Assignment: Membership in Professional Organizations
At various points in your career as a nurse, you have most likely observed significant problems in your practice environment(s). Take a few minutes to think about the problems you have noticed.
Through the DNP degree, candidates develop the tools needed to address practice-related concerns through evidence-based solutions. In this week’s media presentation, Dr. Beechinor and Dr. Stefan discuss this process while sharing their own DNP projects and the needs these projects addressed. Candidates in the PhD program conduct research involving a problem related to practice or another area of professional interest and, as such, often work with DNP-prepared nurses.
To support your doctoral project and growth as a scholar-practitioner, you are required to join a professional nursing organization. Membership in a professional organization offers numerous benefits, including educational endeavors, advocacy opportunities, up-to-date information of interest to the profession, and much more. Some organizations offer scholarships, continuing education units, and a means for disseminating current research findings. In addition, joining a professional organization can help you to become involved in decision making at the organizational level and provide a venue for engaging in social change efforts that benefit your community.
This week’s Assignment serves as your Major Assessment for this course. You identify a DNP project or research topic and select an organization that will facilitate or be useful to you as you engage in your doctoral project (DNP Scholarly project or dissertation research). In addition, the professional nursing organization should be relevant for your current or anticipated professional practice. You then outline plans for participation in the organization and articulate how this could help you meet your professional goals and support your project development.
To prepare:

Green-care-using-nature-for-health-Sempik's.pp.doc.ppt
Green care uses nature-based activities to promote health and well-being. It has a long history dating back to the 13th century where farms and gardens were used to care for those with mental illnesses. While hospital farms declined in the mid-20th century due to new drug treatments, various nature-based therapies have since developed and consolidated, including horticultural therapy, care farming, animal-assisted therapy, and ecotherapy. Green care provides benefits such as social inclusion, structure, identity and attention restoration through experiences with and activities in nature.
Getting it right for people with Learning Disabilities
The document summarizes background information on healthcare inequalities faced by people with learning disabilities. It then outlines the work of the "Getting it Right" group, which aims to improve healthcare professionals' ability to treat people with learning disabilities. The group is made up of various organizations and produces guidance on communicating effectively with people with learning disabilities and understanding their rights. It concludes by mentioning an update on challenging behavior.
Equipment and the Specialist LD OT role
The document discusses guidance from the College of Occupational Therapists on the specialist learning disability occupational therapy role. It outlines principles for occupational therapy services for adults with learning disabilities, including that they should provide services related to how a learning disability affects occupational performance. It also discusses current issues like pressure on occupational therapists to provide both minor and major adaptations. Recommendations include developing close working relationships with mainstream services to facilitate access. The document also summarizes new Scottish guidance on equipment and adaptations provision and implications for occupational therapy, including identifying assessors and developing specialist roles in major adaptations.
Greener OT
The document discusses making healthcare more environmentally sustainable. It notes that climate change causes significant harm and economic losses worldwide. The document calls for occupational therapists to help make the NHS carbon footprint smaller by using more sustainable transportation, virtual meetings, and electronic records. Occupational therapists are also encouraged to support service users in environmentally-friendly activities like community gardening, composting, recycling, and using more sustainable modes of transportation.
ICT Services LD Chris Austin
This document summarizes a workshop on ICT services for people with learning disabilities presented by Chris Austin in Edinburgh, Scotland in September 2010. The workshop aimed to optimize independence, safety, choice, and participation in the community through ICT. It covered what ICT and related services are, including electronic care records, telecare, telehealth, and mobile health and social care. Future possibilities with ICT were discussed, such as integrated shared care records and routine outcomes measurement. The presenter suggested ways attendees could help advance these services through networking, piloting projects, research, and education.
Keynote Address Scott Watkin
Occupational therapists can help people with learning disabilities and their families in several key ways: (1) They should take a person-centered approach and focus on helping individuals achieve life outcomes like employment, housing, health, and social relationships. (2) Therapists should use their skills to assist people with learning disabilities in getting and participating in a full life. (3) It is important that therapists work to include everyone and remember those who are often excluded.
MOHOST XL Sue Parkinson
The document discusses the development of a new screening tool. It describes various professionals collaborating to generate ideas and criteria for personal skills and environmental supports. Draft versions were created and piloted, with feedback indicating it showed strengths and could be useful for therapy and tracking changes. Additional feedback was incorporated and links to occupational therapy theory were explored, with the goal of further development and testing of the screening tool.
Overcoming Difficulties with Waiting List Targets
Waiting list targets were introduced in the UK to improve access to healthcare services but have unintended consequences. Occupational therapists feel the targets limit the scope of their work and focus more on quantity over quality. A data collection tool is being developed to gather evidence on the impact of waiting list targets on occupational therapy services, such as larger caseloads and pressure to accept more referrals regardless of appropriateness. Feedback will be collected on the draft tool to finalize it for use by occupational therapists.
assistive-equip-LLL event-London region-parsons.pp.ppt
1) The document discusses how users feel about the appearance of assistive devices and its impact on their occupational participation and independence.
2) The literature review found that acceptance of assistive devices depends on incorporating them into one's self-image of independence rather than disability, and people feel stigmatized by devices that are very visible as disability aids.
3) More thoughtful design of assistive devices that considers both function and form is likely to lead to greater acceptance and increased occupational participation.

