week 5 Flashcards
How are occupations related to roles?
Occupations are the specific activities or tasks individuals perform within the context of their roles (e.g., a mother may cook dinner as part of her role as a caregiver).
How can occupations be classified?
Occupations can be classified into various categories like self-care, productivity (work/school), and leisure, and can be broken down into tasks and actions.
Why do we care about occupations?
Occupations are central to a person’s identity and well-being. They influence health and quality of life and are essential for survival and social participation.
How do we as OTs use occupations?
Occupational therapists use occupations to understand and address a client’s functional challenges, developing interventions that promote engagement and participation in meaningful activities
Why are occupations the core component of the PEOP model?
In the PEOP model (Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance), occupations are key because they reflect how an individual interacts with their environment and impacts their performance and participation in life.
What are roles in occupational therapy?
Roles are the expected behaviors and responsibilities associated with specific social positions (e.g., mother, worker, friend). People have multiple roles, each containing various occupations.
What is occupational orchestration?
Occupational orchestration refers to the planning and organizing of various roles and occupations to meet personal and social expectations, ensuring a balanced and functional life.
What is the difference between occupational analysis and activity analysis?
Occupational analysis focuses on how a person or group performs an occupation, considering personal and contextual factors. Activity analysis looks at the general demands of an activity, without focusing on individual performance.
How do you conduct an occupational analysis?
Steps include selecting the occupation, gathering data (through interviews or observation), focusing on the person’s abilities and limitations, and consulting with others, such as family or professionals.
What are the physical, cognitive, and environmental demands of an activity?
Physical demands refer to the body’s movement and strength required. Cognitive demands involve the thinking and decision-making needed. Environmental demands include factors like culture, social support, physical surroundings, and accessibility.
Why is a holistic profile important in occupational therapy?
A holistic profile helps occupational therapists assess the client’s strengths, limitations, and needs from multiple perspectives, facilitating tailored interventions to improve occupational performance and well-being.
What is the PEOP model?
The PEOP model (Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance) is a framework used by occupational therapists to understand and assess how an individual interacts with their environment, occupation, and performance capabilities.
How do environmental factors influence occupational performance?
Environmental factors, such as culture, social support, physical space, and access to resources, can either support or limit an individual’s ability to perform meaningful occupations.
What is occupational science?
Occupational science is the study of human occupations—what people do, why they do it, and how it affects their health, well-being, and life satisfaction.
How does the PEOP model guide occupational therapy practice?
The PEOP model helps OTs understand how a client’s person, environment, and occupations interact, allowing therapists to create more individualized, client-centered interventions.
What does activity analysis involve?
Activity analysis involves examining an activity’s demands from a general perspective, considering physical, cognitive, and environmental aspects, to determine what is required for successful completion.
What is the importance of roles in occupational therapy?
Roles are crucial because they help define a person’s identity and influence their daily occupations. Understanding a client’s roles helps OTs design interventions that align with personal values and expectations.
