Test 1 Flashcards
What are the 6 characteristics of a Model according to Mosey?
- Description of professions philosophical assumptions 2. Ethical Code 3. Body of Knowledge/ Theoretical Foundations 4. Domain of Concern 5. Aspects of Practice 6. Professions Legitimate Tools
Mosey’s Tools of the Trade in OT
- Non-Human Environment 2. Conscious Use of Self 3. Teaching and Learning Process 4. Use of Purposeful Activities 5. Activity Groups 6. Activity Analysis and Synthesis
What is the model?
Almost universally accepted by the practice. It is the overarching ideas that OT’s have on themselves and what they do.
What is the theory?
Predicts relationships. Cannot be used directly in practice.
What are the 3 Parts of Theory?
Concepts Definitions Postulates
What are the Concepts of a Theory?
Category of event/phenomenon that have common characteristics. A concept is a general notion.
What are the Definitions of a Theory?
Defining the characteristics of a concept. Describing the concept.
What are the Postulates of a Theory?
If/Then statement. A statement that shows the relationship between two or more concepts.
What is a frame of reference?
The link between theory and practice Very specific to a topic, illness, condition, etc.
What are the five parts of a FOR?
Theoretical Base Function-Dysfunction Continuum Indicators of Function-Dysfunction Continuum Postulates Regarding Change Application to Practice
What are the five parts of the theoretical base in a FOR?
Assumptions Concepts Definitions Postulates Hypothesis
Describe the function-dysfunction continuum?
Can determine where a client is in the continuum based on details in the FOM. States explicitly what is “functional” and “dysfunctional”

Describe the indicators of function-dysfunction
Describes specifically how you can tell if a person is functional, dysfunctional or where they would lie on the spectrum by giving examples of the outliers.
Describe Postulates Regarding change
Really moving to practice in this stage.
What you should be doing to have the client move toward change.
Guideline for problem mediation.
What does Gary Keilhofner believe make up the profession of OT?
Paradigms and Conceptual Models of Practice
What are paradigms?
Our unique prospective of the field. How we share our vision.
What are the 3 parts of a paradigm?
Core Constructs: Area of expertise = similar to domain of concern. =Practice Framework
Focal Viewpoints: We all have a viewpoint that we all agree with. A commonly shared viewpoint in the field.
Integrating Values: We hold values to our profession. Similar to Mosey’s Ethical Code!!
What is a basic scientific theory and when is it used?
Basic Scientific Inquiry: ——> People Developing Theories
For the people that are developing theories.
What is Applied Scientific Theory
Applied Scientific Inquiry —–> People Developing Frames of Reference
Develop frames of reference.
What is the Top-Bottom Approach?
Find out who they are and what they like to do. THEN find out what is keeping them from doing it.
What is the Bottom-Up Approach?
Find out what is the problem. (Ex: the person has a missing appendage) they can’t use their arm. THEN find out why they want to use their arm!
Explain the difference between purposeful activity and occupation
“Purposeful activity refers to goal-direered behaviors or tasks … that the individual considers meaningful” Purposeful activities have personal meaning combined with a goal-directed quality and are encompassed within occupations but may not be based on occupation.
An occupation is the daily life activities in which people engage.
Florence Clark says….
We are a discipline because we develop our own theories. We are a discipline because we are our own science. The science of occupation. We need to do more of our own research.
What are the 4 levels of activity in Occupation Based Intervention?
- Adjunctive: ex: passive ROM, heat pack,
- Enabling: Preparatory Activities
- Not occupation based or purposeful but gets them ready to participate in activity.
- Simulated activities. (peg-boards, theraputty)
- Prepares them to do purposeful and then occupation.
- Purposeful: Have a purpose but may not be based in an occupation that is meaningful.
- Occupational: Actually participating in the occupation.
What three variables according to PEO Model make up Occupational Performance?
Occupation
Person
Environment
What are the advantages to the PEO model?
- Simple and easy to understand
- Promoting our field and expertise in the community
- Applies to many individuals, groups and populations.
What are the disadvantages of the PEO Model?
- Doesn’t give guideline for practice
- Limited research
What was the PEO model evolved into by Christiansen and Baum?
PEOP
What does the PEOP model focus on?
- Highlights the complexity of person-occupation-environment relationships and it defines Occupational Performance as the outcome of this three tier transaction.
Person, Environment, Occupation, Performance
What are assumptions made by the PEOP model?
- People are motivated to explore their world and master it.
- Success helps people to feel good. This motivates them to face new challenges with greater confidence.
What are the 4 constructs of the PEOP model?
Person
Environment
Occupation
Performance
What makes up the person according to the PEOP model?
Made up of a series of intrinsic factors that compose one’s set of skills.
- Spiritual,
- Neurobehavioral
- Psychological
- Physiological
- Cognitive
What makes up the environment construct in the PEOP model?
Always impacted by the extrinsic characteristics of the environment in which it occurs.
- Built
- Natural
- Cultural
- Societal
- Social interaction
- Economic
What makes up the occupation construct in the PEOP model? (Heirarchy of Occupation)
- Roles
- Occupation
- Tasks
- Actions
- Abilities
How does the MOP define the Person, 4 things that make up the person?
Affective
Cognitive
Physical
Spiritual
What 5 things that makes up the environment according to the MOP?
Cultural
Social
Institutional
Physical
Socioeconomic
What 3 things make up the Occupation according to the MOP?
Self-Care
Productivity
Leisure
What is the nuclear problem according to the MOP?
Threatens something the client considers essential for a meaningful life.
What is the COPM?
It’s a client-centered assessment in the MOP. Assesses Productivity, Self-Care, and Leisure.
What does Ann Mosey say?
We are a profession because we pull from theories in other areas.
OT is an Art and Science
Why do we use FOM in OT?
It narrows the scope of treatment.
It is a link betwen practice and theory.
