Occupational therapy student Christine Balaba explores writing as tool to be used within occupation therapy, based on her work within acute adult mental health setting. COT Annual Conference 2010 (22-25 June 2010)
Therapeutic skills in occupational therapy include the legitimate tools used to practice occupational therapy effectively. Some of the main therapeutic skills discussed are:
1) Therapeutic use of self which involves building rapport with clients through empathy, active listening, and being genuine.
2) The occupational therapy treatment process which follows the stages of assessment, planning, treatment, and evaluation.
3) The occupational therapy treatment continuum which involves different stages of treatment from preparatory methods to occupational performance.
4) Therapeutic use of activities which includes analyzing, grading, and adapting activities for use in occupational therapy sessions.
The history of occupational therapy began in the early 1900s during the Arts and Crafts movement and was influenced by World War I. Occupational therapy was founded on the idea that participating in meaningful activities promotes health and well-being. The first occupational therapy program was started in 1917 at Milwaukee Downer College. After WWI, occupational therapy adopted a stronger medical model and the American Occupational Therapy Association was formed to promote the standardization and growth of the profession.
This document discusses the therapeutic use of self in occupational therapy. It defines therapeutic rapport as the qualities between client and therapist that involve concentration, communication and enjoyment, affecting client performance and involvement in therapy. Developing a therapeutic relationship requires using empathy, narrative, clinical reasoning and a collaborative approach. Elements of an effective therapeutic relationship include unconditional acceptance, genuineness, empathy, active listening, open-ended questioning, and appropriate use of silence. Establishing rapport provides scaffolding for skill development and improves clients' physiological and emotional health.
This document provides an overview of Imogene King's Theory of Goal Attainment. Some key points:
- King developed her theory while working as a professor of nursing in Chicago.
- The theory focuses on the nurse-patient relationship and how nurses and patients work together through communication and transaction to set and achieve health goals.
- It describes three interacting systems - personal, interpersonal, and social - and concepts relevant to each like perception, communication, and role.
- The goal of nursing according to King is to help individuals and groups attain, maintain, and restore health. This is done through the nursing process of assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation.

The Future of Medical Education From Dreams to Reality (VR, AR, AI)SeriousGamesAssoc
With three decades of e-learning experience, Dr. Levy will present innovations in technology-enhanced education from the past, present, and into the future. He will highlight some of his medical education inventions and advances including some of the first laser discs, CD-ROMs, online case-based education, 3-D anatomical and procedural animations, robotic-assisted surgery, and virtual reality surgical simulation. He will describe the role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in medical education and clinical decision support and some future work in augmented reality. It is true that what were once dreams are now reality, but there are certainly more dreams to come.
The client received 8 sessions of Acceptance-Based Behavior Therapy for generalized anxiety disorder. While the client engaged with some mindfulness exercises and saw some positive behavioral changes, he struggled to engage fully with the treatment. He developed distrust of the therapist and concerns about elicited feelings of attraction and vulnerability. Treatment was terminated early due to inconsistencies between the client's treatment goals and the research protocol. Questionnaires administered before and after treatment showed moderate levels of anxiety, depression, and stress.
Narrative Therapy by Michael White & David EpstonPrateek Sharma
Narrative therapy belongs to the postmodern approaches to therapeutic interventions. Drawing from the seminal work of David Epston and Michael White, I bring out an introductory outline of narrative approaches and their application in clinical psychology.

