Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Volume 78 numéro 1 (Janvier 2015) . - p.33-41 Titre : Malaysian occupational therapists’ practices with children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Masne Kadar, Auteur ; Rachael McDonald, Auteur ; Primrose Lentin, Auteur Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.33-41 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Theory  Interventions  Professional development Résumé : Introduction Occupational therapy is one of the health care professions that provides assessments and interventions for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. However, to date, there is no information available regarding occupational therapy practices in Malaysia for this population. The purpose of this study is to describe the occupational therapy services for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder in Malaysia, including the perceived training needs of practitioners. Method We surveyed the registered members of the Malaysian Occupational Therapy Association using a mailed questionnaire. Results A response rate of 15.5% was obtained. The majority of the responses were from those working in hospital settings who had less than 5 years’ experience working as occupational therapists with children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder. The theories, assessments, interventions, and training that related to respondents’ practices mainly revolved around sensory-based approaches. Encouragingly, more than 70% of the respondents claimed that they performed assessments of daily living activities in their service. Client-centred practice was a further feature of occupational therapist respondents involved in this study. Conclusion Future study is needed, especially to engage more respondents and thereby produce more generalizable results and an in-depth exploration of the continuing education needs of occupational therapists in Malaysia.

Understanding the factors that influence social and community participation as perceived by people with non-traumatic spinal cord injury / Linda Barclay in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 10 (October 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 10 (October 2017) . - p. 577-586 Titre : Understanding the factors that influence social and community participation as perceived by people with non-traumatic spinal cord injury Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Linda Barclay ; Primrose Lentin ; Rachael McDonald ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 577-586 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : lésion non-traumatique de la moelle épinière  participation sociale  recherche qualitative Résumé : Introduction The number of people with non-traumatic spinal cord injury is rising in developed countries such as Australia and Great Britain. People with non-traumatic spinal cord have different gender, injury and age-related profiles compared to those with traumatically acquired spinal cord injury; therefore, their lived experience is likely to be different. However, the specific issues and challenges that this group faces have not been well investigated. Method Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 17 adults with non-traumatic spinal cord injury. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings The factors that influenced the social and community participation of people with non-traumatic spinal cord injury were grouped into three broad areas: person factors, factors in the physical and institutional environment, and factors in the social or cultural environment. Conclusion The findings from this study inform the understanding of occupational therapists regarding the social and community participation of people with non-traumatic spinal cord injury and how this can be facilitated. Assisting people with non-traumatic spinal cord injury to participate in meaningful social and community-based activities is important to maximise their quality of life.
