The career choice of first year occupational therapy students: A follow up study
No full textThis study replicated a survey of first-year occupational therapy students at
Brunel University (Craik et al 2001) and 114 students (91.2%) responded. Their
profile was similar to that of the students in the previous study, with 90% being
female, 65% being over 21 years of age and 20% coming from minority ethnic
groups. The most frequent way that the students had heard about occupational
therapy remained through informal means, with variety and challenge
continuing to be the most important factors in attracting potential students to
the profession. The results of this study, taken with those of Craik et al (2001),
provide data on 444 first-year students and further emphasise the importance
of occupational therapists in encouraging recruitment to the professio

National survey of occupational therapy managers in mental health
No full textThis study, part of the College of Occupational Therapists' Mental Health Project, surveyed occupational therapy managers in mental health to gather data about them, the services they managed and their opinions on current and future issues of importance. A questionnaire was sent to the 184 managers who it was believed worked in mental health and it achieved a 65.2% response rate.
The majority of the 120 respondents were female, with Head II therapists between the ages of 31 and 40 forming the largest group. Two-thirds had additional qualifications and 71% had worked in mental health for more than 11 years. In addition to managing occupational therapy services, 86% carried a caseload or managed other services. Aspects of professional management were ranked highest in a list of tasks undertaken. Contradictions were noted in the managers' opinions on recruitment and retention of staff and the importance of staff supervision. The managers displayed commitment to the principles and philosophy of occupational therapy and a determination to demonstrate its effectiveness through research and evidence-based practice.
This study contributed to the position paper on the way ahead for occupational therapy in mental health (Craik et al 1998a) and provided information for occupational therapy managers to assist them to review their role

Educating occupational therapists for mental health practice
No full textThe last of four elements of the Mental Health Project, established by the College of Occupational Therapists to produce a position paper on the way ahead for research, education and practice in occupational therapy in mental health (Craik et al 1998a), focused on educating occupational therapy students to work in mental health.
First, the views of practitioners about their pre-registration education were derived from one component of the practitioners' survey (Craik et al 1998b). One hundred and eleven (81%) practitioners considered that their pre-registration education had been sufficient or partially sufficient to meet their needs on first working in mental health.
Secondly, the views of occupational therapy educators were elicited by a short qualitative survey that replicated three questions about future issues in mental health, which had formed a key constituent of both the practitioners' survey (Craik et al 1998b) and the managers' survey (Craik et al 1999). Important issues for educators were focusing on clients who would benefit most from occupational therapy in community and primary care settings, preparing undergraduates for the unique approach of occupational therapy and the need for more research to support evidence-based practice. Both groups highlighted the value of positive fieldwork placements
