Review question/objectiveThe purpose of this proposed review is twofold: first, to understand the role of occupational therapy presented in the musicians’ health literature; and second, to explore the potential for this role.IntroductionThe intense movement, awkward postures, concentration and emotional communication required of musicians can place them at increased risk of music-related health conditions, such as musculoskeletal disorders and performance anxiety. The development of music-related health conditions can be emotionally and financially devastating. The role of occupational therapy in musicians’ health has been previously discussed; however, no rigorous reviews of the scholarly literature have been published. We will, therefore, undertake a scoping review with the following research questions: (1) what is known about the role of occupational therapy in instrumental musicians’ health? and (2) what is the potential role of occupational therapy in musicians’ health?Methods and analysisA preliminary search of Medline, CINAHL, SCOPUS and Web of Science was previously undertaken by the first author to determine the extent of the research on this topic and to confirm that no other reviews have been conducted or are in progress. Study selection and analysis will follow the Joanna Briggs Institute and the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for scoping reviews guidelines for conducting a scoping review.Ethics and disseminationFormal ethics approval is not required at our institution for a review of published literature. The results of this review will be shared through peer-reviewed publications, conference presentations and traditional and social media.

This study investigated the main effects of a subordinate’s (ratee) political skill dimensions (social astuteness, apparent sincerity, interpersonal influence, and networking ability) on supervisor (rater) performance rating and further analyzed the interactive effects of social similarity in the subordinate–supervisor dyad on the relationship between political skill dimension and performance rating. To test these relationships, hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used on a matched sample of 337 subordinate–supervisor dyads who worked in South Korea’s central government. Findings showed that subordinates with higher social astuteness, interpersonal influence, and networking abilities (but not apparent sincerity) will likely achieve more positive supervisor ratings. More importantly, the relationship between these political skill dimensions and performance ratings is stronger when there is greater social similarity between a subordinate (ratee) and his or her supervisor (rater). The findings’ practical and academic implications and future research directions are discussed.

Occupational therapy managers have to set objectives which correlate with those for the health and social services and work towards achieving them through the management of resources. Cooperation in the collection of data, to give an adequate overview of the needs of the service as well as the actual resources available, requires an understanding of formal information systems: Körner, performance indicators, resource management, clinical budgeting and performance reviews can be used to manage services more efficiently and realistically.

Occupational therapy is a branch of medicine which uses different methods to help physically and mentally ill people to develop, maintain, and recover skills needed to function in day to day life, as well as in workplace environments. Thus lives of millions of disabled all over the world are enhanced to a meaningful quality of life. Occupational therapists also focus much of their work on identifying and eliminating environmental barriers to independence and participation in daily activities. This is a client-centered practice that places emphasis on the progress towards the client’s goals. The interventions are made on adapting the environment, modifying the task, teaching the skill, and educating the client/family in order to increase participation in and performance of daily activities, particularly those that are meaningful to the client. They often find it challenging to implement client-centered and occupation-based assessment tools into practice. This part of rehabilitation medicine is neglected in our country. More work is needed to understand how best practices can be incorporated into a changing occupational therapy daily practice. The aim of this review article is to highlight the importance of occupational therapy and its application in improving the quality of life and quality adjusted life years in physically challenged persons.
