Occupational Profile Flashcards

Study Notes

Occupational Profile Overview

The Occupational Profile includes reasons clients seek services and their concerns regarding engagement in daily activities, including health status.
Clients may have deficits in various areas such as ADLs (Activities of Daily Living), IADLs (Instrumental Activities of Daily Living), work, leisure, health management, and social participation.
Personal situations, like moving back in with parents and loss of independence, can impact engagement and require support.

Key Inquiry Questions

Essential questions to assess client concerns include:
- How are you feeling today?
- Describe your typical daily routine.
- What significant events have influenced your current situation?

Success in Occupations and Barriers

Clients may find success in certain ADLs and leisure activities, while facing barriers such as decreased physical strength and fine motor coordination.
Successful participation can include activities like using technology and completing basic self-care tasks.
Barriers potentially impacting performance include attention difficulties, limited mobility (e.g., stairs), and environmental risks.

Occupational History

Clients’ occupational histories involve significant life events that influence current occupational capabilities.
Examples may include prior work roles, educational experiences, and family dynamics.

Personal Interests and Values

Understanding a client's personal interests, such as hobbies and social relationships, is essential for tailoring interventions.
Values may include appreciation for creativity, social connections, and work roles which significantly contribute to a client's identity and engagement in meaningful activities.

Contextual Factors Affecting Engagement

Environmental contexts include both supportive elements (like technology and family support) and inhibiting factors (such as cognitive deficits).
Personal contexts, including social supports, age, and education level, also affect engagement in desired occupations.

Performance Patterns

Performance patterns involve clients' habits, routines, roles, and rituals. Changes in these patterns can negatively impact occupational performance due to life changes.
Documenting the contrast between previous routines and current limitations is critical for understanding the client's situation.

Client Factors

Client factors encompass values, beliefs, spirituality, body structure, and body functions, all of which influence occupational engagement.
Specific examples help outline how these factors relate to clients’ abilities to participate in daily activities.

Body Functions and Structures

Clients' body functions include mental, sensory, and movement-related functions crucial for engaging in roles and activities.
Body structures relate to physical aspects that support occupational engagement, highlighting any deficits that may inhibit performance.

Strategic Inquiry for Assessing Client Factors

Inquiry about values and beliefs can provide insight into motivations and setbacks affecting engagement (e.g., core beliefs and mental health challenges).
Questions about body functions and structures help identify strengths and limitations impacting daily life activities.
