Recruitment and retention issues for occupational therapists in mental health: Balancing the pull and the pushEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The results supported the development of a 'push and pull' conceptualisation of recruitment and retention issues, including job-related (intrinsic) and non-job-related (extrinsic) issues. This conceptualisation allows organisations to closely examine factors that attract practitioners to positions and those that support or damage staff tenure.

Conclusions: The Clock Drawing Test may be a useful and quick screen of cognitive impairments following stroke. Age-related decline must be considered and it is essential that clinicians use this only as a strategy to determine whether a more comprehensive assessment is required.

Increasing the occupational therapy mental health workforce through innovative practice education: A pilot projectEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Though limited by its small sample size, this pilot trial has demonstrated the potential of innovative placement models to provide valuable student learning experiences in mental health. The profession needs to develop expertise in the use of innovative placement models if students are to be adequately prepared to work with the mental health issues of the Australian community now and in the future.

Routine administration of the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure: Effect on functional outcomeEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Results are significant for the field of routine outcome measurement, suggesting that when adding the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure to routine assessment within an inpatient rehabilitation setting, substantially improved Functional Independence Measure[trade] score outcomes should not be expected. The value of routine outcome measurement on client outcomes remains largely unexplored. Routinely, using outcome measures requires additional research to determine the specific benefits to our programs and client outcomes. (Source: Australian Occupational Therapy Journal)

An evaluation of the construct validity of the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration using the Rasch Measurement ModelEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Theoretically, the VMI items are developmentally ordered; however, this ordering was not mirrored by the item logit difficulty scores obtained. This has scoring implications, where scoring a respondent's VMI test booklet is terminated after three consecutive items are not passed. Clinicians should also be aware that item 9 may exhibit bias related to gender. (Source: Australian Occupational Therapy Journal)

Assessment of the upper limb in acute stroke: The validity of hierarchal scoring for the Motor Assessment ScaleEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The hierarchal scoring is not supported for subsets 7 and 8 and future research is required to explore the validity of alternate scoring methods. At present, the authors recommend that the UL-MAS should be scored non-hierarchally, meaning that every item within the subsets should be scored regardless of its place within the hierarchy (UL-MAS-NH).

This paper aims to explore ways in which we as occupational therapists in Australia can participate in enabling a different and better future for all Australians. In doing so, it is necessary to explore our history and our cultures, both individually and collectively as a profession, and to understand the ways in which these shape who we are and what we do. As occupational therapists, we have valuable knowledge and skills that have the potential to contribute in a positive way to the health and educational outcomes of Indigenous Australians.

Assessment of need and capacity to benefit for people with a disability requiring aids, appliances and equipmentEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The assessment tool provides a standardised method for assessing requests for equipment based on the twin concepts of need and capacity to benefit. The results support the use of both concepts as the foundation of the assessment process. Further development is required, particularly to move to the next stage of using the assessment tool as the basis for prioritising applications for equipment.

Conclusions: Side of stroke, region of affected cerebral circulation and age affected the type of impairments of visual perception and praxis experienced by patients following stroke. Furthermore, region of affected cerebral circulation also influenced the number of impairments of visual perception and praxis in patients after stroke. The results have implications for more specific targeting of assessment and treatment practices following stroke. (Source: Australian Occupational Therapy Journal)

Questioning: A critical skill in postmodern health-care service deliveryEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Occupational therapists can no longer rely exclusively on biomedical frameworks to guide their practice and facilitate clinical problem-solving. A postmodernist perspective of health and well-being underlines that the illness experience is not a linear, cause-and-effect equation. Rather, life experiences are constructed through a myriad of social, cultural, physical and economic contexts that are highly unique to each individual. In other words, the assumption that 'one-size-fits-all' is as flawed in health care as it is in clothing design. This paper contributes to the growing discussion of health care within the postmode...

Are we applying interventions with research evidence when targeting secondary complications of the stroke-affected upper limbEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: The results of the questionnaire highlight an inconsistent application of evidence within clinical practice and the consistent application of treatment techniques with poor supporting evidence. This result does not represent poor clinical practice. Rather, it highlights the need for the research literature to articulate the clinical reasoning underpinning clinicians' selection of treatment techniques and to determine the effectiveness of frequently used, but poorly supported treatment techniques.

Profile of cognitive problems in schizophrenia and implications for vocational functioningEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Occupational therapists need to have a good understanding of the profile of cognitive problems among people with schizophrenia, in order to tailor our intervention according to their cognitive strengths and difficulties. Several cognitive remediation strategies and programs have been designed specifically for people with mental illness. Equipping ourselves with skills in conducting such programs will augment our expertise in vocational rehabilitation. (Source: Australian Occupational Therapy Journal)

Movement skills proficiency and physical activity: A case for Engaging and Coaching for Health (EACH)–ChildEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Findings from this study question the magnitude of the relationship between children's FMS and physical activity as measured by pedometers. If the goal of health enhancement through physical activity engagement is to be realised, it is proposed that community, occupation-based approaches may offer more potential than skills-based interventions at increasing activity participation. The concept of Engaging and Coaching for Health (EACH)-Child is introduced to this end. Occupational therapists are encouraged to work collaboratively with school and community organisations to assist children to find the physical ac...