Nurses treat patients, educate them and provide emotional support. Their duties include recording medical histories, performing tests, operating machinery, administering treatment, and assisting in recovery. Nurses work in various settings like hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, schools, and private homes. Requirements to become a nurse depend on the desired position - LPNs require a high school diploma and one-year training while RNs require an associate's, bachelor's or master's degree in nursing. RNs are licensed and work independently under less supervision compared to LPNs, who work under the direction of physicians or RNs. Salaries for nurses vary based on location and experience but average between $60,000 to $90,
Occupational therapy helps people achieve independence in their daily lives through a Master's degree program that includes courses in psychology, sociology, science and anatomy. The degree can be obtained at Indiana University Northwest, Purdue Calumet or University of Southern Indiana for around $20,657, and graduates must pass the Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant exam. Occupational therapists use skills like judgment, decision making and active listening to help clients, and earn a median salary of $72,320 annually, with an expected increase of 26% in the field.
Doctor patient communication @Mustafa Kemal UniversityDainius Jakučionis
Lecture I gave at Mustafa Kemal University in Turkey, Antakya. Main topic is about doctor patient communication, which could help to increase health outcomes. Important subject about patient-centered communication and approach.
William Glasser developed Choice Theory and Reality Therapy which focus on meeting basic human needs. The five basic needs are survival, love/belonging, freedom, fun, and power. According to Glasser, all behavior is purposeful and aimed at satisfying one or more of these needs. In the classroom, Choice Theory emphasizes giving students choice in what and how they learn to engage their basic needs. Effective discipline involves students taking responsibility for their actions through negotiated contracts rather than punishment.
The document discusses the importance of bedside manner and interprofessional cooperation in healthcare. It states that poor communication among healthcare personnel is a major factor in hospital errors. Bedside manner refers to a healthcare provider's medical knowledge, personality, and ability to understand and communicate with the patient. The document emphasizes the need for etiquette, respectful relationships, and high standards among all healthcare professionals when interacting with patients and colleagues.
Insoo Kim Berg founded Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) with her partner Steve de Shazer in the late 1970s. SFBT focuses on clients' strengths and resources rather than problems, believes clients have the ability to resolve their own concerns, and aims to identify solutions through asking questions instead of providing advice. It has been utilized in various social services fields and is based on the principles that small changes can lead to big differences, the future is negotiable, and the solution is not always directly related to the defined problem.
Lydia Hall developed a nursing theory in the late 1960s that defined nursing care as consisting of three interlocking levels: care, core, and cure. Care involves nurturing and comforting the patient through activities like teaching. Core focuses on developing a relationship with the patient using therapeutic communication to help them express feelings and develop maturity. Cure involves helping patients through medical treatments prescribed by doctors, taking on a more negative role of avoiding pain. The theory emphasizes providing total care to individuals from birth to end of life that considers all three aspects.
Here are the key issues in this case study regarding informed consent:
- Latoya's supervisor is requiring counseling without fully discussing it with Latoya and getting her consent. Forcing treatment without consent is unethical.
- Pauline was not informed upfront about the 6 month wait before getting case assignments. Supervisees have a right to understand expectations and timelines before beginning supervision.
- In both cases, the supervisors failed to properly obtain informed consent from the supervisees regarding important aspects of the supervisory relationship and process. This lack of informed consent poses ethical issues. Supervisors must ensure supervisees understand and consent to supervision parameters.
The document discusses the concepts of ethics and ethical dilemmas, particularly as they relate to various professions such as nursing, social work, business, and medicine. It provides definitions of ethics as moral principles or values that govern a person's behaviors, and of dilemmas as difficult problems with unsatisfactory solutions that involve choosing between competing options. Several examples are given of common ethical dilemmas that arise in different fields, such as truth-telling to patients, patient competence, using extraordinary medical measures to prolong life, and conflicts between patient and family interests. Nursing students' experiences with resolving ethical conflicts are also briefly mentioned.
Narrative therapy views problems as arising from the stories people tell about their world and aims to help clients develop alternative stories. The therapist acts as a detective to understand the client's experiences and helps the client become the author of their own life by asking questions, exploring exceptions to problems, and facilitating the discovery of new meanings and perspectives through conversation. The goal is not to fix problems but to create shifts in the client's stories that empower them and bring new competence and resolution to difficulties.
Men make up a small minority of nurses in Canada and around the world. Historically, nursing was promoted as a women's profession in the Victorian era, which discouraged men from entering. While calls have been made to recruit more men since the early 1900s, perceptions of nursing as feminine and fears of questioning masculinity have remained barriers. Men also face challenges of gender-biased practices in education like different expectations placed on them, and restrictions in areas like obstetrics due to perceptions of their touch being sexualized. These factors influence men to choose specialties like intensive care over intimate areas and can lead to feelings of isolation. Improving retention requires addressing men's experiences in education and practice environments.

