Occupational Therapy Practitioners

Occupational therapy practitioners have the opportunity to promote development for all children as new service delivery models are established for pediatric primary care. Three action steps are identified: (1) advocacy for legislation that requires developmental screenings and surveillance, (2) support of culturally responsive developmental monitoring, and (3) building evidence for occupational therapy in primary care settings. This article describes the role of occupational therapy practitioners on pediatric interprofessional teams in encouraging family capacity within the scope of health promotion and universal developmental monitoring.

Means Of Production

O estudo propõe um debate sobre o cuidado em saúde mental na atenção básica, partindo do entendimento de que a produção do cuidado se dá em redes, não apenas institucionais, mas redes vivas e de potência criativa. O percurso metodológico se deu por meio da cartografia, de modo que foi possível rastrear o território para além dos serviços de saúde. Como meio de produção de dados utilizaram-se os diários de campo produzidos na vigência de doze meses do projeto de extensão: Saúde Mental na atenção básica- desafio e necessidade, desenvolvido em uma unidade integrada de saúde da família de um município do estado da Paraíba. A vivência e atuação no território se deram inicialmente pelo mapeamento das redes de cuidado territoriais, como também a problematização das ações de cuidado na atenção básica, com o intuito de ampliar o debate sobre o papel das redes vivas no cuidado em saúde. Tal discussão possibilitou o desenvolvimento de ações em saúde pautadas na integralidade do cuidado, coesão social, produção de vida. Estes resultados apontam para a necessidade em se pensar ações compartilhadas e inseridas no território, tendo em vista que a saúde envolve também os territórios existenciais pelos quais os sujeitos circulam e produzem relações. A terapia ocupacional tem contribuído significativamente na consolidação deste cuidado. The study proposes a debate on mental health care in primary care, based on the understanding that the production of care takes place in networks, not only institutional, but also living networks and creative power. The methodological approach was through the mapping, so it was possible to trace the territory beyond the health services. As a means of production, data field diaries were  produced in the presence of twelve months of the extension project: Mental Health in the primary care - challenge and need, developed in an integrated health unit family in a municipality of state of Paraíba. The experience and operation in the territory was given initially by mapping of care networks available in the territory, as well as the questioning of care actions in primary care, in order to broaden the debate on the role of living networks in health care. This discussion enabled the development of health actions based on integrality of care, social cohesion, production of life in primary care. These results point to the need to think about shared and embedded actions in the territory, with a view that health also involves the existential territories for which individuals circulate and produce relations. Occupational therapy has significantly contributed to the consolidation of territorial care.Keywords: Comprehensive health care; Primary health care; Social network; Mental health, Occupational therapy. El estudio propone un debate sobre el cuidado en salud mental en la atención básica, basado en el entendimiento de que la producción de la atención se lleva a cabo en las redes, no sólo institucional, sino redes vivas y con poder creativo.

BackgroundGPs in the UK are under significant pressure in delivering primary care and this has highlighted the need for workforce development. Occupational therapists (OTs) are highly skilled practitioners working across health and social care sectors. Educated at pre-registration level to work with physical and mental health issues, OTs can potentially provide valuable support to GPs. To date OTs are not routinely utilised within primary care. For over 10 years the University of Southampton OT Department has developed placements in a range of settings for students, but never previously in primary care.AimThe focus of this study was to determine whether role emerging placements in primary care enhanced the learning of OT students and to consider what can be learned about the role of occupational therapy in primary care.MethodA case study approach was used to evaluate the project. Methods of data collection for this study included: observation of small group teaching sessions and end of placement interviews with students, educators, and members of the primary care teams involved in the placements.ResultsAnalysis of the data indicates OT skills can be utilised in general practice in a number of ways, in certain areas, potentially saving face-to-face consultations with GPs.ConclusionOTs are an underutilised profession in frontline primary care. The role of OT has not been well researched as a ‘first point of contact’ healthcare professional in primary care. OTs’ broad training in mental health, physical frailty, and learning disabilities are potentially valuable to service delivery in general practice.
