Occupational therapy treatments are required to deliver better services and to promote a comprehensive service approach. Occupational therapy awareness is critical for providing high-quality care to all patients. There is, however, a paucity of studies aimed at determining occupational therapy awareness and knowledge. This study aimed to develop a questionnaire to assess health-care professionals' (HP's) awareness and knowledge of occupational therapy. Objectives: This study aimed to develop a reliable questionnaire to assess HP's awareness and knowledge about occupational therapy. Study Design: This study was based on a cross-sectional design. Methods: The questionnaire was created in three stages. Initially, the first stage was to do a literature review for item generation. The second stage was to circulate a draft of the questionnaire among experts for face validity, and stage three was to test the reliability of items. Results: The generated items underwent face validity by ten experts. After face validation, the final questionnaire consisting of two sections (awareness and knowledge about OT and advocacy) were circulated to fifty health-care professionals. A statistical analysis (Cronbach's alpha) was done to analyze internal consistency, which indicates α = 0.78. Conclusion: This study concludes that the questionnaire is reliable for exploring awareness and knowledge about occupational therapy.","PeriodicalId":75019,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of occupational therapy","volume":"34 1","pages":"44 - 50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88120638","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}

A 14-year-old young female studying in 10th standard diagnosed as left-sided dorsolumbar congenital kyphoscoliosis with apex of scoliosis at 11th dorsal segment level was assessed. She presented with lower extremity spasticity, imbalance, and scissoring gait. Assessment was done using the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Modified Barthel Index (MBI). Immediate postoperative OT intervention was started inclusive of balance and gait training. Significant improvement was observed on BBS score preoperatively before therapy from score 11 to post therapy score 50 after therapy was initiated and MBI score preoperatively 11 to post therapy 20 after ADL training at 8 months of therapy.","PeriodicalId":75019,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of occupational therapy","volume":"10 1","pages":"29 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87817341","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":"Effect of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on academics of students pursuing masters of occupational therapy in Maharashtra state: An observational cross sectional study","authors":"Shilpshree Palsule, Henna Khanna","doi":"10.4103/ijoth.ijoth_65_21","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/ijoth.ijoth_65_21","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Masters in occupational therapy (OT) is a 3-year course offered by the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences. Maharashtra was one of the worst affected states by the pandemic in 2020 and thus its impact on academics might show greater ill effects. This study was conducted with an objective to understand the health-care students' perspective of how the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic affected their present academic and clinical reasoning skills and what they think about their future career in OT. The literature also suggests that health-care students experienced stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, but hardly any study was conducted on OT students. Hence, this study was conducted to identify the students' perspectives on perceived stress and academics due to the pandemic situation. Objectives: The objective of this study is to understand students' perspective on academics and clinical reasoning skills and future career implications, and their stress levels. To understand how teaching/academics can or has bettered/improved during such time. Study Design: An observational cross-sectional study design was chosen for the research. Methods: The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee. A validated semi-structured questionnaire was circulated through Google Forms to all 56 2nd-and 3rd-year students pursuing Master of OT in Maharashtra. The form consisted of 17 questions. Questions were based on how the pandemic affected their academics and the major academic and clinical concerns that the students faced during this period. Student's written and informed consent was attached to the online questionnaire. In addition to this, students were asked to respond to the Perceived Stress Scale to understand their stress levels. Results: The pandemic had an impact on clinical assignment in all 29 (100%) students. Not having enough opportunity to explore their clinical posting during the pandemic was experienced by all 29 (100%) students. The students found a gap in transforming theory into the clinical assignments. Having additional time for academics was stated by 14 (48.2%) students. Severe stress was perceived by 5 (17.2%) students and moderate stress was perceived by 24 (82.7%) students. Conclusion: The study concluded that all students had an effect on their clinical assignments, which may be due to reduced footfall of patients among the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. Students claimed to have additional time for academics due to reduced patient load.","PeriodicalId":75019,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of occupational therapy","volume":"9 1","pages":"14 - 18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75566069","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":"Does the informed consent document in allied health research follow the national guidelines? A retrospective analysis of proposals submitted to an institutional ethics committee of a tertiary care hospital","authors":"Shilpshree Palsule, J. Shetye, M. Lad","doi":"10.4103/ijoth.ijoth_28_21","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4103/ijoth.ijoth_28_21","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Informed consent process forms an essential component of the research process. It protects participants' autonomy to decide whether or not to participate in the research freely. It is expected that the informed consent document (ICD) should explain the nature and content of the research to a participant in simple terminology and in the language that the participant understands. The researcher's responsibility is to obtain informed consent from every participant before his/her participation in the research. Objectives: The objective is to evaluate whether the informed consent process documents of research studies submitted for initial review by allied health branches of a tertiary care hospital follow the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) guidelines and whether they relate to the protocol submitted for initial review. Study Design: This was a retrospective study. Methods: After institutional ethics committee (IEC) approval, all research studies submitted by allied health branches to the ethics committee of Seth GS Medical College and KEM Hospital, a tertiary care hospital in Mumbai, from November 1, 2018, to October 31, 2019, were reviewed. Thirty-five protocols were found to meet the inclusion criteria. The ICDs of these studies were evaluated for adherence to the ICMR 2017 guidelines. Ethics committee comments related to the ICDs were noted and analyzed. Results: 34 out of 35 research studies submitted had included all the ten mandatory points of the informed consent process, as per the Biomedical Health Research norms of the ICMR 2017. Seven protocols did not complete the review process and did not receive a letter of permission. IEC queries were mostly related to use of technical language, short forms of medical terms, improper mention of risks and discomforts, and sample size. Conclusion: This study concluded that the ICDs reviewed were complete in terms of sections recommended by the ICMR 2017 guidelines. However, there were certain lapses on the part of both the investigators and IEC, wherein the submitted ICDs did not convey the true nature of the study and the IEC did not correctly point out all these lapses at the time of the review.","PeriodicalId":75019,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of occupational therapy","volume":"116 1","pages":"19 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84071547","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}

Many nonlinguistic factors contribute to the expression of DSLD, one of them is motor proficiency. Some problems with motor proficiency were observed in children with DSLD when they were compared with typically developing children (TDC). Objective: The objective of the study was to assess the performance of DSLD children for motor proficiency using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency Second Edition (BOT-2) and compare it with TDC. Study Design: A comparative, noninterventional, cross-sectional study. Methods: The study included 30 children with DSLD and 30 TDC aged 4–7 years. The study protocol was approved by the Institute Ethical Committee (ECARP/2017/21). A written informed consent form was signed by parents. All composites of BOT-2 were administered on both groups (fine manual control, manual coordination, body coordination, strength and agility). Scores obtained were compared between two groups for total motor composite as well as each subtest. Results: There was a significant difference between the performance of DSLD children and TDC on all the four composites, namely Fine Manual Control, Manual Coordination, Body Coordination, and Strength and Agility of BOT-2. Total motor composite score of DSLD children was significantly different from the scores of TDC at P = 0.000. Conclusion: Motor proficiency is significantly affected in children with DSLD as compared to TDC.","PeriodicalId":75019,"journal":{"name":"The Indian journal of occupational therapy","volume":"19 1","pages":"10 - 13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90066016","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}
