PEO Flashcards
why was the PEO model developed
response to a lack of OT literature describing the theoretical and clinical application of person, environment and occupation interaction
what are the 5 occupational therapy perspective on environment
- fitting patient into environment
- Interaction between living system and environment
- Describing various properties of environment and how it may provide optimal level of arousal
- ecological systems model to study relationship between organisms and their environment
- relationship between challenges of an activity and individual skills
list 2 ecological models
- PEO
2. Person Environment Occupational Performance Model (PEOP)
what are the three PEO components
- person
- environment
- occupation
what is the product of the three components
occupational performance
assumptions about PEO model
- person is dynamic and always developing and interacting with environment
- environment changes and so does human behaviour
- occupations are complex
- occupational performance changes over the lifespan
PEO - Person
what is it and what are the variables
- unique + holistic (mind, body, spirit)
- variables include: interests, values, skills, habits, roles, beliefs, abilities and life experiences
what do values and interests determine
determines what is important, meaningful, and enjoyable to the person
what do skills and abilities include
cognitive social emotional psychosocial sensorimotor
what can person refer to
individual, group, organisation or community
PEO - Environment
what is it
where occupational performance takes place and consists of physical, cultural, and social competence
what can environment include (8)
cultural social psychological organisational physical political economic institutional
physical environment
- tangible
- built and natural features
- terrain or buildings
cultural environment
- based on shared experiences
that determine values - ethnicity, religion, national identity
social environment
- several layers
- close interpersonal relationships
- social groups, work groups, large political groups
temporal environment
- time orientated factors associated with the person a and the task
institutional environment
- social institutions
- policies, decision making processes, accessibility and legal
PEO - Occupation
what is it
occupation exists when person and context factors come together to give meaning to tasks
- self directed meaningful tasks and activities that an individual engages in across the lifespan
- satisfies intrinsic needs
what are the 3 areas of occupations
- self care
- productivity
- leisure
activity
recognisable and observable behaviours
task
purposeful activities recognised by the task performer
occupation
self directed tasks that a person engages in over life course
Occupational Performance
the outcome that is associated with the interaction of the person, environment and occupation factors
PEO model continuum
throughout time PEO overlaps
PEO fit
when the person, environment and occupation fit together, occupational performance is optimised
PEO misfit
the person, environment and occupation do not fit together; major misalignment between the 3 components of OP
maximum fit
maximum OP
minimum fit
OP dysfunction
