Clinical Reasoning in general terms - 1 views
-
This PDF document serves as an instructor's resource to clinical reasoning, why it is important, as well as the process to implement clinical reasoning into practice. The resource was written for nurses but can apply to occupational therapists as well. According to the authors, clinical reasoning describes the process by which occupational therapy practitioners collect cues, process information, come to an understanding concerning a patient's problem/situation, develop a plan and implement interventions, evaluate the outcomes, and lastly reflect and learn from the experience. Within healthcare, clinical reasoning is vital because those with effective clinical reasoning skills are better able to detect impending deterioration in patients and are also able to pinpoint what is impacting their ability to function at their prior level. This two skills enable therapists to provide more effective treatment and often they receive better functional outcomes from their patients. The clinical reasoning cycle outlined in this resource begins by considering the patient and their situation. The occupational therapist must then collect cues/information from the patient, their family, and the environment itself. The therapist must then process the information, identify the problems, establish therapy goals, take action through treatment intervention, and evaluate treatment outcomes. The final step includes reflecting on the process and learning from any mistakes or misconceptions in order to grow and mold into a more experienced clinician. -
This is an instructional pdf file that discusses clinical reasoning in general terms, why clinical reasoning skills are important for health care personnel, examples and practical applications of clinical reasoning, and critical thinking habits to apply to one's everyday practice.

The Role of Occupational Therapy in Psychosocial Interventions - 3 views
-
Alberta College of Occupational Therapists. (2009). The role of occupational therapy in psychosocial interventions.1-6 This is a helpful resource created by the Alberta College of Occupational Therapists to help explain the role of occupational therapy in psychosocial interventions. The resource states that psychosocial interventions are within the scope of practice for occupational therapists and it essentially lays out an in-depth explanation of psychosocial needs, interventions and how they are applied within occupational therapy. The resource defines psychosocial and makes recommendations for occupational therapists in their application of these types of interventions. There is a background provided as well as different assessment and intervention approaches that can be used in regard to psychosocial intervention. This area really focuses on the psychosocial needs of clients and how therapists can assist individuals to develop and maintain function where they need to. Intervention plans consider the demands of activities (cognitive, physical, functional or relational) and individuals' physical and emotional abilities to participate. The plans also reflect the individuals' personal needs and preferences, spirituality, cultural context, signs and symptoms, risk factors, and capabilities (emotional, affective, cognitive and physical).
