Occupational Therapy in Health Care

The "Model of Competence" has been recently elaborated to help expand our understanding relating to a person's interaction with the environment. Specifically, it seeks to deal with the issues related to the home adaptation (the home layout and equipment) for a person living with motor disabilities. This theoretical model takes into account various characteristics of the person as well as of the environment, by re-grouping six concepts: person, environment, activity, role, competence and handicap situation. The "Model of Competence" is distinct because it includes: (1) both the human and the nonhuman dimension of the environment; (2) personal characteristics other than the strictly physical ones; (3) a clear identification of the interaction between the person and the environment; and (4) a means of operationalizing it via an assessment instrument. This model proposes an innovative approach to the person-environment relation in terms of personalizing accessibility, and thereby offers a new approach to understanding the concept of universal access. It has been developed for research and application, and addresses several disciplines.

Occupational therapy's whole-person approach is well-suited to address the complex needs of children and youth with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD). However, literature regarding best practices for occupational therapy practitioners working with this population is lacking. This article delineates the role and scope of occupational therapy practice for children and youth with FASD, focusing on holistic and strengths-based approaches. The value of occupational therapy practice is illustrated through application of the person-environment-occupation-performance model and case examples at key developmental stages. Understanding occupational therapy's scope of practice will support the growth of the profession's role and facilitate successful participation of children with FASD in everyday life.

Exploring Occupational Therapy Practice for Children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder

探索胎儿酒精谱系障碍儿童的职业治疗实践

This study assessed the knowledge, skills, and practices of occupational therapists in Australia regarding the LGBTQIA+ community's health needs. A cross-sectional online survey gathered qualitative data from 130 occupational therapists practicing in Australia. Most participants were women (85%), with 7% identifying as LGBTQIA+. The survey identified four key themes: Understanding LGBTQIA+ identities; Embedding affirming care in practice; Specific occupational therapy skills and practices, and Individual occupational therapist factors. Results indicated that while occupational therapists showed high attitudinal awareness, many lacked the necessary education and training to deliver inclusive care, highlighting a need for enhanced education in this area.

Occupational Therapists in Australia Vary in Their Knowledge, Skills and Clinical Practices to Meet the Health Needs of the LGBTQIA+ Community

澳大利亚的职业治疗师在满足LGBTQIA+社区健康需求方面的知识、技能和临床实践存在差异

Individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) experience and live with physiological, psychological, and social impacts of their injury throughout their lives, including changes in one's sense of personal identity. This qualitative multiple-case study examines the lived experiences of four individuals living with brain injuries and how participation in occupation-based community programming interacts with post-injury sense of self. Study data reveal a dynamic relationship between occupational participation and personal identity that suggests ongoing post-acute occupational therapy services can support recovery including aspects of identity reformation.

Exploring Dual-Task Performance Relationships for Veterans with Lower-Limb Amputation

探索下肢截肢退伍军人的双重任务表现关系

The purpose of this paper is to propose the Intentional and Attuned Therapeutic Relationship Model as a means to emphasize an intentional and attuned therapeutic relationship among the therapist, autistic child, and their caregiver. Neurodiversity-affirming practice is strengths-based, collaborative, and inclusive of the needs and goals of the autistic child and their caregiver. As this necessitates reevaluating occupational therapy models of care delivered to autistic children, this paper provides a brief review of sensory processing and emotional regulation; discusses the Intentional Relationship Model and the phenomenon of attunement, respectively; and proposes the Intentional and Attuned Therapeutic Relationship Model, which combines elements of the Intentional Relationship Model and attunement to develop the therapeutic relationship in alignment with the neurodiversity-affirming paradigm.
