https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0181-5581Due to a drastic increase in child and adolescent mental health difficulties worldwide, there is a constant need to evaluate current practices and further develop person-centred practices. The importance of person-centred practices is highlighted in research worldwide. This study will look into the potential development of person-centred practices within a child and adolecent mental health in-patient unit, the Young People’s Unit. Initially the current care practices, and person-centred moments were explored, which then lead to the development of pathways to create person-centred practices. This study followed a philosophical inquiry based on the SECI model and the concept of Ba developed by Ikujiro Nonaka. Data was collected from 15 young persons admitted to the Young People’s Unit. 15 main caregivers and the healthcare professionals which were part of the multi-discplinary team within the unit. 3 Different methods were used, the Draw, Write & Tell with the young persons, semi-structured interviews with the main caregivers, and observations by the researcher using the WCCAT-R tool and the world cafe method with the multidisciplinary team. The use of different methods ensured that the methods used were age appropriate. The externalistion and combination stage of the SECI model were done collaboratively with two young persons, two main care givers and 2 healthcare professionals who were initially participants in the data collection of the research. The involvement of different stakeholder in the data analysis resulted in the investigation of different aspects of the data which otherwise may have been missed. This study also looks into how Ba was created throughout the research process, and shows how this is congruent with the principles which are adopted in person-centred research.pubpu
The IGNITE (investigation to guide new insight into translational effectiveness) trial: Protocol for a translational study of an evidenced-based wellness program in fire departments
No full textAbstract Background Worksites are important locations for interventions to promote health. However, occupational programs with documented efficacy often are not used, and those being implemented have not been studied. The research in this report was funded through the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act Challenge Topic 'Pathways for Translational Research,' to define and prioritize determinants that enable and hinder translation of evidenced-based health interventions in well-defined settings. Methods The IGNITE (investigation to guide new insights for translational effectiveness) trial is a prospective cohort study of a worksite wellness and injury reduction program from adoption to final outcomes among 12 fire departments. It will employ a mixed methods strategy to define a translational model. We will assess decision to adopt, installation, use, and outcomes (reach, individual outcomes, and economic effects) using onsite measurements, surveys, focus groups, and key informant interviews. Quantitative data will be used to define the model and conduct mediation analysis of each translational phase. Qualitative data will expand on, challenge, and confirm survey findings and allow a more thorough understanding and convergent validity by overcoming biases in qualitative and quantitative methods used alone. Discussion Findings will inform worksite wellness in fire departments. The resultant prioritized influences and model of effective translation can be validated and manipulated in these and other settings to more efficiently move science to service.</p

Figured world of eating disorders: Occupations of illness
No full textBackground. The biomedical diagnosis of eating disorders signifies a mental illness with complex physical symptomology. The socio-cultural determinants and impact of eating disorders on daily occupations are not adequately addressed in this classification. \ud
\ud
Purpose. This paper introduces the concept of a figured world as a framework for how eating disorders exist in daily activity and social discourse. How occupations become ascribed with meaning generated by an eating disorder will be proposed through the voice of a composite character in the figured world. \ud
\ud
Key Issues. Central elements to contextualizing figured worlds include positional identity, self-authoring, and semiotic mediation. The generation of meaning in illness arises from the integration of these elements into this specific figured world. \ud
\ud
Implications. The competing agendas of the biomedical model and figured world permit a new understanding of the challenges associated with recovery. For occupational therapists, these challenges require the reattribution of meaning of daily occupations
Finding the Fun in Daily Occupation: An Investigation of Humor
No full textHumor as a human phenomenon has long been explored for its perceived therapeutic benefits. To date, occupational therapy's contribution to this exploration has been limited, despite attention to rapport-building. This article provides an overview of the humor literature, particularly highlighting the neuroscience of humor, laughter, and fun, to craft an argument that humor is biologically, socially, and contextually grounded and influential in affecting the experience of occupational engagement. Translation of humor and fun into daily activity through clinical examples from an eating disorder program are introduced, along with the possibility of using fun to support social, emotional, and behavioral change
Being Mindful about Mindfulness: An Invitation to Extend Occupational Engagement into the Growing Mindfulness Discourse
No full textThis paper provides a rationale for the recognition of mindfulness in the occupational science discourse. There is a plethora of diverse scholastic interest in mindfulness, however not within the occupational science discipline. Mindfulness has a natural fit with occupation; its informal practice of awareness cultivation facilitates heightened engagement in and attunement to activity and the formal practice of mindfulness through meditation is itself an occupation. This paper reviews mindfulness and its contribution to enhancement of life quality and personal well-being. Additionally it speculates why mindfulness is not adequately represented in occupational science literature and research, and provides rationale for the inclusion of mindfulness into the discipline's field of investigation. In constructing this rationale, mindfulness is differentiated from the psychological concepts of flow, consciousness, and presence which in the literature are more commonly associated to participation in occupation. The author's own mindful experience while engaged in occupation serves as a backdrop against which to support the inclusion of mindfulness into occupational science scholarship.sch_occ18pub3701pub
