The personal perspective of OTs could affect the provision of AT services. Understanding the relationship between the perspectives of OTs and the provision of AT services to older adult clients is crucial to this study. The study was conducted in the form of rapid narrative analysis. Seven articles of four categories were found and analyzed. The categories are perspective on practice, facilitators, barriers, and needs. OTs provide AT services to older adult clients as part of a person-centred care approach; however, limited follow-up care, timing, and awareness were cited as barriers to AT services delivery. Caregiver involvement is a potential factor for AT services delivery. Although, education and training on the use of the AT are required. It’s important to note that, there is no relevant data from low and middle-income countries.","PeriodicalId":53208,"journal":{"name":"World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin","volume":"79 1","pages":"127 - 133"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47711860","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}

The aims of this paper are to demonstrate the multitude of factors that shape return to work (RTW) practices across and within several countries, and argue for the need to explore RTW from an international perspective during an on-going pandemic, focusing on working age adults who have recovered from COVID-19. Conditions for RTW differ across countries. Occupational therapy has a central role in medical rehabilitation after injury and illness (including COVID-19), but the occupational therapy community has, to the best of our knowledge, yet to raise awareness and advance evidence regarding its role in post-COVID RTW processes. A robust evidence-based knowledge on RTW that can be utilised by occupational therapists during the present and future pandemics is needed.","PeriodicalId":53208,"journal":{"name":"World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin","volume":"79 1","pages":"42 - 52"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43117467","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}

As reported, 40.3% had limitations restrict their ability to document OT services, 72.6% documented through manual forms, and 73.4% adhered to confidentiality requirements. Most participants required extra time (72.6%) and extra efforts (63.7%) for documentation, 45.2% believed that legal issues may arise if they do not document and all agreed documentation is essential. Comprehensive accurate documentation can be challenging with limited time, high caseload, inconsistency in formatting and terminology, and lack of experience and support. Documentation skills, knowledge, and content may vary based on ways of documentation, country of practice, age, experience, and education. This study represents an important first step in mapping knowledge and standardising documentation among Arab occupational therapists.","PeriodicalId":53208,"journal":{"name":"World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin","volume":"78 1","pages":"90 - 98"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41940063","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}

Therefore, the transferability and generalisability of the published research to the Malaysian context is questionable. The purpose of this study was to examine Malaysian occupational therapists’ perceptions of the developed definition of OBI and how they put it into practice. Three focus group discussions were conducted. Participants were recruited among Malaysian occupation-based practitioners. Data were analysed using a manifest and latent content analysis. The major finding that emerged from the data analysis was the practice of OBI in Malaysia, which was further divided into how OBI is implemented in Malaysia, and the facilitators to practise OBI. This study’s findings suggest that OBI was implemented in various ways by the Malaysian occupational therapists despite agreeing with the developed definition of OBI as occupation as a means and an end.","PeriodicalId":53208,"journal":{"name":"World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin","volume":"79 1","pages":"63 - 71"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45621391","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}

The study used reflexive notes from the reflexive stance of the primary researcher in her doctoral study for assisting the construction of a substantial theory in the development of social participation among Thai adults with depression. Krengjai, or mutual dependence in social life and coexistence, revealed a linkage reciprocating support and challenged rebounding social participation. The reflexivity of krengjai showed limitations and appropriateness for social participation among Thai adults with depression. In conclusion, krengjai’s reflexivity encouraged the researcher’s and grounded theory study’s moral and theoretical sensitivity.","PeriodicalId":53208,"journal":{"name":"World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin","volume":"78 1","pages":"99 - 108"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42825666","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}

The study utilised the Self-Assessment of Clinical Reflection and Reasoning (SACRR) at initiation and completion of the study, 11 months apart, and a focus group. The results found significant changes in self-perceived clinical reflection skills in items 23 and 25 on the SACRR. Qualitative themes were increased confidence in clinical skills and occupational therapy practice, importance of evidence-based practice, significance of mentorship and inter- and intra-professional collaboration, and programme improvements.

The last 70 years have seen the growth and development of occupational therapy globally, with WFOT growing from 10 to 105 member organisations. While the important core principle of occupational activity (occupations) in our daily lives has remained constant in those 70 years, the approach, and how we do them has changed. As occupational therapists we have continued to adapt and change to meet the needs of the societies and cultures in which we work.

Occupational therapists have been pushing boundaries since the inception of the Federation in 1952. For instance, through the World Federation, we were the first of the health care professions to establish an international recognition system for professional education programmes. Early in the development of the WFOT as a global entity, our forebears forged collaborative relations with the World Health Organisation, meaning we were at the forefront of the establishment of rights for all to health and wellness. The WFOT has provided leadership for its members through position papers, guidelines, global collaborations and learning opportunities. New learning opportunities exist in our coming WFOT Congress, to be held in Paris in August this year, and in the learning modules now available on the WFOT website (www.learning.wfot. org). Recently, the WFOT has focused, among other areas, on disaster preparedness and response. For instance, a colleague and I recently completed the WFOT Manual on Disaster Preparedness and Risk Reduction (WFOT, in production). You may ask why another manual on disaster management, but you need only look at our changing global weather patterns and the resulting migration to find an answer. There is now much discussion around the world about climate migrants, the subject of the WFOT’s most recent online learning opportunity. Many more people are moving away from rural areas, as livelihoods become unsustainable. The prediction is that by 2050 about 70% of the world population will live in cities. Across the world, we are facing the prospect of increased numbers of both internal and cross-border migrations. And it is highly likely that larger communities —with their potential to offer housing, employment, safety, jobs, education, and health care access—will be the favoured destinations. According to the UN (World Urbanisation Prospects 2018), half of humanity—3.5 billion people—live in cities today; 5 billion people are projected to move away from rural areas by 2030. What can we, as occupational therapists and global citizens, do to support this inevitable migration? As visionaries, how do we see ourselves involved with this transformation in the future? Are we truly agents of change? And, if so, where do we start and how do we progress? Check out the leaning opportunities on learning.wfot.org In this, the 70th Anniversary Year of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists, we look back and look forward. We may envision a better future, despite what we read in our news feeds, and consider how we can gain insights from the past. We could take our lead from our occupational therapy forebears, who had the courage to be change agents, and forerunners in development (see Platinum Anniversary – 70 years of Highlights and Influences of the World Federation of Occupational Therapists in this issu","PeriodicalId":53208,"journal":{"name":"World Federation of Occupational Therapists Bulletin","volume":"78 1","pages":"1 - 2"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46712671","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}
