Test your Knowledge: One Study Guide Intro to Theory Theories: attempt to explain a specific phenomena and to provide structure - Broad theory: specifies relationships among concepts that share something in common - General - Discrete theory: use hypothesis to test causal relationships among elements of broad theories - Descriptive in nature Conceptual Models: explain WHY OT works - Occupation Based Models Practice Models: explain HOW OT works, give guidelines for specific types of evaluate - Frames of Reference OT Theory Organization: Paradigm, Occupation-based models, Frames of Reference Occupational Therapy Process and Outcomes 1. Explain the components of occupational therapy process a. Evaluation: profile, outcomes, analysis of occupational performance (subjective and objective) b. Intervention: plan and implementation c. Reevaluation: reanalysis of performance, targeted outcomes, actions d. Continue/Discontinue IT 2. Examine how evidence from research and practice is integrated into occupational therapy process a. Evidence focus during evaluation: i. Preferences of client ii. Therapist experience b. Evidence considerations during intervention: i. Relationship between intervention and theories are relevant for client and clinical setting ii. Available research about benefits of interventions c. Evidence focus during reevaluation: i. Available research regarding reevaluate for specific type of client and assessment tools administered at evaluation Professional Reasoning in Occupational Therapy 1. Clinical Reasoning uses: sensory experience, observations, theoretical knowledge 2. Schell's Ecological model: a. Transactional: deeper interactions, need client interaction as well as your own 3. Clinical Reasoning Types  a. Scientific: most concrete/least personal, using research evidence i. Diagnostically: clinical problem sensing and definition ii. Procedural: thinking about disease and deciding intervention b. Narrative: Understanding the meaning that disease, illness or disability has to an individual i. Clients story + experience c. Pragmatic: reality check of therapy i. Determines the look of how therapy will present itself d. Ethical: how to navigate situations i. Guids: OT code of ethics, Standards of practice e. Interactive: extending empathy + support, building collaborative relationship f. Conditional: combines all forms of clinical reasoning, time + experience develops this and it will change Intentional Relationship Model: critical need for self-reflection, openness to feedback is vital Principles of IRM 1. Grow your interpersonal knowledge 2. Purely and flexibility applied: modes can work and be utilized 3. Client defines relationship 4. Balance activity focusing with interpersonal focusing 5. Application must be informed by core OF values/ethics 6. Cultural Competence is central to practice Therapist responsibility: remain self aware and disciplines 1. Self awareness 2. Self discipline 3. Recognize limits 4. Self development Empathy: matters for effective relationships Six Therapeutic Modes 1. Problem solving 2. Advocating 3. Collaborating 4. Empathizing 5. Encouraging 6. Instruction Interpersonal Reasoning Process Steps: 1. Anticipate 2. Identify 3. Determine if a mode shift is required 4. Choose a mode for mode sequence 5. Draw on relevant interpersonal skills 6. Gather feedback Modes negative effect: - Used too frequently or inflexible - Use with poor timing relative to client needs - Used in a manner inconsistent with client personality Pure Mode use: communicating single clear message Blended mode use: convoluting the message Therapeutic use of self: use of personality, perception, and judgements Transtheoretical Model Key components 1. Stages of change a. Precontemplation: not ready b. Contemplation: consideration c. Preparation: ready to change d. Action: taking action e. Maintenance: engaged in behavior f. Termination: can maintain behavior g. Noncompliance: no desire to change 2. Decisional balance: a. Benefits of change and barriers to change? 3. Self efficacy: a. confidence in ability to use a healthy behavior 4. Processes of change *Motivational interviewing: reflective listening, careful wording, affirm clients choices Exam Review Takeaways - Occupational therapy = outcome of research - Scope of practice = collaboration between practitioner + client - Occupational profile = evolves overtime - APA citation when referencing a chapter in an edited book = The name of authors of the chapter - Formal theory: set of ideas explaining a specific set of phenomena - Motivational interviewing: conversationally eld, hearing clients thoughts - World Health Organization = most impactful = community + environment
