Study Notes

Foundations of Theory

The foundation of theory is based on assumptions.
Theories help describe, explain, and predict various situations.

Purpose and Function of Theory

Theories define concepts, describe phenomena, correlate variables, explain reasons, predict outcomes, and evaluate effectiveness.

Systems Theory

Founded by Ludwig von Bertalanffy, a Hungarian biologist.
Emphasizes the interconnection between humanity and the physical environment, contrasting reductionism with holism.
Focuses on the relationships and arrangements of parts rather than individual components.

Occupational Therapy Dynamics

The client-therapist relationship operates through cyclical phases: Evaluation, Intervention, and Outcome, all viewed as interrelated.

Mosey's Occupational Theory Loop

Progresses from Philosophy (assumptions, ethics) to Model, Frame of Reference, Practice, Data, Research, and back to Model.

Components of OT Theories

Composed of three parts: Philosophy, Paradigm, and Model.

Key Definitions

Philosophy: Fundamental beliefs influencing practices.
Paradigm: A shared vision defining the scope of the profession.
Model: A standard or example for imitation or comparison.

Levels of Theory

Fundamental body of knowledge is philosophical.
Applied knowledge includes a set of guidelines.
Practice consists of Frames of Reference.

Evidence-Based Theories

Theories become evidence-based through building and testing.
Theory Building: Involves inductive reasoning, qualitative research, and case studies.
Theory Testing: Involves deductive reasoning, quantitative research, and assessing variables.

Occupational Therapy Framework

Organized into three components: Paradigm, Occupation-Based Models, and Frames of Reference.
Paradigm: Organizing principle of OT knowledge encompassing philosophies, values, ethics, OTPF (Occupational Therapy Practice Framework).

OTPF and Domains

OTPF defines the domain of concern for occupational therapy.
Key components include Occupation, Client Factors, Performance Skills, Performance Patterns, and Contexts/Environments.

Intervention Strategies

Strategies include creating/promoting health, establishing/restoring abilities, maintaining client functions, modifying tasks, and preventing disabilities.

Models of Occupational Therapy

Based on systems theory, performance models outline the interrelations of person, environment, and occupation.
Two Models of OT by Kathlyn Reed:
- Conceptual Models: Explain the rationale behind OT, validating its value but can be generic.
- Practice Models: Provide specific guidelines for evaluations and interventions.

Occupation-Based Models

Considered conceptual models since they explain the interrelationship among the person, environment, and occupational performance.
Highlight the fundamental focus of the profession on occupation.

Various Occupation-Based Models

Include MOHO, OA, PEO, PEOP, EHP, and KAWA, each focusing on different aspects and purposes within the field.

Frame of Reference

A system of interrelated concepts that describe interactions within a specific area of OT practice.
Purposes include explaining therapy applications, addressing disabilities, and providing evaluative and intervention outlines.

Organization of Frame of Reference

Organized by Focus, Basic Assumptions, Function-Disability Continuums, and Postulates of Change to guide practice effectively.
