The purpose of this study was to survey one specific health care grouping, occupational therapists, and examine their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors specific to marijuana use. Methods: Following IRB approval, a national random sample of 500 occupational therapists were postal mailed survey packets which included a cover letter and a multi-page questionnaire. Results: One hundred ninety-five surveys were returned. The majority reported marijuana use was legal in their state for medicinal but not for recreational purposes. Less than ten percent had ever used marijuana for medical reasons; however, two out of five reported they had used marijuana for recreational purposes, though typically not within the previous five years. Reasons for use included to get high and to be sociable. A majority agreed marijuana should be legalized in all states for medical purposes, but conceded this would lead to more people trying it and making it more accessible to minors. Discussion: Discussion addresses these results in relation to general population usage, national legalization trends, and reported health benefits and concerns.","PeriodicalId":376273,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116158344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research indicates that healthcare students entering their clinical rotations may lack these sets of skills The lack of soft skills during clinical experience can strain the student’s professional relationship with their clinical educators/instructors (supervisors) and may result in failure After a review of relevant literature, the purpose of this research project is to augment the evidence-based, soft skills training curriculum being developed at SUNY Downstate Medical Center Occupational Therapy Master’s Program through the production of three educational videos that incorporate the perspectives of clinical educators, alumni, and current students. The goal of the project is to increase students’ knowledge of emotional intelligence and inspire self-awareness and reflection on their own professionalism. The curriculum would ideally function to increase students’ success during clinical rotations and develop more competent clinicians. The curriculum was piloted with second year occupational therapy students prior to their clinical rotations. The curriculum educated students on soft skills and promoted reflection on their own professionalism. The curriculum findings demonstrated significant outcomes with students reporting the use of emotional intelligence skills during clinical rotations to be valuable. The findings of this study indicate that the need for emotional intelligence training may also be applicable and valuable to students in various healthcare programs.","PeriodicalId":376273,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120957352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"To Compare the Effectiveness of Active Stretching and Eccentric Training on Hamstrings Spasticity in Spastic Cerebral Palsy Children","authors":"Summaiya Zareen Shaikh","doi":"10.23880/aphot-16000139","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.23880/aphot-16000139","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: To compare the effectiveness of Active-Stretching and Eccentric Training on Hamstrings spasticity in spastic cerebral palsy children. Design: Experimental Study Participants: 30 patients with cerebral palsy in the age group of 4-18 years (Modified Ashworth Scale till Grade 2) participated in this study. Intervention: All the patients were randomly selected from the OPD of Physiotherapy clinic after signing of consent form they were given 1 week rehabilitation protocol of Active Stretching(Group A) and Eccentric Strengthening(Group B). Modified Tardieu Scale, Popliteal Angle and GMFM Score were used to assess the spasticity. Main outcome measures: Modified Tardieu Scale, Popliteal Angle and GMFM Score. Result: On Day 1 and Day 7 Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS) was administered for Hamstrings, GMFM score -D (STANDING) was taken and Popliteal Angle was measured. To compare the values of MTS, GMFM and Popliteal angle at the end of 1 week in each group, repeated measure ANOVA was used. Further multivariate test was used to see the measure of strength of association and level of significance in each group. Conclusion: This study concludes that Eccentric Training has better improvement of Modified Tardieu Scale (MTS), GMFM Score and Popliteal Angle, over Active Stretching in reducing the Hamstrings muscle spasticity over a 1 week training program. Hence this study accepts the hypothesis that “Eccentric training is more effective than Active Stretching on Hamstrings spasticity in spastic cerebral palsy.","PeriodicalId":376273,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Physiotherapy & Occupational Therapy","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126306699","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
