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.

Influences on uptake of a community occupational therapy intervention for people with dementia and their family carers / Becky Field in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 1 (Janvier 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 1 (Janvier 2019) . - p. 38-47 Titre : Influences on uptake of a community occupational therapy intervention for people with dementia and their family carers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Becky Field ; Elisabeth Coates ; Gail Mountain Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 38-47 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618804479 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Dementia  psychosocial intervention  occupational therapy  secondary analysis  qualitative research  community Résumé : Introduction Health policy promotes living well with dementia. Occupational therapists deliver interventions to support people with dementia and family carers to live well. This study aimed at identifying influences on uptake of a community occupational therapy intervention by people with dementia and carers, as little evidence about this topic exists. Method Seventeen semi-structured, paired interviews with people with dementia and carers were conducted as part of the ‘Valuing Active Life in Dementia’ research programme. A secondary, qualitative analysis of these interviews explored influences on uptake of the intervention. Findings Four main themes were identified: ‘Grabbing at straws and keen to take part’; ‘We’re trying to put a routine in’; ‘We didn’t know what to expect’, and ‘Give it a go’. Factors identified as potentially influencing uptake included whether the intervention was perceived as potentially meeting needs for support and activity, and whether participants were struggling to adjust or cope. Conclusion Despite limited expectations or apprehension, uptake of this intervention was demonstrated. Understanding why people with dementia and carers accept intervention offers can inform what occupational therapists provide and how it is offered. Further research is required to determine the occupational therapy interventions people with dementia and carers might find supportive at different stages of the disease trajectory.

Weaving a clinical academic career: Illuminating the method and pattern to follow / Laura Di Bona in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 82 Issue 1 (Janvier 2019)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 1 (Janvier 2019) . - p. 60-64 Titre : Weaving a clinical academic career: Illuminating the method and pattern to follow Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Laura Di Bona ; Becky Field ; Jennifer Read ; Natalie Jones ; Sally Fowler Davis ; Peter Cudd ; Laura Evans Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 60-64 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618784258 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Research  clinical academic  professional development  research methods and methodology  education  occupational therapy Résumé : The benefits of developing occupational therapists as clinical academics are well recognised. They include improved healthcare outcomes and experiences for service users, efficiencies for organisations and increased prominence of occupational therapy within healthcare. Yet occupational therapists describe uncertainty about how best to navigate clinical academic career pathways. We suggest that occupational therapists can increase their research aspirations, confidence and capacity by following a four-step method, weaving together clinical, academic and personal development. We outline our view of clinical academic development as a process with flexibility to incorporate occupational therapists’ diversity of interests and circumstances. By demystifying and illuminating the process of clinical academic development, we believe that occupational therapists may be able to weave more clinical academic development opportunities into their careers and increase the profession’s research capacity.
