NBCOT CH 3 - The OT process Flashcards
The basic request for OT services - varies among program types and practice areas
Referral
The acquisition of information to determine the need for an in-depth evaluation and to obtain a preliminary understanding of the individual’s needs, limitations, assets, and resources. It measures broad performance abilities such as chart review, observations, and brief interviews
Screen
The comprehensive process of obtaining and interpreting the data necessary to understanding the individual, system, or situation while also obtaining a history of the individual’s prior level of function
Evaluation
A psychometric property of assessments in which an evaluation is uniform and well-established with the same content, administration, and scoring
Standardization
A psychometric property of assessments that measures the assessment’s accuracy
Validity
A psychometric property of assessments that establishes how well the assessment instrument appears “on the face of it” to meet its stated purpose
Face Validity
A psychometric property of assessments that establishes that the content included in the evaluation is representative of the content that could be measured
Content Validity
A psychometric property of assessments that compares the assessment tool to another one with already established validity. It is reported as a correlation.
Criterion Validity
A psychometric property of assessments that compares the results of two instruments given at about the same time
Concurrent Validity
A psychometric property of assessments that compares the degree to which an instrument can predict performance on the future criterion
Predictive Validity
A psychometric property of assessments that establishes the consistency and stability of the evaluation
Reliability
A psychometric property of assessments that establishes that different raters using the same assessment tool will achieve the same results
Inter-rater reliability
A psychometric property of assessments that establishes that the same results will be obtained when the evaluation is administered twice by the same administrator
Test-retest reliability
An assessment tool that involves visual assessment of an individual, his/her behavior, and environmental contexts
Observation
An assessment tool which involves the therapist asking the individual specific questions
Interview
An assessment tool which requires the individual to disclose personal information in an organized manner (i.e. through a questionnaire)
Self-report
An assessment tool that requires the use of a predetermined listing of items against which a person’s performance is checked to determine the presence of these items
Check-list
An assessment tool that requires the individual or therapist to rate reactions, performance, or set criteria according to an established scale
Rating scale
An assessment tool that uses interviews and rating scales during initial sessions to facilitate clients’ participation in the goal-setting process by identifying intervention outcomes that are personally relevant to them; used during post-tx sessions to assess client progress toward desired goals
Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS)
An assessment tool that involves structured guidelines and/or standardized procedures for engaging the individual in performing an activity and for scoring this activity’s performance
Performance test
An assessment tool that produces scores that compare the individual’s performance to a set population’s performance
Norm-referenced assessment
An assessment tool that provides scores that compare the individual’s performance to a pre-established criterion
Criterion referenced assessment
A type of intervention designed to promote wellness, prevent disabilities and illness, and maintain health
Prevention
Prevention intervention that reduces the incidence or occurrence of a disease or disorder within a population that is currently well or considered to be potentially at risk
Primary prevention
A type of intervention in the OTPF that focuses on providing enrichment experiences to enhance a person’s occupational performance in their natural contexts
Create/Promote, and health promotion
Prevention intervention that involves the early detection of problems in a population at risk to reduce the duration of a dx and/or minimize its effects through
1. early detection/dx,
2. early appropriate referral
3. early/effective intervention
Secondary Prevention
A type of prevention intervention that involves the elimination or reduction of the impact of dysfunction on an individual
Tertiary Prevention
A type of intervention in the OTPF which designates interventions that address the needs of persons with or w/o disabilities who are considered at risk for problems with occupational performance. Interventions focus on preventing the occurrence or minimizing the effects of barriers to occupational performance.
Disability Prevention
A type of intervention designed to satisfy inherent, universal human needs. These needs are not automatically met and include psychosocial, temporal balance and regularity, safety, love and acceptance, group association, mastery, esteem, sexual, pleasure, and self-actualization
Meeting Health Needs
A type of intervention designed to achieve behavioral changes and functional outcomes. It is the most commonly used and reimbursed intervention in OT practice.
The change process
A type of intervention in the OTPF that focuses on establishing a skill or ability that a person had never developed and/or restoring a skill or ability that the person had lost due to impairment
Establish/restore/remediation/restoration
A type of intervention designed to reduce or minimize disruptive or undesirable behavior that interferes with therapeutic activities or procedures needed to change areas of dysfunction that are the main focus of intervention
Management
A type of intervention in the OTPF in which compensation and adaptation techniques are used to alter the context or demands of an activity to support the person’s ability to engage in areas of occupation.
Modify/compensation/adaptation
A type of intervention in the OTPF in which no improvement in function is planned but a decline in function is prevented
Maintain
The change in activity limitations and participation restrictions that will occur prior to the termination of intervention, in order to achieve the desired functional occupational performance outcome
Long term goals
The component subskills which are to be achieved over shorter time frames, leading to the attainment of the long term goal
Short term goals
