Predictors of practice placement and academic outcomes in master’s-level pre-registration occupational therapy students / Miranda Thew in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 4 (Avril 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 4 (Avril 2018) . - p. 234-242 Titre : Predictors of practice placement and academic outcomes in master’s-level pre-registration occupational therapy students Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Miranda Thew ; David Harkness Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 234-242 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Occupational therapy education  academic outcomes  practice placement outcomes Résumé : Introduction Occupational therapy pre-registration programmes are increasing their academic entry criteria globally to positively impact on professional practice. However, there is a lack of evidence of how a range of variables influence student outcomes. Method An observational, retrospective cohort design measured previous degree, age, ethnicity and gender, on final academic and practice placement outcomes of previous MSc Occupational Therapy (pre-registration) students (n = 153). Pearson’s product-moment correlation and one-way ANOVA tests were performed on the data to assess any significant relationships between variables. Results There was a significant positive correlation between final academic percentage and practice placement outcome, r = .245, n = 121, p = .007. Previous degree significantly correlated with final academic outcome, r = .333, n = 153, p = .000, but not with higher practice placement performance. Gender, ethnicity and age did not correlate with student outcomes. Students with previous degrees in the arts performed slightly better than those with social sciences. Conclusion Prior academic ability significantly predicts academic but not necessarily practice placement outcomes on an MSc Occupational Therapy programme. Although more academically able students appear to develop skills for practice to a higher standard, other student values-based attributes should be measured prior to admission. Research exploring the best combination of academic and interpersonal skills for recruitment is required.

Social prescribing: An emerging area for occupational therapy / Miranda Thew in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.80 Issue 9 (September 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.80 Issue 9 (September 2017) . - p. 523-524 Titre : Social prescribing: An emerging area for occupational therapy Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Miranda Thew ; Fiona Bell ; Eithne Flanagan Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 523-524 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Social prescribing has been used in some form in the National Health Service (NHS) since the 1990s, but in recent years there has been increased interest and investment by the United Kingdom (UK) government to include a wider range of community interventions and activities (NHS England, 2014), in part to make the approach more sustainable (Dyson, 2014). Social prescribing links people, through general practitioner (GP), nurse or other primary care referral, to local non-medical and social welfare support agencies in the community that provide activities and social interactions that may benefit health. Social prescribing particularly targets populations facing significant social, economic or psychological risk factors that themselves contribute to many preventable diseases and conditions. Often these populations experience lifestyle and social challenges, such as smoking, drug or alcohol misuse and unemployment, which in addition may exacerbate underlying ill-health and disease (Dyson, 2014). The kinds of interventions or activities that may already exist, but would now be eligible for referral by a GP, range from ‘knit and natter’ clubs, health promotional educational groups, arts, creativity, learning and exercise on referral, to fishing clubs (Dyson, 2014).
