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.

As individuals age, communication often times becomes more difficult due to loss of hearing and eye sight. This PDF document provides information in a classroom format, with learning objectives and simple follow-up questions, to help students and clinicians alike to better understand the psychosocial needs of older adults. The document discusses how our views on aging also impact the patient that we are encountering on a daily basis. It is our task to provide the resources needed to these individuals to gain satisfaction and a sense of wellbeing. Lastly, the document provides ideas and information of alternate ways of thinking, communicating, as well as myths both positive and negative to better assist us in our learning process.

This PDF document was part of a training course provided by Kansas Association of Homes and Services for the Aging. This particular document outlines various psychosocial needs of the elderly, and various strategies health care professionals can utilize to help provide more person-centered care. Psychosocial needs/issues can arise as a result of the many changes that can occur during older adulthood. This article outlines seven changes that frequently occur in older adulthood that can present potential issues when individuals do not adjust to the changes. For instance, family changes occur as parents who used to care for their children are now being cared for by their children. Individuals may face retirement, and no longer have a sense of who they are without a job title. Older adults may experience an awareness of their mortality as loved ones die and their health declines. Individuals may lose their spouse and companion. Fear of loss of independence may set in as persons experience a decline in health and their physical abilities. Poor adjustment to changes in income after retirement can trigger psychosocial issues. Finally, loneliness may occur as children become busy, older adults do not drive, and spouses and friends die. All of these various factors can create psychosocial needs within a person's life. This article does a great job at not only defining why psychosocial issues may be present within this population, but also provides strategies to help older adults find joy in their lives again and help address their psychosocial needs. For instance, the article focuses on building on lifelong interests and offering new activities that an individual can engage in for pleasure.

This study compared the perceptions of occupational therapists and their clients regarding their actual level of involvement in the process of client-centered practice. The occupational therapists claimed to use client-centered practice in their daily services; however, their clients had mixed perceptions about client-centered practice in their daily care and all responded that they were unaware of this approach.

Descrpition of Dementia Caregiver Uplifts and Implications for Occupational Therapy - 1 views

This study examined the role of OT and how they can assist caregivers who care for those with dementia. Most OT interventions for caregivers are designed to reduce negative consequences of caregiving by building skills to manage those problems. Caregivers often face depression, stress, work overload, and caregiver burden when they can no longer care for their loves ones anymore. This study examined 15 caregivers who were caring for their spouses and their caregiver duties were analyzed and observed. Ways OT can educate those caregivers are by training them to engage in positive behaviors and making adjustments in their attitudes. Taking this approach as a caregiver will promote positive thinking and acts as they care for their loved ones.

The aim of this study was to determine if occupational therapy level 2 students clinical reasoning skills would be impacted at all based upon the level of feedback given from their fieldwork supervisor. Data was collected via focus groups with students, and looked at the type of feedback students received about their clinical reasoning, and how they experienced their feedback. The study compared type of feedback with final exam grades, end of term grades, and academic performance to draw conclusions. Specifically, feedback can be either confirmation and/or corrective, and corrective feedback could be with or without suggestions on how to improve. Overall, the study found that clinical reasoning skills seem to improve through corrective feedback if accompanied by suggestions on how to improve, and the students who did better on their exams received corrective feedback about their clinical reasoning skills. Thus, confirmative feedback alone may not be the best for improving students' clinical reasoning skills.

Home modifications aim to enhance safety and occupational performance in the home. However, given the complexity and unique meaning of the home, they can impact aspects other than function. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore the impact of home modifications on clients and their family's experience of home. The study found that home modifications impacted positively and negatively on five dimensions of the home environment, the personal, occupational, physical, temporal and social dimension. The outcomes of the modifications and the home modification process were influenced by three themes, workmanship, consultation or involvement in decision-making, and the societal dimension of the home environment. Conclusions: The negative outcomes and poor consultation experiences suggest the need for occupational therapists to understand their client's personal experience of home and to comprehensively follow-up and evaluate these following home modifications.

This articles stands behind my feelings that group occupational therapy as effective. The article how as parkinson's disorder progresses many patients begin to lose their ability to complete their daily activities and must begin to depend on their spouse or caregivers. The article completed a trial which had an experimental and control group which were evaluated pre-treatment and post-treatment again at 6 months and 1 year after group occupational therapy. What they found was that the experimental group maintained their functional status and psychosocial well-being 1 year post therapy compared to the control group. Participants in the experimental group even showed signs of decreased bradykinesia. Overall, this article supports the use of group occupational therapy for patients living with Parkinson's. The 5 week sessions focused on general mobilization activities, a rest break with socialization, and then dexterity focus. I really enjoy how they incorporate a socialization piece because I have noticed at my facility how many patient begin to slow down their processing when communicating and this would give them the time to talk with others who also need the appropriate time to process what they want to say!