The document outlines a 5-step process for evidence-based practice (EBP) in healthcare: 1) Asking an answerable question, 2) Searching for the best evidence, 3) Critically appraising the evidence, 4) Integrating the evidence with expertise and patient values, and 5) Evaluating performance. It then provides more details on forming answerable clinical questions using the PICO framework and on critically appraising evidence through activities like journal clubs. Journal clubs aim to help practitioners stay up to date on research, evaluate if practice needs to change, and involve interactive discussion of papers using appraisal tools to assess validity and usefulness.

The document discusses the use of mental practice in occupational therapy for stroke patients. It defines mental practice as the symbolic rehearsal of a physical activity through mental imagery without physical movement. The document reviews the types and effectiveness of mental imagery, and discusses several studies that show mental practice can improve affected limb function for stroke patients when combined with physical therapy. It concludes that mental practice is a promising rehabilitation approach but more research is still needed to establish guidelines and understand its long-term benefits.model-of-human-occ-and-prac-dev-LLL event-London Region-heasman.pdf

The document discusses the implementation of the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) across multiple mental health trusts in the UK. It summarizes the following key points:
1) MOHO was chosen as the primary occupational therapy model due to its strong evidence base and standardized assessment tools. Infrastructure was established, including purchasing assessment tools and appointing a practice development occupational therapist.
2) Training workshops were held to educate therapists on applying MOHO in practice. Ongoing support mechanisms like clinical forums and the UK Centre for Outcomes Research & Evaluation were also provided.
3) Preliminary results showed over 500 MOHO assessments were completed across multiple services. Outcome measurement tools demonstrated improvements in clients' scores fromMore from Royal College of Occupational Therapists (20)

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

- 2. Objective: Describe initiatives to recognize barriers and implement initiatives to assist internationally educated occupational therapists (IEOTs) with working in Canada Projects funded by the Government of Canada’s Foreign Credential Recognition Program Process for coming
- 3. Project partners Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists Association of Canadian Occupational Therapy University Programs Association of Canadian Occupational Therapy Regulatory Organizations
- 4. With thanks to Government of Canada’s Foreign Credential Recognition Program
Editor's Notes
- For the reasons of better economic prospects, social opportunity or pure adventure, many occupational therapists seek employment in other countries. Unfortunately not all are successful. As a profession that enables engagement in occupations of necessity or choice, we need to address issues that impede the successful workforce integration of internationally educated occupational therapists (IEOTs). This presentation outlines the initiatives of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists to recognize barriers and implement initiatives to assist IEOTs with working in Canada. Projects funded by the Government of Canada’s Foreign Credential Recognition Program
- The project will build upon previous work undertaken for internationally educated occupational therapists (IEOTs) by both organizations in order to:Develop a curriculum and supports for IEOTs that can be delivered by occupational therapy programs across Canada and to offshore IEOTs who wish to work in Canada.Assist individual IEOTs to determine what resources they need in order to transition successfully into practice in Canada.Provide profession specific language resources to IEOTs who were not educated in one of the official languages.Nurture culturally appropriate work readiness skills.Provide examination practice.Encourage the development of mentoring relationships.Provide supervised practicum experience.Provide career guidance for those IEOTs who are unable to transition into Canadian occupational therapy practice.The OTepp curriculum and other resources will be made available in both official languages. We are hoping to implement this curriculum at the University of British Columbia, University of Alberta, University of Manitoba and University of Ottawa.
