Strengths-Based Interventions To Support Positive Role Identity In Home Health Practice, Sarah Kiefer
Strengths-Based Interventions To Support Positive Role Identity In Home Health Practice, Sarah Kiefer
School of Occupational Therapy Master's Capstone Projects (2016-2021)
The author collaborated with a home health occupational therapist in Western Washington. The therapist’s research question was, “What evidence is there to support strengths-based therapy interventions effective in supporting positive role identity in adults with physical disabilities who are receiving home health or outpatient rehabilitation services?” Home health practitioners may not account for a client’s mental health challenges that impact role identity. A client’s sense of role identity can influence re-engagement in meaningful activities that support quality of life. The evidence review found that role identity concepts, like autonomy, are considered to be important, but often measured as secondary outcomes. …
Evidence Supporting The Effectiveness Of Standardized Assessments At Predicting Safe Performance Of Activities Of Daily Living For Patients In Skilled Nursing Facilities, Jenna Mangiagli, Bridget Manion, Mckenzie Roque, Olivia Wasilenski
Evidence Supporting The Effectiveness Of Standardized Assessments At Predicting Safe Performance Of Activities Of Daily Living For Patients In Skilled Nursing Facilities, Jenna Mangiagli, Bridget Manion, Mckenzie Roque, Olivia Wasilenski

The research question was “What is the evidence to support the effectiveness of standardized assessments at predicting safe performance of ADLs for patients in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs)?” The literature review results indicate that there is strong evidence to support the effectiveness of the Barthel Index (BI), Modified Barthel Index (MBI), and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) at predicting safe performance of ADLs for patients in SNFs. It is recommended that practitioners use the MBI to predict safe performance of ADLs for patients at intake and discharge from SNFs. To support implementation of the research findings, a fact sheet and pre-recorded …

Improving Recidivism And Outcomes Within Inpatient Psychiatric Hospitals, Brooke Harrison, Madison Mainard, Marissa Mclellan, Kate Ricke
School of Occupational Therapy Master's Capstone Projects (2016-2021)
In collaboration with a local occupational therapist in the adult inpatient acute mental health unit at a small urban hospital in Western Washington, we conducted a systematic literature review to determine which strategies are most effective in reducing readmission to inpatient adult psychiatric facilities for individuals experiencing homelessness and/or substance abuse. Overall results found housing assistance, 24/7 resource access, interdisciplinary teams, and holistic individualized care to be effective in the reduction of recidivism for individuals experiencing homelessness and/or substance abuse. Interventions focused on money management, diagnosis education, and community reintegration were also supported. Evidence indicated systemic social and legislative reform, …

Sensory-based interventions are commonly used in occupational therapy practice to support children and youth with disabilities that may impact occupational performance. Auditory interventions are a specific sensory intervention centered around the use of sounds thought to create neural changes in the brain resulting in improved functional performance (Wink, McKeown, & Casey, 2017). Four occupational therapy research students collaborated with a local pediatric occupational therapist who was interested in obtaining updated evidence on auditory interventions with children. Researchers screened and systematically reviewed the literature to address the question, "Do auditory interventions improve self-regulation, engagement, auditory discrimination, and/or attention for children?" Upon …

Tomi Johnson, OTR/L, the primary collaborator for this project, is an occupational therapist with the Kent School District (KSD) working with children in grades K-6. She worked with occupational therapy (OT) students to answer the question: Which school-based related service interventions are effective in improving school performance in children with attention challenges. The results of this systematic review identified six intervention modalities that can be implemented by occupational therapists to address attention challenges in school-aged children including: (1) self-monitoring, (2) school-to-home daily report cards, (3) physical activity, (4) sensory supports, (5) high tech, and (6) metacognitive and behavioral training. Based …

Nonpharmacological Pain Management Strategies For Infants In The Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, Kasen Boie, Kylie Farrenkopf, Hannah Henrikson, Lauren Kikumoto

Developmentally appropriate care is a central feature of rehabilitation in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), but the hospital environment often fails to meet the specific needs of infants, impacting the quality of care that they receive. The infant rehabilitation team at Oregon Health and Science University Doembecher Children’s Hospital collaborated with student researchers to identify the most effective nonpharmacological pain strategies in order to communicate these strategies to other allied health professionals. The final practice question was “What are the most effective nonpharmacological pain management practices for optimal developmental outcomes for infants 12 months old and younger in the …
