Introduction:The Care Act (2014) requires local authorities to provide reablement services but does not standardise how to do this, leading to different services utilising different outcome measures. This article investigates the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure, which has been under researched in community reablement settings.Method:A questionnaire was distributed to the staff working within one local authority to seek their experience of using the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure. The questionnaire consisted of closed and open-ended questions to gain insights into their understanding and experience of the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure.Findings:Quantitative findings showed that staff felt they understood the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure, and most respondents agreed that the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure was an effective tool for reablement services. However, staff provided contradictory responses as to whether the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure was applied consistently or that service users understand the assessment.Qualitative:Findings showed the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure is a service user tool, service provider tool, and it provides quality assurance. However, the Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure can have restricted applicability and within this local authority, more training was needed to improve the consistency of goal-scoring.Conclusion:The Morriston Occupational Therapy Outcome Measure does have strengths within reablement services; however, to ensure it is an effective tool, this research highlights the need for a high level of training.

Introduction:Constraint-induced movement therapy has been shown to be effective in a sub-group of sub-acute stroke survivors but has not been widely implemented in the United Kingdom. This study explored therapist and stroke survivor perceptions and experiences of constraint-induced movement therapy and explored the non-agreement (incongruence) and agreement (congruence) of these perspectives.Method:Consenting occupational therapists ( n = 3) and physiotherapist ( n = 5) participated in a focus group discussion. Four-stroke survivors undertook pre- and post-constraint-induced movement therapy interviews. Stroke survivor participants selected and undertook an evidence-based constraint-induced movement therapy protocol. Focus groups and interview audio recordings were independently analysed thematically. Therapist and stroke survivor views were subsequently synthesised using meta-ethnographic principles.Findings:Four over-arching themes were identified: motivation and determination to participate in constraint-induced movement therapy; who benefits; which protocol; making constraint-induced movement therapy feasible. The final over-arching theme comprised five sub-themes: fatigue and sleep; pain; transport; need for support; training, support and mentorship for therapists. Stroke survivors and therapists held contrasting views on three themes.Conclusion:Participating stroke survivors successfully undertook a self-selected, evidence-based constraint-induced movement therapy protocol. The identified enablers and barriers should inform future constraint-induced movement therapy protocol development. The contrasting views held by therapists and stroke survivors reinforce the need for collaborative communication and opportunity for choice during constraint-induced movement therapy.

Despite the widely accepted importance of clinician empathy in quality healthcare, no occupational therapy-based pedagogy has consistently demonstrated the ability to improve the level of empathic awareness in students. In an effort to replicate 2020 findings that demonstrated the close reading of literary narratives improves empathic awareness in occupational therapy students ( p < 0.001), the study’s curriculum and methodology were repeated in 2021 and 2022. Results demonstrated that classes taught fully in-person repeated findings ( p < 0.001), while classes taught online (2021) did not ( p > 0.001). Study implications include the potential of an in-person curriculum that emphasizes literary narratives to facilitate empathic awareness in occupational therapy students, and the possible limitations of online instruction to foster greater understanding of client needs.

Introduction:This paper explores the impact that early-stage dementia has on everyday activities from the perspective of people living with dementia, their supporters and occupational therapy practitioners.Method:People living with dementia and their supporters ( n = 10), and occupational therapy practitioners ( n = 21) took part in semi-structured interviews, with transcripts analysed thematically.Findings:Six primary themes were identified across participants, namely: (1) ‘Everybody seems to be different, [but] they are similar’; (2) An awareness of change: ‘Something’s not quite right’; (3) ‘ Changes’ and ‘ difficulties’ associated with complex and unfamiliar activities; (4) Social withdrawal and exclusion: ‘I’ve felt like I was a leper’; (5) Post-diagnostic mental health: ‘. . . a dark place’; and (6) A process of adaptation: ‘I’m still who I am, I can still do things. . .’Conclusion:Findings indicate that occupational therapy intervention programmes for people living with early-stage dementia should target difficulties associated with a broad range of activity types, and include components that target mental health and motivational needs. The study adds to existing knowledge about the need to personally tailor interventions to ensure that they meet individual needs, experiences, and circumstances. Findings will inform the development of an occupational therapy intervention programme theory (theory of change) for early-stage dementia.

Introduction:Occupational recovery for people living with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome requires better assessment and understanding of the occupational impact of this debilitating condition. This study explores the lived experience of Australian adults with myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome using the Model of Human Occupation.Methods:The research design was a cross-sectional descriptive study, and participants were recruited via social media to complete an online survey. A Model of Human Occupation Tool, The Occupational Self-Assessment, captured an individual’s perceptions of occupational identity and competence.Results:Results were analysed using descriptive statistics and non-parametric tests. The free-text responses were summarised. Twenty-nine participants completed the Occupational Self-Assessment. A decrease in occupational participation across all domains was evident. Qualitative themes of loneliness, feeling confined, feeling like a burden and loss of previous life/roles were collated, showing an adverse impact on occupational identity. A lack of independence and control showed a reduction in occupational competence.Conclusions:The study confirmed the impact of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome on occupational identity and competence. These individuals struggled with occupational adaptation and would benefit from occupational support. Occupational therapists could use the Occupational Self-Assessment to identify areas of need, set goals and facilitate better occupational adaptation.

