is important for FEs and educators to increase clinical reasoning process of students as well as interventions for clients.

Ethics, occupational therapy and discharge planning: four broken principles. - 0 views

  •  
    This article looks at autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and justice in relation to the moral basis of discharge planning with patients. Researchers utilized a case study research design and direct observation. They concluded that often OT's are breaking these 4 principles and in turn our ethics and code of conduct. It suggests we determine how to fix these problems and implement ethics in the classroom more.

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.

Evidence-Based Practice - AOTA - 0 views

    OT should be science driven and therapists should be able to apply the most up to date evidence to their practice and treatment plans. This resource provided by AOTA helps to breakdown evidence supported interventions that have been shown to improve client outcomes in a variety of different settings/populations. Evidence supported ideas are provided for pediatrics, specifically early childhood, mental health, sensory integration and sensory processing. It is also provided for gerontology, rehabilitation and disability, adults with serious mental illness, and work. This is a good resource if you need a starting point for a treatment plan to give general ideas of EBP.

    Atwal, A., & Caldwell, K. (2003). Ethics, occupational therapy and discharge planning: Four broken principles. Australian Occupational Therapy Journal, 50(4), 244-251. This article examines ethical dilemmas occupational therapists may face during discharge planning. Data was collected from ten occupational therapists to determine how well therapists are able to follow the ethical principles of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. Researchers found that the therapists in this study unintentionally breached these four principles. The authors speculate that a push for speedy discharges leaves many therapists facing ethical dilemmas. The authors offer solutions for eliminating breaches of each of the four ethical principles listed above. They suggest that utilizing a multidisciplinary approach may offer a means of discussing ethical concerns so that practitioners are better able to provide ethical care.

Supervision - 1 views

    AOTA. Occupational Therapy Assistant Supervision Requirements. This AOTA document summarizes laws for supervision of COTAs by state. I compared some of the supervision laws of Ohio and Kentucky because I will most likely be working in one or both of these states. As I read through the specific laws for each of these states, I was surprised by the differences. For practitioners living near the border of multiple states, being well-versed in specific state laws will be essential for protecting our licensure. I summarized just a couple specific laws of these two states to give you a better idea of how they may differ state to state. This is a very important document to keep handy, and it goes into much more detail than what I've provided here. In Kentucky, supervising OTs must provide no less than 4 hours per month of general supervision for each COTA, which must include no less than 2 hours per month of face-to-face supervision. This law is more specific in Ohio. In Ohio, OTs must provide supervision at least once a week for all COTAs who are in their first year of practice. The OT must provide supervision at least once a month for COTAs beyond their first year of practice. Ohio law specifies that co-signing client documentation alone does not meet the minimum level of supervision. Supervision is specified as an interactive process that includes review of the following: client assessment, client reassessment, treatment/intervention plan, intervention, and discontinuation of treatment/intervention plan. In Kentucky, OTs may not have more than the equivalent of 3 full time COTAs under supervision at any 1 time. In Ohio, the number of COTAs an OT can supervise varies based upon the OTs job duties. If the OT performs evaluations, direct treatment, and supervision of OT personally, an OT may supervise up to 4 COTAs. However, if the OT does NOT provide direct treatment, the OT may supervise up to 6 COTAs.

    This article discusses the moral basis of discharge planning in terms of autonomy, beneficence, non-malificence and justice. The article discovered that OTs are unintentionally breaking these 4 principles and therefore their code of ethics and professional conduct. It gives quotes from clients about the session and is an interesting read on a dry subject, IMO.
