Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.79 N°2 (February 2016) . - p.85-91 Titre : Community occupational therapy for people with dementia and their family carers: A national survey of United Kingdom occupational therapy practice Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Tom Swinson ; Jennifer Wenborn ; Stinéad Hynes Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p.85-91 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : dementia  community  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction A national survey was conducted with United Kingdom (UK) occupational therapists to scope occupational therapy service provision for people with dementia and their family carers in the community. Method This was an online questionnaire with topics on occupational therapists’ roles, service provision, referral, assistive technology and assessment tools. Recruitment was through direct invitation, and promotion via occupational therapy networks, websites and newsletters. Results A total of 197 responded. Occupational therapy referrals most commonly came from the multidisciplinary team. Over half primarily undertook profession-specific work, with occupational therapy assessments the most common profession-specific task. Two-thirds of referrals for initial assessments were for people with mild-to-moderate dementia. A median of 2.5 hours for assessment/intervention was spent for each person with dementia. Almost two-thirds used the Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool. Most could prescribe personal activities of daily living equipment and Telecare, with few able to prescribe equipment for reminiscence or leisure. Conclusion This national survey increases knowledge of UK community occupational therapy practice and service provision for people with dementia and their family carers. It informs occupational therapists about national trends within this practice area, and development of the community occupational therapy intervention (COTiD-UK) as part of the Valuing Active Life in Dementia research programme.

Enablers and challenges to occupational therapists’ research engagement: A qualitative study / Laura Di Bona in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 11 (Novembre 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 11 (Novembre 2017) . - p. 642-650 Titre : Enablers and challenges to occupational therapists’ research engagement: A qualitative study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laura Di Bona ; Jennifer Wenborn ; Becky Field ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 642-650 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  recherche  démence Résumé : Introduction To develop occupational therapy’s evidence base and improve its clinical outcomes, occupational therapists must increase their research involvement. Barriers to research consumption and leadership are well documented, but those relating to delivering research interventions, less so. Yet, interventions need to be researched within practice to demonstrate their clinical effectiveness. This study aims to improve understanding of challenges and enablers experienced by occupational therapists who deliver interventions within research programmes. Method Twenty-eight occupational therapists who participated in the Valuing Active Life in Dementia (VALID) research programme reported their experiences in five focus groups. Data were analysed thematically to identify key and subthemes. Results Occupational therapists reported that overwhelming paperwork, use of videos, recruitment and introducing a new intervention challenged their research involvement, whereas support, protected time and a positive attitude enabled it. The impact of these challenges and enablers varied between therapists and organisations. Conclusion Challenges and enablers to research involvement can be identified but must be addressed within individual and organisational contexts. Multifaceted collective action to minimise challenges and maximise enablers can facilitate clinicians’ involvement in research. Using this approach should enable occupational therapists to increase their research involvement, thus demonstrating the clinical effectiveness of their interventions.
