 | 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 [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] @IHCPlymouth [REDACTED USER] 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 ? [REDACTED USER] is ready to go |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ That is dedication! #otalk https://t.co/peBtNwv12x |
| 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 |
| @OccScienceBae @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] 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 |
 | Hiral Khatri @DrHiralKhatri [REDACTED USER] 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 [REDACTED USER] 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 @sweet_hiral: [REDACTED USER] The term Participation for me is - getting involved with just everything but not above my availability, and… |
| @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 | |
| Hiral Khatri @DrHiralKhatri [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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. |
| 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @OccScienceBae: @OTalk_ Broadly, it’s the ability to access and engage in daily life activities of one’s choosing. However, what I have… |
| Hiral Khatri @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 |
| @OccScienceBae [REDACTED USER] @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 |
| Hiral Khatri @DrHiralKhatri [REDACTED USER] Yes. It is an important measure. As it shows signs of a person's choices, moods, tolerance levels and interests. #otalk |
| @OccScienceBae @BillWongOT How do you document it, Bill? #OTalk | |
| 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 |
| @OccScienceBae [REDACTED USER] If we’re truly practicing client-centered care, would patient’s determinants of participation not be captured? #OTalk | |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| 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 [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| @OccScienceBae [REDACTED USER] 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 | |
| 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 |
| 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 [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| 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 |
| @OccScienceBae [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] 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 @OccScienceBae: [REDACTED USER] [REDACTED USER] Theoretically, I’ve wondered the same. What are we (as a profession) adding when we sa… |
| 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 |
| @OccScienceBae [REDACTED USER] It comes up every year at the SSO-USA conference! #OTalk | |
| Susan Ritchie @SusanRitchie123 [REDACTED USER] 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 |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT [REDACTED USER] It will be a nursing home setting. #otalk |
| @OccScienceBae [REDACTED USER] 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 | |
| @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 |
| 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 |
| 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 [REDACTED USER] |
| 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 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Final thoughts? #otalk https://t.co/c4GZsW2hz3 |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks to [REDACTED USER] for tonight's #OTalk and to our fab community for an interesting and thought provoking discussion. |
| @LynneGoodacre Great to know that [REDACTED USER] and [REDACTED USER] will be leading #OTalk research in April based on #coproduction in research https://t.co/s6d8XryaLd |
