Study Notes

Occupational Adaptation Practice Model (OA)

Occupational adaptation is a normal process occurring throughout life.
Disruptions can occur during periods of transition or stress, leading to dysfunction.
The goal of intervention is to restore the process and enable engagement in preferred life roles.
This model integrates occupation and adaptation as a single phenomenon within the person.
Focus is on the person's internal adaptation and use of meaningful occupations rather than outward performance measures.
Occupational adaptation emphasizes the individual, environment, and their interaction.
Intervention aims to meet individual needs for greater efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction.

Definitions

Occupation: Activities characterized by participation, meaning to the person, and product.
Adaptation: Functional state change in response to movement toward mastery of occupational challenges.
Occupational adaptation (state): Competency in occupational functioning.
Occupational adaptation (process): Interaction between the person and environment when facing occupational challenges.

Assumptions

Assumption 1: Occupation provides the means for adaptation to changing needs/conditions; the desire for participation in occupation is the motivating force for adaptation.
Assumption 2: Occupational adaptation is a normative process, especially during transition periods.
Assumption 3: Occupational responses involve systems (e.g., work, play, leisure, self-maintenance).
Assumption 4: The desire for mastery motivates adaptive responses to occupational challenges.

Occupational Environment Subsystems

Occupational environments include contexts like work, play, leisure, and self-maintenance.
These have three systems: physical, social, and cultural

Person Subsystems

The person is viewed through the sensorimotor, cognitive, and psychosocial systems.

Occupational Adaptation Subprocesses

Adaptive response generation: Generating a response to occupational challenges, considering role expectations & energy (primary & secondary). This considers adaptive response modes & behaviors.
Adaptation response evaluation: Assessing the adapted response, determining if it leads to relative mastery. Evaluation considers efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction with the outcome.
Adaptation response integration: Learning and modifying systems based on successful adaptive responses. If a response works, it is stored and used again. This is based on learning and experience.
