 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hello everyone! Today I am going to be pre-tweeting for #otalk due to daylight savings. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research @OTPlymouthUni @IHCPlymouth @PlymUniResearch That means I schedule tweets in advance and have them appear live in real time. So you can tell that my tweets might be out of sync relatively speaking in relation to the discussions. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And the dimension I come from- I work with a good bit of patients with psych diagnosis; and some of the nursing homes I work at have almost all psych patients. #Otalk |
 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Who's on for tonight's #otalk ? @Tori_Doll_ is ready to go |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That is dedication! #otalk https://t.co/peBtNwv12x |
 | Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken Hello everyone I'm here and looking forward to #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ And I already scheduled my tweets... since I am working now! #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ #Otalk on the go! https://t.co/o7XWQjUSzf |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT In my setting, I think I see a good bit of psych patients are the most motivated when time is getting close to smoke break time. #otalk |
 | Susan Ritchie @SusanRitchie123 Joining #otalk tonight |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Tori_Doll_: |
 | Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ @Tori_Doll_ Checking in from Richmond, Virginia #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Q1 #OTalk https://t.co/s3yZASKg6p |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Participation is meaningful in my setting (through my example) can be something like a meaningful time to socialize and build friendships with fellow patients. #otalk |
 | Kate Sharp @OT_Sharp I’m here...at the gym but aiming for Occupational balance! #otalk https://t.co/cOhIZcTa8k |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And of course... occasionally we also do community training. That is also meaningful because it can be motivation for them to get discharged to lower level of care. (Though that might not happen at some nursing homes I work at because patient might also be flight risk). #otalk |
 | Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @Tori_Doll_ @Tori_Doll_ #OTalk Engaging patients in what is meaningful to them whilst presenting a stimulating just-right challenge using #VdTMoCA to aid skill development and improvement in self-esteem/self-worth |
 | Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri @margaretOT360 The term Participation for me is - getting involved with just everything but not above my availability, and my skills. Following passion and working for what I like makes me more of a good participant rather than just being a passive-employee. #OTALK |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT In terms of meaning to me, that means feeling I belong actively in an environment through participation. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Great examples Sue. #otalk https://t.co/dBWVWpuG4X |
| Susan Ritchie @SusanRitchie123 @Tori_Doll_ It means doing or being part of something that is valuing to the person that they want to do #OTalk To me it is finding that something and providing the means for them to do it |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @margaretOT360: |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ Broadly, it’s the ability to access and engage in daily life activities of one’s choosing. However, what I have learned working with adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, is that participation can look different. We should think beyond the conventional. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @KatrinaBannigan: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @JessikaLack_OT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research certainly. #otalk and performance is better if you start practicing participation. Its hard to comment sitting on the other side and actually participating and experiencing that task. |
 | Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @MOHOspark: |
| Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @Tori_Doll_ Absolutely!! Especially how #VdTMoCA helps us to gain the smallest amount of participation from even the least well individuals - a strength lacking by most other models #OTalk |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ Participation can look different, I agree- have you got examples of these differences? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT In my setting, I will say we don’t have a direct measure for participation. However, it will show in some way in patients’ functioning levels... as the hard work they put in usually will result in improvements in some way. #otalk |

| Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri @robbrooks_uk Good question. #otalk I believe, there are no specific types though we can differentiate as per our own norms may be?? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT In my setting, participation makes a positive difference in prognosis in patient’s maximum functional potential. #otalk |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @MaryBirken @OTalk_ Using emblematic gestures (i.e. eye gazes and vocalizations) rather than physical touch to engage in activity. For example using eye gaze to choose pieces in a game of dominos when verbal language and upper extremity movement is impaired. #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Interesting point. How is it being measured? #otalk https://t.co/LjdB4VO7Sg |
| Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @Tori_Doll_ As a high secure service, It is in terms of the standard of offering a min of 25hrs of activity to each patient per week but the quality of this participation is often not considered - us OTs definitely feel this is more important! Quality over quantity every time!! #OTalk |
| Hiral Khatri, OTD, OTR/L @DrHiralKhatri @Tori_Doll_ Yes. It is an important measure. As it shows signs of a person's choices, moods, tolerance levels and interests. #otalk |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @BillWongOT How do you document it, Bill? #OTalk |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @MOHOspark: |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken I think participation is the most important outcome to measure result of occupational therapy in mental health. Occupational performance can be seen as proximal outcome that contributes to participation #otalk |
| Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @KatrinaBannigan @VdTMoCAFUK @MOT1ON_Research No but the strategies it gives us in high security on ICU, HDU & Admissions are incredibly beneficial when working with extremely unwell individuals who would often be assumed as too unwell for OT. As a service, we have more confidence in ourselves, our role and direction #OTalk |
 | Matthew Molineux @mmolineux Daniel Sutton at https://t.co/1hMFJiULCI has a paper that includes that issue #OTalk https://t.co/uKfYtssksB |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT and in my setting, community integration has meaning from occupational participation standpoint. For some patients, this might mean a crucial step before being discharged to home or lower level of care. #otalk |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @VikkiBarryOT If we’re truly practicing client-centered care, would patient’s determinants of participation not be captured? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @Tori_Doll_ Certainly for my client group I would need to monitor participation, review how it’s going, change if needed. Sometimes we pause things because it not the right time to participate and then revisit how we reboot things. #otalk |
| Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @JessikaLack_OT @Tori_Doll_ Yes but I’m not always sure it does when NHS targets are set unfortunately! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And for those who are long term residents at my setting, it can mean a reward for good behavior and a much needed change from being at the facility all day. #otalk |
 | Alondra Ammon @AlondraLaOT @Tori_Doll_ I would say for sure! In my opinion, as OT's our purpose as a whole is to help our clients participate in meaningful occupations. The only thing that changes in regards to the type of participation they engage in is the setting, but our focus remains the same. #OTalk |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken @KatrinaBannigan @joanne_inman @MOT1ON_Research I agree that its an asset to Occupational therapy to have WHO recognise participation as a component of health. In mental health the concept hasn't been recognised as much as other areas of OT. But overlapping terms are used- eg social functioning. #otalk |
 | Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 RT @MOHOspark: |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @VikkiBarryOT I think drawing on evidence from the literature and being intentional in how we document participation and patient’s progress is what will make a difference. #OTalk |
| Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @mirnoonanOT @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research Great point!! We’re doing a service evaluation to compare numbers of sessions patients have attended vs their outcomes in occupational domains. A big question out of this is, what was the quality of their engagement in each session plus the quality of session delivery! #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT I think where I live in LA is a huge factor with culture. After all, Los Angeles is like a melting pot. #otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Tori_Doll_ Q2 - I am unsure if #participation should be a measure. A little participation in a meaningful occupation might be the perfect balance for one individual and not enough to another #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @CharCarpenter: @mirnoonanOT @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research Great point!!

| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research It is currently difficult to measure as not clearly defined as a concept, particularly in MH but we can attempt to measure "involvement in a life situation" in the meantime? #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @KatrinaBannigan: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And culture also play a role in setup in the environments I work in. Some holidays were better celebrated than others. So does activities the residents would do at these places on an everyday basis. #otalk |
| Alondra Ammon @AlondraLaOT @Tori_Doll_ I would say that subconsciously I do. If a client seems disengaged from the occupation or activity at hand, then it's something I feel most would recognize and question/probe and begin to think more critically about the approach or client preference. #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Tori_Doll_ When assessing interventions it may be important to look at participation - what is holding people back? Is the intervention useful or does it need changing/reassessing? Is the individual doing too much and not having any balance? #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @JessikaLack_OT: |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken @KatrinaBannigan @joanne_inman @MOT1ON_Research I agree that more psychometric testing of existing measures claiming to measure participation is needed #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @robbrooks_uk: |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken RT @christiephysio: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Social wise, I think it will really depend on the mix of patients. It is almost like how a group of special needs kids blend in with one another in such classrooms. #otalk |
| Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @JessikaLack_OT @Tori_Doll_ Too true!! Shows how we need to promote the impact of our work whilst meeting standards but educate our senior management teams along the way to help inform commissioners of such issues. #OTalk |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research Theoretically, I’ve wondered the same. What are we (as a profession) adding when we say “occupational” participation? #OTalk Maybe I’m being too deep about this?!? |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @MOHOspark: |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken @thebakerstron @Tori_Doll_ @OTalk_ I agree it is key that Occupational therapists use the term participation within MDT, to demonstrate our unique contribution. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Although I can’t say it is completely true... but i can imagine patients will feel like they are in jail if they are placed in locked units... even if it is a measure to protect them for themselves and/or the community. #otalk |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @VikkiBarryOT It comes up every year at the SSO-USA conference! #OTalk |
 | Lee Ann Hoffman @LeeAnnHoffman2 RT @MOHOspark: |
| Charlotte Carpenter 💙 @CharCarpenter @mrkwhtmnOT @mirnoonanOT @JessikaLack_OT @Tori_Doll_ If we want to show our impact we need to show what patients are participating in (we have specific treatment based sessions) and change in occupational performance in each domain being treated at CPA intervals. This is vital to aiding others’ understanding of our work #Otalk |
