Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to obtain an understanding of older adults' perceptions of independence and the factors that allow them to remain living independently in the community. A questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of 500 community-based older adults. One hundred seventy eight questionnaires were returned (36%). Respondents were asked questions related to independence, self-health rating, functional difficulties, and social supports. Most respondents indicated Mental Health (97%), Physical Health (97%), Control of choices (97%), and Social Support Systems (93%) contributed to mai

South Africa is one of the most violent nations in the world and has an extremely high incidence of road accidents and work place injuries. The precise effect of this on upper limb injury statistics is not known as the incidence and prevalence of these conditions has yet to be determined. Hand injuries are, however, common worldwide and, in South Africa, may be complex in nature. This places a demand on occupational therapy services to provide comprehensive upper limb rehabilitation, a responsibility that inevitably falls on novice occupational therapists at some point.

Background Occupation-focused and occupation-based interventions can potentially promote occupational engagement among community-dwelling older people, but there is limited evidence to identify the most effective and cost-effective interventions. For independent-living older people, there is a lack of evidence to determine if occupation-focused and occupation-based interventions have an effect on their occupational engagement. For older people who need assistance because of bathing disabilities, there is limited evidence of the effects of occupation-focused and occupation-based interventions

Abstract:

Assistive technology (AT) is defined as “any item, piece of equipment or product system whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized that is used to increase, maintain, or improve functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities” (Assistive Technology Act amendments, 2004). The field of AT and AT services is dynamic and supported by multiple professions, and may be delivered in a variety of settings and contexts (Cook & Polgar, 2015). While this shared stake in the field of AT provides a variety of unique perspectives, it creates a challenge for uniformity when

Abstract:

There are limited occupational therapy (OT) services available to community dwelling adults with chronic health conditions and disabilities. Inconsistency in services across the continuum provokes discontinuity in care, lack of community resources and supports, and patient noncompliance. Lack of adequate services often results in poor health management, rehospitalizations, falls, learned helplessness, and lack of purpose and identity. Long-term health outcomes and participation of individuals with chronic health conditions are dependent on a model that addresses these factors and creates a sta

Abstract:

Community Engagement (CE) has been incorporated into tertiary education with growing emphasis. Service learning as one aspect of CE has been included in various departments at the University of Pretoria (UP) since 2005. The Department of Occupational Therapy at UP therefore also found it appropriate to adapt the CE curriculum to incorporate service-learning principles. One outcome of Service Learning in the Department of Occupational Therapy was the planning, implementation and evaluation of final-year student community projects. Unfortunately many of these projects have been unsustained and

Abstract:

A major challenge in today’s current healthcare system is the risk of readmissions by older adults recently discharged from an acute care facility. Current evidence-based literature does not have a single contributor for the reason for the readmission following discharge, but evidence does suggest some strong indicators for risk for readmission back into hospital. The risk for readmission into the hospital following a discharge from acute care increases due to older age, multiple diseases, co-morbidities, and functional limitations (Tinetti et al., 2012; Garcia-Perez et al., 2011).

Abstract:

Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>The purpose of this qualitative study was to identify ways in which the University of the Western Cape (UWC) occupational therapy (OT) curriculum could be developed to prepare its graduates to advance occupational justice in community service practice. The background to the study is the development of occupational therapy practice and education within a policy context of health reform that gave momentum to the shift in emphasis from a bio-medical to a more socio-political approach to health in South Africa. Underpinning this study was the assumption that OT educati

Abstract:

Recreation is one of the most significant childhood occupations and participation in meaningful inclusive recreational activities is the right of all children. However, children with disabilities report not participating in their preferred activities, such as team sports, individual physical activities, and athletics (Shields & Synnot, 2016). This limitation is further complicated by caregivers, most often parents, not having the time and resources to support their child’s meaningful participation in community-based inclusive programs and address the environmental and social barriers they enco

Abstract:

The older adult population is growing. Many seniors will need more care in order to stay at home, and some will find it necessary to move into an institutional setting (National Institute on Aging, 2017). However, there is a growing trend for senior adults to want to remain at home and age in place. Occupational therapy practitioners whose work takes place in home settings have the opportunity to enable these individuals to preserve their independence. Recent advancements in smart home technology provide applications for this form of assistive technology in situations where an older person wi

Abstract:

Although there are thousands of new spinal cord injury cases each year, length of stay in rehabilitation has significantly decreased, leaving individuals with SCI returning to the community unprepared. Empower SCI is a non-profit organization that aims to fix this gap by providing rehabilitation services to community-dwelling adolescents and adults with SCI. The outcome measures currently used at Empower SCI were assessed to determine if they were a good fit for the program based on their items, scoring system, psychometric properties, and effectiveness at capturing change.
