Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 3 (March 2018) . - p. 154-161 Titre : Occupational therapists in emergency departments: A qualitative study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kristin James ; Derek Jones ; Larissa Kempenaar ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 154-161 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  service d'urgence  accident  urgence Résumé : Introduction Globally, occupational therapists are establishing their role in emergency care, especially in emergency departments. This practice development merits investigation due to its nascence and the challenges that face emergency department professionals. A qualitative study examined the lived experience of occupational therapists in emergency departments to contribute to knowledge and inform practice development. Method Interpretative phenomenological analysis framed the research methods. Nine occupational therapists were purposively recruited with experience of emergency departments. Individual, semi-structured interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Interview transcripts were analysed line-by-line and interpreted using interpretative phenomenological analysis methods. Findings Theme one: ‘On the Factory Floor’ captured the experience of working in emergency departments. They were perceived as ordered environments, but nonetheless could be unpredictable, even chaotic. Theme two: ‘A Stranger in a Strange Land’ encapsulated what it was like to enter and establish a new role in the emergency department. The emergency department brings considerable personal and professional challenges, but it can offer rewards, especially enjoyment, recognition and being valued. At the time of the study, the participants were discovering how they might acculturate. Conclusion Occupational therapists are establishing their presence in the emergency department; professional identity is forming and the practice paradigm requires further consideration.

Occupational therapy and emergency departments: A critical review of the literature / Kristin James in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.79 N°8 (August 2016)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.79 N°8 (August 2016) . - p. 459-466 Titre : Occupational therapy and emergency departments: A critical review of the literature Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kristin James ; Derek Jones ; Larissa Kempenaar ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2016 Article en page(s) : p. 459-466 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  service d'urgence Résumé : Introduction Occupational therapy is emerging as a profession within the context of emergency care, specifically within emergency departments. Emerging professional practice should be underpinned by an evidence base supported by research. As such, this critical review examines, analyses and summarises published and unpublished research concerning occupational therapy in Emergency Departments in order to support emerging practice. Method Research evidence was sought from database platforms, the Internet and grey sources by searching using key words and search terms. Critical analysis of each piece of evidence was undertaken and the analyses were synthesised into a critical review of the literature. Results Twenty-three potentially relevant papers were found, 16 met the criteria for further inclusion and seven were critically analysed. The quality of the papers varied and often lacked sufficient methodological detail for robust review. Although not all study sample sizes were small, variable methodological quality means findings can only be taken into professional practice with caution. Conclusion Based on current evidence, there can only be a limited understanding of occupational therapy, including practice models and efficacy, within emergency departments at this time. There is a need for large-scale, well-designed research studies of occupational therapy within emergency departments.
