Study Notes

Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) Overview

  • Developed in the 1980s, revised thrice, originating from Mary Reilly's work on occupational behavior.
  • Key authors include Gary Kielhofner, Janice Burke, and Cynthia Heard.
  • Recognized as one of the most researched theories in occupational therapy.

Purpose of MOHO

  • Aims to rediscover the significance of occupation, emphasizing motivation, patterns, and performance.
  • Explores the impact of the environment on occupational engagement.

Core Concepts of MOHO

  • MOHO provides a theoretical framework with practical tools for occupational therapy.
  • Focuses on how individuals are motivated toward and engage in work, play, and self-care activities.
  • Considers the effects of environmental factors on occupational participation and performance.

Assumptions of MOHO

  • Humans have a biological inclination to be active; occupation is vital for self-organization.
  • Internal components interact dynamically with the environment, influencing thinking, feeling, and doing.
  • Each component contributes to the overall system's functionality, shaped by social and cultural contexts.

Target Population and Settings

  • Applicable across the lifespan for anyone facing occupational challenges, including:
    • Adults with chronic pain, children with ADHD, individuals with traumatic brain injury, older adults with dementia, and more.
  • Utilized in diverse therapeutic settings such as hospitals, outpatient clinics, rehabilitation programs, and correctional facilities.

MOHO Components

  • Comprises three interrelated parts:
    • Volition: Motivation to engage in occupations.
    • Habituation: Organization of occupations into habits and roles.
    • Performance Capacity: Physical and mental abilities essential for occupational skill performance.

Volition in Depth

  • Defined as the process of motivation and choice in activities, driven by anticipation, experience, and interpretation.
  • Underlined by three personal characteristics:
    • Personal Causation: Sense of competence.
    • Values: Beliefs dictating what is important.
    • Interests: Activities found enjoyable.

Habituation Explained

  • Represents the internal readiness to exhibit consistent behavior patterns influenced by habits and roles.
  • Habits are automatic actions developed over time, while roles create expectations based on one's social status.

Performance Capacity Components

  • Encompasses objective abilities (physical and cognitive) and subjective experiences (individual perceptions of performance).

Environmental Influence

  • Environments, both physical and social, shape opportunities for engagement and impact occupational performance.
  • Social contexts introduce cultural norms that guide occupational actions.

Dimensions of Doing

  • Occupational Participation: Broad engagement in socially meaningful activities.
  • Occupational Performance: Execution of specific tasks within daily life.
  • Performance Skills: Observable actions that enable task completion (e.g., motor, process, communication skills).

Occupational Adaptation

  • Focuses on developing a positive identity and achieving competence over time through occupational engagement.
  • Reflects the interplay between occupational identity (self-concept based on engagement) and occupational competence (ability to sustain participation).

Change and Motivation

  • Change occurs through active occupational engagement and adaptations in systems.
  • Motivation to engage is influenced by individual interests and values.

Therapy Approach in MOHO

  • Therapy is a process focusing on clients' engagement in occupations to facilitate changes in abilities, routines, and self-concepts.
  • Employs therapeutic reasoning across six steps: question generation, information gathering, analysis, goal creation, implementation, and outcome assessment.

Assessment Methods

  • Evaluation should be holistic, looking at the entire human system.
  • Utilizes observational, informal, and structured tools to assess client functioning and perspectives.

Intervention Strategies

  • Aims to enhance the individual's open system by selecting appropriate activities and therapeutic strategies.
  • Involves actively engaging clients in tailored activities to monitor their progress.

Theoretical Relationships

  • Highlights the interdependence of volition, habituation, and performance capacity in occupational actions.
  • Emphasizes the inseparability of individuals from their environments in shaping experiences and identity.

Key Ideas of MOHO

  • Occupation is fundamental to human self-organization and operates within a dynamic open system of subsystems.
  • Therapy harnesses occupation to influence individuals’ abilities and self-concepts, fostering adaptation and identity development.