This document provides an introduction and overview of a course on human occupation for occupational therapy students. The 3-sentence summary is:
The course aims to introduce students to the concept of occupation from an occupational therapy perspective, covering topics like history, philosophy and the relevance of occupation to health. Students will complete workshops, essays, and fieldwork to develop an understanding of humans as occupational beings. The document outlines the course objectives, assessments, schedule, and introduces key concepts and perspectives in occupational therapy.
This lecture covers occupational identity, the link between identity and meaningful activities, and health. Occupational identity is how people see themselves through their various roles and activities. It is shaped by relationships, actions, narratives, and participation history. Engaging in meaningful, purposeful activities promotes occupational satisfaction and positive identity. Occupation provides self-definition, direction, and a sense of belonging. The lecture discusses understanding occupation through participant observation of a chosen activity and relating it to identity, meaning, and frameworks.
This document provides an introduction to philosophy and its relationship to occupational therapy. It defines philosophy as the love of wisdom and discusses how philosophers have attempted to answer major human questions about topics like the meaning of life and the nature of knowledge. The document explains that occupational therapists have drawn on philosophy to argue that being occupied is essential to being human. It discusses how philosophers and occupational scientists/therapists have explored questions about the nature and importance of human occupations.
This document describes a narrative therapy approach using writing in an open journal between a therapist (Chris) and client (Laurie) over 18 months. It discusses how writing helped Laurie express her experience living with mental illness and years of treatment, and supported her finding her own path to wellness. The authors reflect on how the open journal differed from other writing in therapy by allowing both the therapist and client to write to each other to deepen understanding and make sessions more client-directed.
This document provides an annotated bibliography of leadership reference books. It summarizes 20 books on leadership, focusing on key themes and lessons they provide about developing vision, motivating others, transforming organizations, and cultivating effective leadership skills and attributes.

The framework is positivist, systemic, and person-centered. It values understanding individuals within their contexts, sees language and ways of thinking as tools developed socially, facilitates clarifying clients' motivations and strengths to encourage self-sustaining change, and recognizes the challenges of different cultural paradigms. The author aims to thoughtfully apply research-informed approaches while respecting different perspectives.
Citations provide references to sources of information used in research papers. There are different citation styles like APA and MLA that determine the proper format for citations. APA style uses in-text citations with author and date, while MLA uses signal phrases and parenthetical citations. Citations are important as they allow readers to find original sources, demonstrate research efforts were made, and provide external support for arguments in the paper.
This research proposal aims to investigate the concepts of creativity, curiosity, spontaneity, playfulness and flow and their relationship to leisure activities and occupational therapy. The author conducted a literature review which found limited research directly comparing play and flow. The proposal seeks to independently study the meanings of playfulness and flow and identify if experiences of flow occur during self-perceived creative leisure occupations. The overall research question is to improve understanding of playfulness and its relationship to flow to help develop creative intervention in occupational therapy.
This document summarizes Ron Ritchhart's book "Creating Cultures of Thinking: The 8 Forces We Must Master to Truly Transform Our Schools". The book explores Ritchhart's research on how classroom culture can nurture students' thinking skills. It identifies 8 cultural forces that shape thinking cultures: expectations, language, time, modeling, opportunities, routines, interactions, and environment. Each chapter defines a force and provides a case study example. The book argues that developing students' thinking dispositions must be the primary goal of schools and that cultural forces can encourage deep learning. It aims to help teachers and schools transform their cultures into ones that foster independent, creative thinking.

Attitude Markers In Book Reviews The Case Of Applied Linguistics Discourse C...Martha Brown
This document summarizes a study that analyzed the use of evaluative language, known as attitude markers, in book reviews published in applied linguistics journals. The study examined 49 book reviews using Appraisal Theory, which looks at affect, judgment, and appreciation resources. It found that appreciation resources, which evaluate scholarly works, were used most frequently. This demonstrated that reviewers tended to directly evaluate the books, rather than judge authors or express personal feelings. While some subjectivity was present, the reviews balanced subjectivity and objectivity expected in academic writing. The findings expand understanding of Appraisal Theory and have implications for applied linguistics education.

