It is widely assumed that occupational therapists hold and act on a body of shared values, yet there is a lack of evidence to support this. Method The research tested the hypothesis that occupational therapists’ responses to ethically challenging situations would reveal common values specific to the occupational therapy profession. A total of 156 occupational therapists were asked to decide what should be done in five common-place yet ethically complex situations, presented as scenarios for debate. Results The results show that while most occupational therapists share very general values, they frequently disagree about what to do in practice situations, often justifying their choices with different and sometimes conflicting specific values. In some cases, the same respondents espouse contradictory values in similar situations. Conclusion The extensive literature about decision-making – together with the study’s results – confirm that when occupational therapists make decisions, they draw on multiple factors, consciously and unconsciously. These factors vary between individuals. Value judgements are one part only of a complex process which includes personal experience, intuition, social influences, culture, psychological influences and relationships with both colleagues and clients.

World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) standard for 1000 hours of practice placement: informed by tradition or evidence? / Yvonne Thomas 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. 3-4 Titre : World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) standard for 1000 hours of practice placement: informed by tradition or evidence? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yvonne Thomas ; Merrolee Penman Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 3-4 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618788785 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The 2016 World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) Minimum Standards for the Education of Occupational Therapists (World Federation of Occupational Therapists, 2016) state that all students are expected to complete a minimum of 1000 practice education hours. Reference to a minimum of 1000 hours has been consistent since the original WFOT document Establishing a Programme for the Education of Occupational Therapists, published in 1958, with almost no variation to this requirement in subsequent revisions of the standards. The current minimum standards justify the tradition of retaining 1000 hours, stating ‘it has been consistent since practice-related experience was part of the occupational therapy educational process and appears comparable to other health professional preparation programmes’ (World Federation of Occupational Therapists, 2016: 49). Despite significant revision of the minimum standards in every other way, the original 1000 hours standard (based on 35 hours per week for 30 weeks) remains unchanged 60 years later, with almost no evidence to support or deny its relevance and validity in the current context.