Introduction:Living with dementia can be challenging, even more so for people diagnosed before age 65. Loss of identity is one of the main subjective consequences dementia poses at this stage in life due to the loss of social relations and daily activities. While a growing body of research is reporting the experienced impact of early-onset dementia on identity for this group, studies synthesizing this knowledge are very limited. Therefore, we have conducted a meta-ethnographic review to explain how people with early-onset dementia form their sense of identity.Method:A systematic review of literature from five databases was conducted. Ten original studies published between 2004 and 2020 were included and analyzed using an interpretive approach.Findings:A conceptual interpretation emerged from the analysis, showing that social arenas and activities of daily life, as well as assumptions about dementia and natural aging made by the participants and society, influenced the participants’ sense of identity.Conclusion:Being in nonjudgmental environments can support people with early-onset dementia in creating continuity and positive connections in their personal history. Providing such environments can be a viable venue for healthcare professionals to support people with early-onset dementia in maintaining a positive sense of identity.

Introduction:Research suggests that services are not effectively providing suitable assistive technology for people with dementia. There is a need to understand the challenges facing practitioners to identify where service changes should be focussed to improve this situation.Method:This study used an online survey to explore the experiences of 41 occupational therapists working with people with dementia, and/or assistive technology. Eight participants subsequently agreed to participate in online discussion groups. Group discussions were transcribed and checked. Data responses from group discussions and open questions in the survey were analysed thematically using the person-centred framework to identify domains supporting or obstructing effective assistive technology service delivery.Results:Forty-one occupational therapist participants described challenges to providing person-centred assistive technology services. These included restricted access to assistive technology interventions, limited knowledge regarding developments in the field, variable funding, unsupportive systems, limited relevant training and difficulties working across health and social care sectors.Conclusion:There is a need to revise the systems surrounding the provision of assistive technology for people with dementia. Occupational therapists need access to training relative to this field, and systems need to be adapted to support the provision of person-centred care by widening access to assistive technology.

Introduction:The growing aging population requires the development of new policies and programs to meet the needs and expectations of the elderly. Identifying priorities for the elderly’s quality of life can be the foundation for rehabilitation services provided to the elderly. This study aims to assess the quality of life priorities in the elderly using the Turkish-adapted Mayers’ Lifestyle Questionnaire (3).Method:The study included 171 elderly with a mean age of 74.72 ± 4.36 years. Participants completed a sociodemographic information form and the Turkish-Adapted Mayers’ Lifestyle Questionnaire (3).Results:Quality of life priorities for elderly people were independence in reading and writing, participation in paid and/or voluntary work, spiritual, and satisfying activities, and the ability to make choices about their lives.Conclusion:The study results showed that Mayers’ Lifestyle Questionnaire (3) supports setting priorities by examining the quality of life of elderly people from a multidimensional perspective. The use of Mayers’ Lifestyle Questionnaire (3) can contribute to the development of effective strategies aimed at improving the quality of life for elderly individuals. A holistic approach to each factor affecting quality of life will enable occupational therapists and other professionals involved with elderly people to consider person-centered factors in their interventions.

Introduction:Entrepreneurial orientation is a critical factor in the success of an organization and encourages higher performance. Individual entrepreneurial orientation can be influenced by organizational commitment and perceived organizational support. The study aimed to examine the relationship between occupational therapists’ organizational commitment, perceived organizational support levels, and their individual entrepreneurial orientation.Method:Using an online form, a cross-sectional survey study was conducted with 88 occupational therapists aged between 22 and 28. Occupational therapists completed a socio-demographic information form, the Organizational Commitment Scale, the Perceived Organizational Support Scale, and the Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis.Results:Significant positive correlations were found between occupational therapists’ individual entrepreneurial orientations and organizational commitment ( p = 0.015; r = 0.260) and perceived organizational support ( p = 0.045; r = 0.214).Conclusion:This study indicates that occupational therapists’ individual entrepreneurial orientation increases when their levels of organizational commitment and perceived organizational support increase. Therefore, organizations should strive to maintain high levels of organizational commitment and the support provided by the organization to enhance the entrepreneurial orientation of occupational therapists, which is important for their creativity and innovation.

Therefore, organizations should strive to maintain high levels of organizational commitment and the support provided by the organization to enhance the entrepreneurial orientation of occupational therapists, which is important for their creativity and innovation.","PeriodicalId":49096,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"203 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140615702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
