“…Staff at the homeless shelter provided constant feedback about students' progress and required updates on the program's development. Based on a literature review, it was determined that an activity-based group curriculum focusing on essential skills for independent living (i.e., work, leisure, healthy relationships, parenting, and home management skills), community re-integration, and health and wellness would be beneficial (Peloquin & Ciro, 2013). Group topics were determined from survey results and client report during informal conversations while observing other professionals at the shelter.…”

The purpose of this project was to develop and evaluate student learning outcomes of a role-emerging fieldwork Level II placement in a local homeless shelter. A role-emerging fieldwork placement denotes any placement in which there is not an identified occupational therapy program or no on-site occupational therapy (OT) supervisor. The project ran from January through June 2017 at a local homeless shelter with 1 Masters of Occupational Therapy (MOT) student from a local university completing their first Level II fieldwork rotation from January through March, followed by 2 MOT students completing their second rotation from April through June. Fieldwork supervision was provided by an off-site fieldwork educator to meet the minimum Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE) standard of 8 hours per week of direct supervision. Student experience was evaluated using the Fieldwork Experience Assessment Tool (FEAT) after the first week of the rotation, at midterm, and during the final week. Students reported decreased stigma towards the population, increased skills in occupational therapy practice, and improved confidence in their clinical decision making. Role-emerging fieldwork placements can provide a productive learning opportunity for selected students to explore the occupational therapy role in nontraditional settings. This paper will describe the creation of the role-emerging fieldwork project, development of student-run occupational therapy programming in a homeless shelter, student feedback regarding progress towards learning objectives, and describe student attitudes towards role-emerging fieldwork placements.

“…Since the PEO model was introduced by Law et al (1996), it has been used in multiple studies examining the connections between the personal attributes, environment, and occupations resulting in occupational performance (Broome, McKenna, Fleming, & Worrall, 2009;Cronin et al, 2013;Lyons, 2006;MacCobb, 2013;Peachey-Hill & Law, 2000;Peloquin & Ciro, 2013a, 2013bRipat & Becker, 2012;Schwartzman, Atler, Borg, & Schwartzman, 2006;Strong et al, 1999).…”

The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand the lived experience of adolescents who live with chronic pain. All 10 participants were between the ages of 13 and 17 and have lived with chronic pain for at least 6 months. Data sources for the study were two interviews for each participant, participant drawn depictions of their chronic pain, and researcher journaling. The person-environment-occupation model was used to frame the research design. The study found four main themes among the data: pain identity, invisible disease, occupational loss, and uphill climb to regain life. Each theme described the essence of the common experience of adolescents living with chronic pain. Occupational therapists can benefit from incorporating this knowledge base into their practice when providing intervention for individuals living with chronic pain to improve their overall quality of life and occupational performance.

“…Additionally, as there is a dearth of research exploring SUs experiences of treatment capturing SU perspectives presents a vital link to understanding the effectiveness and impact of OT intervention in addiction recovery. [36][37][38] This paper explores, from the SU perspective, the impact of a psycho-educational OT intervention on occupational performance, occupational balance and views of personal recovery.…”

An Occupation-Based Lifestyle Lecture Intervention as Part of Inpatient Addiction Recovery Treatment: Exploring Occupational Performance, Balance and Personal Recovery

et al. 2023

Introduction: Substance use disorders (SUDs) and addictive behaviours are growing problems which negatively impact health and wellbeing. Occupational therapy can support recovery by facilitating engagement in everyday activities that promote health. To date, the inclusion of occupational therapy in addiction recovery is limited and the evidence base for occupation-focused interventions is lacking. This study explores the impact of an occupational therapy-led intervention on self-reported occupational performance and occupational balance issues for people living with SUDs within an inpatient addiction service. Methodology: A quantitative pre and post-test study was implemented. The Canadian Personal Recovery Outcome Measure (C-PROM) was the sole outcome measure. The C-PROM is a self-report measure which aims to measure personal views of recovery based on rating activity engagement. The cohort of participants were recruited from referrals into 2 inpatient addiction recovery treatment programmes using purposive sampling. Descriptive statistics were run, and a Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test was used to analyse pre and post-test scoring. Results: Sixteen participants (9 male and 7 female) completed the intervention and outcome measure. The majority of participants (31.3%, n = 5) were between 45 and 54 years old. 25% of the sample (n = 4) were in the 35 to 44 age bracket while 18.8% (n = 3) were aged 55 to 64. The majority of participants (68.8%, n = 11) reported substance misuse as their main healthcare concern. The mean score on the C-PROM was significantly higher after participants received the intervention when compared with baseline scoring. Conclusion: Following engagement with an occupational therapist-led intervention participants reported increased engagement in activities and occupational performance. Participants also reported improved occupational balance and increased awareness of personal recovery needs. Further research is required to explore the effectiveness of this intervention in larger samples and to explore the transferability and sustainability of skills post discharge.
