No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In long-term care, staff provide help to residents with bathing, dressing, eating, walking, toileting, transferring, and moving in bed. Some residents can do more for themselves than others. This study will compare two groups of residents who require the same level of help from staff. Over eight weeks, one group will receive occupational therapy services provided by OT students and the other group will not. After the eight weeks, the level of help that each group of people requires will be looked at to see if there are any differences.

Occupational Therapy Services

Investigators will complete an initial assessment based on a thorough chart review and observation of the participants activities of daily living during week one. The resident will receive approximately 30 minutes a day of direct student OT service delivery. Additional intervention may be delivered through an indirect, collaborative, or consultative service delivery model. Students will use a workload measurement tool to track the amount of time and types of intervention provided to these residents. The intervention will be delivered by two pairs of OT students under the direction of a registered OT. Student OTs will have access to Point Click Care and will document daily and will be required to document indirect and non-direct time for each resident.
