Strengths-Based Interventions to Support Positive Role Identity in Home Health Practice
Get PDFThe author collaborated with a home health occupational therapist in Western Washington. The therapist’s research question was, “What evidence is there to support strengths-based therapy interventions effective in supporting positive role identity in adults with physical disabilities who are receiving home health or outpatient rehabilitation services?” Home health practitioners may not account for a client’s mental health challenges that impact role identity. A client’s sense of role identity can influence re-engagement in meaningful activities that support quality of life. The evidence review found that role identity concepts, like autonomy, are considered to be important, but often measured as secondary outcomes.
In response to the occupational therapist’s interest in understanding her clients’ different psychosocial and emotional factors that facilitate continued engagement in meaningful occupations after discharge from occupational therapy (OT), the author presented an in-service on strengths-based interventions, followed by instruction in using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM) to identify activities that clients personally value and to gauge their satisfaction with performance in such activities. To monitor the impact of the in-service and use of the COPM in practice, the therapist was interviewed before the in-service and after using the COPM for three weeks. She found using the COPM to be helpful in identifying goals that are meaningful to clients, but had limited amount of time with each client. She would like to continue to use the COPM in a non-standardized way to inform her evaluations and goal setting conversations

The Relationship of Catastrophization, Pain Intensity, and Heart Rate Variability in Acute Pain - A Pilot Study
Get PDFBackground: Reduction in heart rate variability (HRV) can strongly and independently predict adverse health outcomes.Chronic pain conditions are associated with reduced HRV, and HRV may be a biomarker for predicting chronic pain.
Purpose: While pain intensity and catastrophization are associated with chronic pain,the aim of this study is to investigate their relationship with HRV in individuals with acute pain.
Methods: Fourteen subjects from two facilities participated. Data from two participants was excluded. HRV was collected while seated as participants completed an iPad survey. Raw inter-beat interval (IBI) data was analyzed with Kubios software.
Results: Multiple regression analyses were non-significant. The strongest correlations were between high frequency power (HFP) and current pain, r(10) = .617, p=.052 and low frequency power (LFP) and current pain, r(10) = .568, p=.069. Root mean squared successive differences (RMSSD) (35.05, sd = 19.98), LFP (1598.49, sd = 17.97), HFP (488.46, sd = 633.79), LF/HF ratio (3.22, sd = 1.31) and total Pain Catastrophization Scale (PCS) scores (10.33, sd = 10.89) demonstrated wide variance, while current (2.83, sd = 1.99) or worst pain intensity (7.25, sd = 1.55) did not.
Conclusions: The wide variance of HRV and PCS scores yet similar pain intensity in this small population suggests a subset of individuals that may demonstrate decreased HRV in earlier stages of pain. Future research may focus on broadening the size and diversity of the sample and exploring additional psychosocial variables influencing HRV in acute pain