This document outlines the literature review for a research project investigating whether the creative process can be used to explore a personal experience of bipolar disorder. It discusses three main areas: the creative process, bipolar disorder, and methodologies. Autoethnography is proposed as a methodology that acknowledges the researcher's power to explore their own life experiences. The creative process and autoethnography would be combined, using a spectrum from analytic to evocative approaches. 'Data' may include diaries, artworks, images and videos. The research would have academic and patient audiences. Ethics considerations are also important when using oneself as a research subject.

Integrative and Biopsychosocial Approaches in Contemporary Clinical Psychology
Chapter Objective
· To highlight and outline how contemporary clinical psychology integrates the major theoretical models using a biopsychosocial approach.
Chapter Outline
· The Call to Integration
· Biopsychosocial Integration
· Synthesizing Biological, Psychological, and Social Factors in Contemporary Integration
· Highlight of a Contemporary Clinical Psychologist: Stephanie Pinder-Amaker, PhD
· Application of the Biopsychosocial Perspective to Contemporary Clinical Psychology Problems
· Conclusion
Having now reviewed the four major theoretical and historical models in psychology in Chapter 5, this chapter illustrates how integration is achieved in the actual science and practice of clinical psychology. In addition to psychological perspectives per se, a full integration of human functioning demands a synthesis of psychological factors with both biological and social elements. This combination of biological, psychological, and social factors comprises an example of contemporary integration in the form of the biopsychosocial perspective. This chapter describes the evolution of individual psychological perspectives into a more comprehensive biopsychosocial synthesis, perhaps first touched upon 2,500 years ago by the Greeks.
The Call to Integration
While there are over 400 different types of approaches to psychotherapy and other professional services offered by clinical psychologists (Karasu, 1986), the major schools of thought reviewed and illustrated in Chapter 5 have emerged during the past century as the primary perspectives in clinical psychology. As mentioned, these include the psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, and family s.
Similar to Writing – A Powerful Tool Enabling Occupational Participation (20)
A large amount of specialist occupational therapy equipment was being returned to stores without being used due to a lack of expertise among store staff. An occupational therapy technical instructor was appointed to establish an equipment recycling service to maximize recycling. The project aimed to improve communication between occupational therapy and equipment services staff and reduce costs by improving the efficient use and recycling of returned specialist equipment.
This document describes an occupational therapy visual screening tool developed for use in a stroke unit. It provides a brief history of the tool's development and outlines the screening process. An audit of the tool found it identified visual problems in patients, guided appropriate referrals, and provided benefits to patients and occupational therapists by streamlining the screening and intervention process. Future plans include re-auditing the tool, expanding its education and use, and gathering feedback to further improve visual screening for stroke patients.

The document discusses reablement, a service model that aims to help older people regain independence through daily living skills. It proposes establishing reablement teams in localities, each consisting of an occupational therapist and support workers. A pilot in two localities saw 82% of referrals accepted, and 59% of users discharged with no ongoing support needed after an average of 9.85 days. User feedback praised the staff as caring, supportive and helpful in regaining independence. The goal is to continue expanding reablement services across localities.
This document discusses occupational therapy initiatives to help people with disabilities and mental health issues find and maintain employment. It describes programs like Individual Placement Support that help people find competitive jobs and the Acute Care Job Clinic that assists those receiving mental health treatment to retain their current jobs. The document also discusses the benefits of work for recovery and presents case studies of individuals who found employment through these programs.
The slideshow introduces the British Association and College of Occupational Therapists (BAOT/COT), the professional body and trade union for occupational therapists in the UK. It discusses the structure and roles of the BAOT and COT. The BAOT/COT sets educational requirements, standards for practice, and provides resources like professional indemnity and journals for members. Members can influence the organization through councils, boards, committees, and special interest sections. The slideshow provides information on decision making processes and resources available to members.
This document provides information about Glasgow City Council's telecare services. It defines telecare as using telecommunications to remotely deliver care services to people in their homes. The basic telecare system includes an alarm unit and pendant that connects people to a response center for assistance. Additional devices monitor for specific risks like seizures or falls. Over 15,000 people have basic systems, while 3,000 have enhanced systems with movement sensors. The response center handles over 50,000 emergency calls per month. Social workers currently refer clients for extra devices. Future plans include staff training and new assessment tools.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 discusses developing an evidence-based research and development strategy for occupational therapists. It outlines that such a strategy is needed to meet government policy requirements, professional body requirements, and standards for registration. It recommends auditing current skills and interests, gaining support from trust leadership, and developing a strategy that specifies goals, methods, and required resources to improve research skills and conduct practice-based research.
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.

