“…Ciro, 2013). These factors included (1) the possible mediating influence of group health mechanisms such as a sense of universality and cohesion at ADA House, (2) the presence of a positive bias toward the therapist given her infrequent presence and wellconsidered use of self, (3) clients' perceptions of occupational therapy as enjoyable, and (4) a hurried completion of surveys with a concomitant absence of client reflection about distinct survey questions (Peloquin & Ciro, 2013). These same factors may have affected this study's results.…”

“…More recently, professionals have noted the value of practice among populations, particularly those with chronic conditions (AOTA, 2008;Mallinson, Fischer, Rogers, Ehrlich-Jones, & Chang, 2009). In community settings in which group work occurs, intervention planning may combine theoretical directives, evidence-based recommendations, and consultations with representatives from the population as opposed to individualized evaluations (Peloquin & Ciro, 2013). This global approach falls short of ideal clientcentered therapy and is population centered in the sense that unique client needs are assumed to align with those identified in the population.…”

“…We previously reported a high degree of satisfaction and engagement among women participating in self-development groups structured around arts and crafts and designed to foster self-discovery, selfexpression, and self-management. Group sessions tapped recovery themes from the substance abuse literature and were grounded in a Person-Environment-Occupation (PEO) model (Peloquin & Ciro, 2013). A second population-centered life skills group led in the same setting is the subject of this article.…”

PURPOSE. We examined the satisfaction with and engagement in population-centered life skills groups of women in a residential facility for substance dependence. METHOD. This study was a retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of 561 surveys designed to elicit Likert scale client ratings. Descriptive statistics were used to examine client satisfaction. Differences in client engagement by content focus and activity process were also examined by analyzing the median scores of eight life skills development questions using the Kruskal-Wallis test of medians. RESULTS. Collectively, 96.8% of those who completed the surveys were satisfied with the living skills groups; 73.3% strongly agreed, and 23.4% agreed. No significant differences (p > .05) were found in the median scores of the engagement responses by either content focus or activity process. CONCLUSION. Population-centered life skills groups conceptualized within a holistic Person-Environment-Occupation model appear to be satisfactory and engaging interventions for women in recovery.

Background Addiction to drugs and alcohol constitutes one of the significant factors underlying the decline in life expectancy in the US. Several context-specific reasons influence drug use and recovery. In particular emotional distress, physical pain, relationships, and self-development efforts are known to be some of the factors associated with addiction recovery. Unfortunately, many of these factors are not directly observable and quantifying, and assessing their impact can be difficult. Based on social media posts of users engaged in substance use and recovery on the forum Reddit, we employed two psycholinguistic tools, Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count and Empath and activities of substance users on various Reddit sub-forums to analyze behavior underlining addiction recovery and relapse. We then employed a statistical analysis technique called structural equation modeling to assess the effects of these latent factors on recovery and relapse. Results We found that both emotional distress and physical pain significantly influence addiction recovery behavior. Self-development activities and social relationships of the substance users were also found to enable recovery. Furthermore, within the context of self-development activities, those that were related to influencing the mental and physical well-being of substance users were found to be positively associated with addiction recovery. We also determined that lack of social activities and physical exercise can enable a relapse. Moreover, geography, especially life in rural areas, appears to have a greater correlation with addiction relapse. Conclusions The paper describes how observable variables can be extracted from social media and then be used to model important latent constructs that impact addiction recovery and relapse. We also report factors that impact self-induced addiction recovery and relapse. To the best of our knowledge, this paper represents the first use of structural equation modeling of social media data with the goal of analyzing factors influencing addiction recovery.

“…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.
