Supervision of Occupational Therapy Level II Fieldwork Students: Impact on and Predicto... - 1 views

shared by gentiledj09 on 06 Aug 16 - No Cached
  •  
    This study was particularly interesting considering we are currently paired with clinicians during our level II rotations. The study aimed to determine whether a difference in productivity exists between clinicians supervising and not supervising a Level II occupational therapy student and whether factors including clinician years of experience, practice setting, and clinician productivity without a student could predict clinician productivity while supervising a student. Results indicated no difference in clinician productivity with or without a student. Clinician years of experience, practice area, and productivity without a student were significant predictors of clinician productivity while supervising a student. Study results contradict the belief that supervising Level II fieldwork students lowers clinicians' productivity. Findings suggest that practice area and productivity without a student are important factors influencing the productivity of clinicians supervising a fieldwork student.

Effectiveness of School-Based Occupational Therapy Intervention on Handwriting - 1 views

  •  
    In this study, 38 students between the ages 7-10 who showed poor handwriting legibility were observed over the course of one school year. 29 of the students received regular occupational therapy services, 9 received no services. Each student was evaluated at the beginning and end of the school year in the areas of Visual-motor, visual-perception, in-hand manipulation, handwriting legibility, and speed. Students who received occupational therapy services showed more improvement in in-hand manipulation, position in space scores, and handwriting legibility scores than those students who did not receive occupational therapy services. Students who received occupational therapy services increased legibility with an average of 14.2%. Students who did not receive occupational therapy services increased legibility with an average of only 5.8%. However, students who did not receive occupational therapy services had more improved handwriting speed than those who did receive services. Overall, one may conclude that students with poor handwriting legibility who receive occupational therapy services will improve their handwriting legibility skills but not necessarily their ability to write with increased speed. During my fieldwork experience in the school system I was able to work with many students on handwriting goals. Regular occupational therapy can greatly improve a student's handwriting abilities. I saw positive results with many of my students after only 12 weeks of intervention.

Case Simulations to Discover Clinical Reasoning Skills in Occupational Therapy Students - 0 views

  •  
    This study was conducted in order to grasp a better understanding of occupational therapy students' level of clinical reasoning skills at varying stages of learning during the course of their schooling. Based on study results, all of the students in their first year, 70% of students in their second year, and 20% of students in their third year demonstrated pre-reflective thinking. Furthermore, no first or second year students and only 20% of third year students were able to function at a level of reflective thinking. This study provides great insight for clinical instructors, allowing instructors to be more attuned to their students learning needs and better equipping them to develop clinical reasoning skills necessary in order to provide patient-centered care. Clinical instructors who are working with individuals in the pre-reflective thinking stage should encourage their students to voice their own opinions and justify their rationale, as well as consider others opinions, and should be given feedback in order to improve their confidence and encourage further development of clinical reasoning skills.

The Student-Centered Fieldwork Instructor - 0 views

  •  
    AOTA previously published fieldwork educators/clinical instructor's behaviors that we cited by students that assist with developing as an educator. To be a successful educator, OT students believe that one must be enthusiastic and believing fieldwork is an educational opportunitity as well as creating a foundation and expectations for the teaching-learning process. Fieldwork educators assists students in identifying and understanding what is important to learn during the rotation as well as having open and consistant communication regarding performance areas. To be successful, students believe clinical instructors need to encourage students to utilizing problem-solving strategies and clinical reasoning when developing intervention approaches. It is important to provide students with open communication which encourages students to ask questions and providing them with precise answers. Lastly, a successful clinical instructor will provide constructive feedback in a timely manner.

Tips for Fieldwork Success on ADVANCE for Occupational Therapy Practitioners - 1 views

  •  
    An occupational therapy student's fieldwork experience has the ability to affect their want to continue in the OT or question their career choice. Because fieldwork plays a major part in the student's future, this article discusses the roles the clinical instructor and students play in making the clinical experience successful. In order to be an effective clinical instructor all expectations must be clearly identified and discussed the first week of the rotation, as well as weekly debriefing with the student. Clinical instructors must communicate to their students the level of supervision that will be provided to them throughout the rotation as well as how and when it will change. If supervision expectations are not clearly defined, students are left to assume the wants and needs of their clinical instructor often causing them to fail due to the lack of communication. In addition, clinical instructors must provide students with their expectations for treatment, discuss the dress-code, and treat the student with the respect you would give your colleague. Lastly, to be a successful clinical instructor discuss with the student concerning goals that aren't being met and provide them with written general guidelines the assist with any miscommunications of the CI and student relationship. As students, we must provide professional behavior, be organized, and facilitate our own learning through research.

    This link is to a tool designed to assist FW educators in understanding the scoring aspect of the FWPE by providing behavioral expectations of the OT student. The information is organized by performance area. Evaluations and Screening, and Intervention are the two performance areas addressed in this link. Specific items for each performance area are then defined by the 1-4 point rating scale with behavioral examples as guidance. This tool is also a great guide for students in self-assessment of clinical reasoning skills. As we know, self-reflection is a key element of professional growth. This is a tool I plan to use occasionally during my FW to ensure competence in clinical reasoning.
  •  
    This source talks about clinical reasoning of OT students who are completing their fieldwork rotations. The author discusses behavioral objectives for 2 out of the 7 performance areas: Evaluation and Screening and Intervention. I believe this is a good resource for students on fieldwork.

    The purpose of this document is to provide occupational therapy fieldwork educators with a description of behavioral expectations of students at each level on the one to four point rating scale of the FWPE

Perceptions Regarding School-Based Occupational Therapy for Children With Emotional Dis... - 0 views

  •  
    This study is of particular interest to me after completing my fieldwork in a school system. I had the chance to work with many students who presented with emotional disturbances. I never worked with students based solely on goals associated with these emotional disturbances, but observed and attempted to proved treatment for their emotional disturbances after first working toward their school based goals. Typically these disturbances presented themselves as depression, aggression, and irritability. It was heartbreaking to look around the school and see how many students were affected by some form of emotional disturbances. Unfortunately as a school OT I was only to focus on goals that would make the student more functional in school (such as handwriting) and never had the ability to write goals base on a student's emotions. I believe that there is a great need for occupational therapists to focus on writing goals to provide interventions to students with emotional disturbances. In my setting there were not enough OT's/COTA's to work with all of the students who had emotional disturbances because there were so many students who first required school based interventions. This study suggests that more evidence-based research is needed to help school therapists work with children with emotional disturbances. I hope that eventually there will be a place for OT's in this area.

  •  
    This article examines the supervisors' perspective of the benefits and challenges that are faced when supervising an OT student during their fieldwork. This article highlights several components that we need to consider as we enter the profession and are able to supervise students on their level I and level II fieldwork experiences.
  •  
    As we will most likely all be asked one day if we wish to take on a fieldwork student, this article is good to bring up some of the positives as well as downsides associated with being a fieldwork educator. It can certainly be a rewarding and educating experience for both student and supervisor and I feel like we owe it to the profession to take on a student.
