This webpage gives its reader a quick guide for professionalism in the healthcare field. The page states to be a team player, which means working with COTA, PTs, PTAs, SLP, Nurses, STNAs, Physicians, and all hospital staff to ensure the best care given to the patient. The page then mentions dressing professionally and being on time. These are staples of professionalism for any career however being on time could also mean good time management to ensure that you see your patients on schedule. I know time management is a big aspect of the job at my current clinical setting. The article mentions being honest which is extremely important in the healthcare field as dishonesty can lead to fraud, abuse, and malpractice. The article then goes on to talk about focusing on work at work and respecting others, both of which are excellent staples of professionalism in any field.
Executive Dysfunction and Depressive Symptoms Associated With Reduced Participation of ... - 0 views

The findings of this article showed that those with CHF reported significant reductions in participation in all four domains. The main domain was activity retention (leisure, IADLs and social). Results for depression, cognition, and participation showed that those with CHF have functioning problems and depressive symptoms were present. However, there was no correlation between memory and attention performance. This study was limited to the sample size because it was less than 30. It also stated few participants did not complete the study because of fatigue and scheduling issues, but it never stated how many dropped out. This may affect population validity of the study because it is unknown if there was mortality. Also, the 27 subjects used were all from the same hospital (convenient sample) and this may also pose a threat to population validity. The results of the study suggest that management of CHF should expand in focus from physical functioning and physically demanding activities to consider cognitive and psychological functioning in the context of all life situations. Occupational therapy can play a vital role in helping those with CHF and their psychosocial impairments (decreasing depression), while getting them back into the community and functioning in their everyday tasks, which may also reduce symptoms of depression. I used this article because the facility I'm at now admits a lot of cardiac patients and many have depressive symptoms as they are recovering from their cardiac impairments and returning to their everyday lives in the community.
