This study aimed to examine current practice in preventing falls among older people living in the community prior to attending a home safety workshop; explore the outcomes of the workshop on fall prevention practice; and investigate self-reported changes in practice 3 months after the workshop. Method The 3-hour workshop was focused on evidence-based home safety interventions and was offered to occupational therapists providing community-based services in the Sydney North Primary Health Network area. Knowledge surveys were used immediately pre and post workshop, and practice surveys were collected data at baseline and at 3-month follow-up. Results Three workshops were run in 2015–2016, with a total of 40 occupational therapists. At follow-up, a positive impact on confidence and knowledge was reported. Less impact was observed on identifying and reducing an older person’s fall risk, and on fall prevention services provided and referrals received. Changes in practice were reported by 48% (n = 16) of the 33 participants who returned surveys at 3 months. Conclusion These findings provide support for the benefit of professional development workshops to improve confidence and knowledge, but challenges remain in facilitating change in fall prevention service delivery. Further study on screening for fall risk and collaboration between community service providers in the primary care context is recommended.

Technology use to improve everyday occupations in older persons with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment: A scoping review / Ann-Helen Patomella in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 10 (Octobre 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 10 (Octobre 2018) . - p. 555-565 Titre : Technology use to improve everyday occupations in older persons with mild dementia or mild cognitive impairment: A scoping review Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Ann-Helen Patomella ; Meryl Lovarini ; Eva Lindqvist ; Anders Kottorp ; Louise Nygard Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 555-565 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618771533 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Assistive technology  learning  intervention Résumé : Introduction Technology use is a highly relevant part of everyday occupations and difficulties can lead to challenges among older adults with cognitive impairments. The aim of this study was to review empirical studies reporting on the use of technology for improving performance in everyday occupations and evaluate the effect of training strategies in technology use in older people with mild-stage dementia or mild cognitive impairment. Method A scoping review methodology was used. Key databases were searched, covering January 2000 to October 2016, to identify studies, which were screened and assessed for inclusion. Results In total, 14 studies were included. Most studies used quantitative designs with small sample sizes. The methods used to measure performance in everyday occupations differed. Six studies focussed on the use of technology for improving performance. Eight studies evaluated the effect of training strategies in technology use. Conclusion Although positive effects of technology use and training in technology use have been reported for instrumental activities of daily living outcomes, the evidence supporting the use of technology in enhancing performance in occupations in people with mild-stage dementia or mild cognitive impairment is limited. Future studies should focus specifically on people with mild cognitive impairment, use more rigorous designs and include standardised methods.
