Study Notes
Level 3 Intervention
- Involves purposeful activities using compensatory strategies and adaptations to promote patient engagement.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs)
- 1 CEU equals 10 contact hours of participation in approved programs.
- An OT earns 1.6 CEUs for attending a 16-hour sensory integration course.
- A 2-hour lecture on sleep for ADLs earns the OT practitioner 0.2 CEUs.
NBCOT Certification and Professional Development Units (PDUs)
- To renew NBCOT certification, OTR® must retain PDU certificates for potential random audits.
- Renewal requires 36 PDUs within a 3-year cycle for both Registered Occupational Therapists and Certified Occupational Therapy Assistants.
- 1 PDU is earned for each hour of structured learning.
CEU to PDU Conversion
- 1 CEU converts to 10 PDUs.
- Both CEUs and PDUs are earned at the same hourly rate of 1 PDU per hour of study.
Study Types and Research
- A medical facility studying the effects of TENS on fibromyalgia patients conducts a quasi-experimental study due to convenience sampling.
- Inter-rater reliability measures the agreement among raters, with a value of 0.27 indicating poor reliability, signaling a need for review of scoring methods.
Inter-rater Reliability
- A statistical measure ranging from 0 to 1.0 that represents the consistency between different raters using the same measurement instrument.
- Poor inter-rater reliability calls for reevaluation or retraining of raters and assessment scales.
Grounded Theory Research
- In quantitative research, grounded theory involves collecting data first to draw interpretations and conclusions.
