Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 78 numéro 5 (Mai 2015) . - p. 320-330 Titre : Alcohol use amongst older adults: Knowledge and beliefs of occupational therapists working in physical health care settings Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fiona MACLEAN, Auteur ; Jan GILL, Auteur ; Fiona O'MAY, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p. 320-330 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Theory  Assessment  Education : Alcohol use  Older people  Physical health care Résumé : Introduction There is little discussion in the United Kingdom occupational therapy literature surrounding the topic of older people and alcohol, despite the growing prevalence of alcohol-related health problems in older adults resulting from an ageing population and changing patterns of consumption. Occupational therapists in physical health care settings are likely to work with older people whose drinking pattern may not be alcohol dependent, but may put their physical or psychological health at risk. Method A survey methodology was employed using open and closed questions, recruiting occupational therapists (band 5 to 9) (n = 122) working with older people (65+ years) in physical health care settings across all, except one, National Health Service Regional Health Boards in Scotland. Results Responses highlight gaps in occupational therapists’ knowledge around alternative ‘safe limits’ of alcohol intake for older people. Belief in professional role was evident, but the perception was that this was not supported by undergraduate education. Occupation focused theory and assessment were not prioritized when considering alcohol in the older adult. Conclusion This study has highlighted a need to develop pre- and post-qualification education for occupational therapists, to enhance understanding of theory, assessment and knowledge of alcohol with older adults in physical health care settings.

The topic of alcohol within the Scottish occupational therapy curricula / Fiona MACLEAN in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Volume 77 numéro 4 (Avril 2014)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 77 numéro 4 (Avril 2014) . - p.205 - p.213 Titre : The topic of alcohol within the Scottish occupational therapy curricula Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fiona MACLEAN, Auteur ; Fiona O'MAY, Auteur ; Jan GILL, Auteur Année de publication : 2014 Article en page(s) : p.205 - p.213 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : alcohol  education Résumé : Introduction Scotland has witnessed a large rise in all types of alcohol-related illnesses, and in alcohol-related deaths. Despite this escalating problem, previous research in Scotland has demonstrated that gaps exist in the knowledge base of graduate occupational therapists. This study therefore aimed to document the content of alcohol in Scottish occupational therapy curricula. Method This study was conducted during 2010-11. A questionnaire was sent to the programme leader of all the Schottish Higher Education Institutes offering a BSc (Hons) degree in occupational therapy, and to the only Further Education College in Scotland offering a Higher National Certificate in occupational therapy. The respons rate was 100%. Findings There is a lock of cohesive approach to alcohol misuse education within the occupational therapy curricula delivered in Scotland. Key proposals of the Scottish Government targeting alcohol misuse are inadequately addressed. Conclusion The topic of alcohol and alcohol misuse is taught to varying degrees within the curricula offered in Scotland ans further emphasis needs to be placed on understanding alcohol misuse ans associated potential inteventions, irrespective of practice context.