| Susan Ritchie @SusanRitchie123 @SPOTeurope Not a standardises measure but in my long stay MH ward I evidence increased participation by applying a graded approach and each week the person has a bigger part of the activity to do #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT I will respond to any tweets responded to me at a later time. But now I will add my final thoughts. #otalk |

| Susan Ritchie @SusanRitchie123 For many with MI the social part is so hard joining groups is not for everyone #otalk it is about them having the skill to get their need me,t can the get on a quiet bus to go to the shop this for many is as much participation as they want |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @MOHOspark: |
 | #HelloMyNameIs Laura @laurareidOT RT @MaryBirken: @thebakerstron @Tori_Doll_ @OTalk_ I agree it is key that Occupational therapists use the term participation within MDT, to demonstrate our unique contribution. #otalk |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research Yes I think we should talk about participation- the occupational element is implicit, and we are in danger of talking to ourselves by using different phrase than wider mdt use #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @SarahSharland19 It will be a nursing home setting. #otalk |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae @Tori_Doll_ This is a big question, especially when you consider the culture and histories our clients bring to therapy and how they transact through the culture of healthcare. #OTalk |
| Susan Ritchie @SusanRitchie123 RT @DebbiiHarrison: |
| Khalilah R. Johnson, PhD, OTR/L @OccScienceBae This is an important question to ponder, especially when you consider the culture and histories our clients bring to therapy and how they transact through the culture of healthcare. #OTalk #AOTA #OccupationalTherapy #OccupationalScience https://t.co/qxKIGeqTLC |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Just like with special needs kids, I feel service users in this population should be placed in least restrictive environments. #otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research I feel like the “occupation” but refers more to whether it is meaningful to the person. I might seem to participate in something but not find any value positive or negative #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT With the mental health population, safety is an ultra important component to consider while thinking of meaningful occupations for patients to engage. #otalk |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @KatrinaBannigan: |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @SophieMaynard8: @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research I feel like the “occupation” but refers more to whether it is meaningful to the person. I might seem to participate in something but not find any value positive or negative #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT And within mental health settings, I feel participation in meaningful occupations has a direct correlation with maximum functional potential for the patients. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Final 7 minutes of an interesting #otalk tonight. Certainly giving me lots to think about @Tori_Doll_ |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken Very good point MDT contributes to changing participation #otalk https://t.co/SVpMrfYh1g |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @sleepOTsophie: |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT So as occupational therapy practitioners, I feel it is important all of us to promote the importance of participation in meaningful occupations... even if they say no again and again. Who knows if they will say yes one of these times. #otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Tori_Doll_ #OTalk secure environments can be restrictive of participation, both physically and socially. It’s important not to force participation on patients and cause occupational alienation |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @SophieMaynard8: @Tori_Doll_ #OTalk secure environments can be restrictive of participation, both physically and socially. It’s important not to force participation on patients and cause occupational alienation |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @VikkiBarryOT: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Final thoughts? #otalk https://t.co/c4GZsW2hz3 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @MOHOspark: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Tori_Doll_ Unfortunately participation can be seen as a tick box for people getting better, but again, we need to make sure that the participation is suitable and meaningful to that individual, only then we will see positive effects on health and well-being #OTalk |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @KatrinaBannigan: |
 | sarah thompson @sarahth50274266 RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken The ICF defines participation as "involvement in a life situation". Not all life situations involve other people. #otalk https://t.co/2x3rPmfvnL |
| Vikki Smith @vikkijaynedale RT @sleepOTsophie: |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks to @Tori_Doll_ for tonight's #OTalk and to our fab community for an interesting and thought provoking discussion. |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @Tori_Doll_ Often this is what makes occupational therapy unique, meaningful participation needs to be advocated for by the OT to the MDT #OTalk |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken RT @Tori_Doll_: |
 | Dr Lynne Goodacre 💙 @LynneGoodacre Great to know that @TinaColdham and @ClaireBallinge1 will be leading #OTalk research in April based on #coproduction in research https://t.co/s6d8XryaLd |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Dr Mary Birken @MaryBirken @sue_mesa @MOHOspark There have been some papers published exploring this and what it means but the term participation does need further defining conceptually. Some of the papers are on @MOT1ON_Research website. #otalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @KatrinaBannigan @MOT1ON_Research I guess arguably if they have been coerced to participate, then they may not feel they are actively participating. Unfortunately in secure environments, it can sometimes lead towards a reward system... eg good to see you doing xyz, we will increase your leave now #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 RT @Tori_Doll_: |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 @colourful_ot @Tori_Doll_ @RespectConnectd Thanks for the link. Will be an interesting read for my current essay! #OTalk |
| Sophie Maynard @SophieMaynard8 I was a bit late, but really enjoying #OTalk this evening |
