    This qualitative study adds to the limited knowledge of OT practitioners in the rural settings.The study gave view points that OT's in the rural setting are not just generalists. This search went under the category of professionalism as this is a behavior that changes with the setting and population that you deal with.

    This test could be used in acute care. This assessment offers a hospital version (MET_HV) that would be appropriate in the VA setting. This test was developed for use with a wider range of participants than the original version; it has more concrete rules, simplification of task demands and space provided on the instruction sheet for the patient to record the information they were to collect. There are 12 separate subtasks within four sets of simple tasks. These four task sets are as follows: 1. The patient must complete six specific errands (purchase 3 items, use the phone, collect and envelope from reception and send a letter to an external address), 2. The patient must obtain and write down four items of designated information (e.g. the opening time of a shop on Saturday), 3. The patient must meet the assessor outside of the hospital reception in 20 minutes after the test had begun and state the time, 4. The client must inform the assessor when he/she finishes the test. The test cannot be administered to patients confined to bed due to the nature of the questions. The test would be difficult to complete on patients instructed to only get up with help as they would have to have a nurse available at the time they need to meet some of the task requirements. Both validity and reliability have been established for this test for various populations (see citation for specifics).

assessments inpatient care

    This assessment is based on observation of a patient in a more natural environment/setting and looks at if they initiate expected activities such as, turning off appliances, closing doors when they leave, doing dishes, prepping dinner.. etc within 15 min of expected time. This is looked at and recorded each day of the week. In acute care this is just not very applicable, as we don't watch patients all day, every day of the week and the Vets are in an unfamiliar setting where they likely won't initiate such activities even if cognition is unimpaired. Even the activities that do occur in the hospital setting, such as eating lunch, don't apply very well because the score is acquired by adding up how they did each day of the week and it is not very practical to see a patient every day for the entirety of their lunch for a week straight. This may be a nice assessment for the nursing home to use in some instances.

    This article describes the challenges that OTs face when treating the whole person in an acute care setting. It is difficult to have other disciplines understand in this setting that mental gains are just as important if not more important to work on in this type of setting. A recent pt had a stroke and was high functioning before...pt had been in inpatient rehab for two weeks and treatment sessions weren't improving d/t mental state. Pt got a decent discharge date and therapy goals were attained in no time!

Long-Term Care of the Aged: Ethical Dilemmas and Solutions - 0 views

    This article examines ethical issues in long-term care. One key component of solving ethical issues in long-term care settings is continually reexamining the beliefs and assumptions of the elderly in this setting and how occupational therapy services will affect them. One area that we must consider to make ethical decisions is the changes in medical technology and the demographics of the residents in these long-term care settings. The next point the article discusses is the concept of autonomy and how the current autonomy paradigm is poorly suited to guide occupational therapy's decisions regarding older adults in long-term care. The concepts of autonomy inadequately describe the realities of aging populations according to this article. The third concept is to create a new approach of autonomy by consulting the individual and taking into account the elderly's freedoms while they are residing in long-term care facilities. Another model that must be incorporated into developing ethical guidelines for long-term care settings is the partnership model, which states that family and important resources should be included in the daily living activities and critical health care decisions of the residents. Approaching occupational therapy with these concepts in mind will allow for better quality of care and increased ethical guidance.

    In this letter to the editor in AJOT, an OT working in a mental health setting describes the difficulty of proving the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of OT in mental health. When asked to provide such evidence at her work place, even with the help of some of the prominent mental health OTs she was unable to find enough research. She makes a call for those interested in the mental health profession to begin to do more research in the area in order to protect OTs role in the setting.

    This article focusing on techniques that can be used to develop clinical reasoning for Occupational Therapy students and new practitioners, in which it argues is the basis of all occupational therapy treatment. The article presents that using case studies within the classroom setting provides the ability for students to clinically reason, problem solve and develop treatment skills in a controlled way. It suggests using guiding questions based on student weakness that will promote growth and creativity in developing clinical reasoning skills. This article must have some merit because case studies have been used and continue to be used in a variety of classroom settings to this day including our own.

    This article is the AOTA's position on how to set professional boundaries with patients. The article provides examples of ethical documents within the the profession of OT, such as the Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics Standards. It then goes on to define professional boundaries and how to set them. Case study examples are provided for how to set professional boundaries, in a variety of contexts.

    This is a great article pertaining directly to ethics of occupational therapy practitioners in skilled nursing facilities. The article clearly defines each ethical principal outlined in the AOTA code of ethics and how they relate to practice. The article then has several case studies that give specific ethical dilemmas and solve the dilemma with evidence from the AOTA ethical principals. One specif case study explained how it was unethical to treat a family member to do potential violations of justice and fairness.
