- Skluzavka: 1
- During a therapy session, you might be thinking:
- Is what I'm doing actually working?
- Skluzavka: 2
- During a therapy session, you might be thinking:
- How do I know this will help my client improve?
- Skluzavka: 3
- During a therapy session, you might be thinking:
- Is this the most appropriate intervention and treatment for my client?
- Skluzavka: 4
- This is where research comes in! Research is how we, as occupational therapists, know that certain treatments and activities can help our clients.
- Skluzavka: 5
- Research Practice Patient Preference
- Skluzavka: 6
- Formally, evidenced-based practice is the “conscious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients” (Mirza, 2023).
- Skluzavka: 7
- This process ensures that our practice is effective!
- We can use research findings to our advantage and have it guide our clinical decision-making (Ottenbacher, 1987).
- Skluzavka: 8
- In a way, research makes our lives easier and of course, makes our clients’ care better too!
- Skluzavka: 9
- This relationship between research, your practice, and patient care is evidence-based practice.
- Now you might be thinking:
- Okay, yes! Then how does it connect to our use of occupation?
- Skluzavka: 10
- As you may know, occupations are the core of our profession. We use occupations to guide our care and ensure that it is client-centered. The reason why we are able to use occupation is because of research!
- Skluzavka: 11
- Research builds a strong case for us that occupational therapy promotes health, well-being and quality of life (Pizzi and Richards, 2017).
- We do this by creating effective solutions that facilitate participation in meaningful activities and everyday living (Pizzi and Richards, 2017).
- Skluzavka: 12
- Without research and evidence, we would not be able to use occupations in our care.
- Skluzavka: 13
- Now you might be thinking:
- I see! Are there any other reasons why research matters in occupational therapy?
- Skluzavka: 14
- Research does exactly that!
- Research helps us establish occupational therapy as a true profession as it creates the foundational background and basis for our practice (Ottenbacher, 1987).
- Skluzavka: 15
- Great question!
- And explain what you do and make a case for why you are needed?
- Skluzavka: 16
- Establishing our profession at high standards and alongside other healthcare professions is done through evidence-based practice. If you want to gain recognition as a true profession, evidence-based practice is the best route!
- Skluzavka: 17
- Now you might be thinking:
- I understand why research matters now, but how do we implement it?
- Skluzavka: 18
- There are plenty of ways to combine research and practice!
- Skluzavka: 19
- 1. Using the findings from research studies and applying them directly to problems in clinical practice.
- Skluzavka: 20
- 2. Creating a theory from research and eventually using that theory to guide practice.
- Skluzavka: 21
- 3. Using the procedural methods of applied research on the implementation and evaluation of our clinical practice.
- Skluzavka: 22
- Relying on these methods helps to ensure that there is constant evidence-based practice occurring in our profession.
- Skluzavka: 23
- We're relying on you to lean on this process and be the building blocks for the refinement of our profession!
- Skluzavka: 24
- This was super helpful!
- I feel more confident in my understanding of why research matters in occupational therapy.I can't wait to start implementing it!
- Skluzavka: 0
- According to Ottenbacher (1987), there are 3 different ways...
- Think about it this way.Have you ever had to justify your role as an occupational therapist?
