Occupational therapists should use occupation-focused theories to improve client outcomes. This guide helps select, combine, and integrate these models with other frameworks for better practice.
Area of Science:
- Occupational therapy practice and theory integration.
Background:
- Healthcare increasingly values function, participation, and occupation.
- Occupational therapists recognize the benefit of occupation-focused models but underutilize them.
- Barriers include lack of understanding and limited application strategies.
Purpose of the Study:
- Compare occupation-focused models.
- Provide recommendations for selecting and combining models.
- Offer a systematic approach for integrating models with frames of reference for assessment and intervention.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of occupation-focused models.
- Development of practical recommendations.
- Outline of a systematic integration approach.
Main Results:
- Key occupation-focused models are compared.
- Strategies for model selection and combination are provided.
- A framework for integrating models with frames of reference is presented.
Conclusions:
- Utilizing occupation-focused models is crucial for best practice in occupational therapy.
- Clearer understanding and systematic integration strategies can enhance model application.
- This approach supports effective assessment and intervention for client benefit.