This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Editor's Notes
I would like to discuss writing as tool to be used within occupation therapy.My presentation is based on the example of a writing group in acute adult mental health which I have been facilitating for the past 5 years.
Co-facilitators: take it in turns to plan to the session Group name: creative writingCosteffectiveness
Clients in competency stage: Lacks awareness of abilities/limitations in unfamiliar activities· Lack of control over occupational outcomes in unfamiliar activities · Expectation of failure in unfamiliar activities· Inability to pursue identified enjoyable activities· Inability to pursue what is most important· Difficulty meeting responsibilities · Difficulty structuring a whole day in meaningful way· Skills not effective in meeting goals · Physical and social environment variable in support
Before I discuss the aims and content of our group I would like to introduce research in relation to therapeutic writing. Group originally developed solely with the main purpose of expressing meaning in writing .Group is still based on these principles (above).
For Pennebaker it is about expressing emotions and its benefits!
Hilse, an OT looked at the use of poetry within OT practice Writing creates and communicates meaning
Members of survivors poetry argue that opportunities to write and share can only be available in a meaningful sense outside of the unequal relationship between health professionals and client. (Sampson & Hart 2005) However recovery starts in hospital, people don’t stop living when they are admitted into psychiatric. For many that’s the time to start planning your life again..., just before you move on...
Not like art therapy or drama therapy, etc. This is were the chance line for OT to develop Writing can stir up a lot of emotion
Writing to bring about change
Goals are in line with the MOHO protocols developed with CNWL Foundation Trust. Group is designed to help patients identify goals, interests, and needs. Clients at this stage may have responsibilities of take a very active role, planning topics for the session, or making suggestions to plan next weeks session. Actively responding to other group members contributions and helping others within the group setting (etc. spelling, encouragement) Making choices is encouraged. Encouraged to set their own goals within group context.
Model of human occupation gives the necessary foundation for the writing, helps us as OT’s to remain occupation focused. The content and topics used within the sessions are planned in line with MOHO. All these areas are considered within planning and carrying out the group
Materials used as inspirations and to give ideas in orderto prepare topics to be explored in the group Stayed away from “poetry workshop”. Some participants find the very mention of poetry off-putting (couldn’t write a poem), but might respond effectively to producing a list, or a letter... So we tried to leave the name as open as possible.
Writing about occupational roles of past, presence and future
Daily routines
Some people may feel silenced, feel unable to speak (cultural or other reasons) ... May still be able to write Sharing the work: Clients are encouraged to share the work Acute admission: experience strong feelings, writing often a way of regulating these feelings (from letters to the Queen to letters to the consultant) Unsent letters are useful for resolving difficult situations (tell what you really think)
Therapist uses the approach required in the situationTherapist would usually participate in the writing process Takes sensitivity from part of the therapist if and what information to share appropriately in the context of the group.
Challenges of writing in mental health and in groupsVolition: Motivation for occupation, poor sense of personal effectiveness (very important how you engage someone for the group, how you label the session) School memory avilitation: writing often can be associated with strong negative emotions (English lessons at school!)Language barrier: we encourage participants to write in any language they would like Stay on acute: varies a lot (months or days) which is a great challenge to continuity. Links with community mental health team in terms of writing in the community would need to be established
MOHOST: completed within two weeks of admission on the ward, performance within the writing group is incorporated
Roles for clients: clients to plan sessionsJournal writing: encourage and facilitate private journal writing Links with the community: writing groups in the community New group on ICU: requires a more structured approach (exploration level)
