 | Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT Hey peeps! #otalk |
 | #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome to August's #OTalk Research. Tonight our host is @chloe_kitto Motivated to ensure her research keeps an occupation focus, @chloe_kitto will be asking us to discuss our thoughts and opinions on this important topic |

 | Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto RT @OTalk_: Welcome to August's #OTalk Research. Tonight our host is @chloe_kitto Motivated to ensure her research keeps an occupation focu… |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Welcome to everyone who is able to join us this evening. Say hello and let us know where you are tweeting from this evening #Otalk https://t.co/thDgEvNp8T |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @OTalk_ Good evening #OTalk community! I'm pumped to hear from you tonight, and so encouraged by the amount of interest I've seen leading up to this discussion tonight. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thanks @chloe_kitto for suggesting this great topic and hosting #Otalk tonight. Looking forward to your first question |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto Okay #OTalk: Q1. In your view, what is occupation-based research? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto @OTalk_ Your topic seems interesting- and I know this should have global applications, too... and your discussion should also apply to occupational therapy assistants who are also qualified professionals in some countries- like USA. #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Question 1 from @chloe_kitto |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Absolutely! Anyone in the business of promoting occupation has a reason to tune in tonight :) #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Any thoughts on our first question this evening? |
 | Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @chloe_kitto i've never hear the phrase before. is it the type of research or the content of the research? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto My definition will be- research on interventions that utilize occupations in OT practice. The use of occupations can vary from client to client, as well as the therapy practitioners who are facilitating such interventions. #otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project #OTalk I imagine it could be both. If we are to provide evidence that #occupationaltherapy is unique and effective, should our research have more of an occupation focus to it? |
 | Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto I don't know much about it but I'd guess similar to occupational science research; looking at the form & meaning of specific occupations? #OTalk |
 | OTMargaret @margaret_ot @OTalk_ Hi, I am lurking from Dartford, #OTalk I'm passionate about our Occupation based work, we deal with daily life skills and need to keep this focus. Article mentions other professions upskilling in many areas, and we need to be aware and work hard to demonstrate our unique skills. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ any thoughts on how we could define this? |
 | Louise @Louisepenny87 @chloe_kitto Also never heard the term before (that I recall anyway). Interested in finding out more #otalk |

| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @chloe_kitto i wonder if there is research you think is not occupation focused enough so i can get an idea what i'm comparing it to?! #otalk |
 | Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 @chloe_kitto #OTalk qualitative research aimed at gaining an understanding of occupation in relation to lived experience, quantitative research aimed at evaluating occupation as intervention or extent of change in a population |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @margaret_ot @OTalk_ #OTalk I think that is the difference - OTs producing evidence for skills that can be adopted by other professions...vs...OTs producing evidence for occupational therapy. |
 | Rose Wilkinson @rosewilkOT @chloe_kitto Researching interventions used with patients - I agree with @BillWongOT - everything we do is unique to each patient & therefore gathering evidence of the impact this has 😊 #OTalk |

| OTMargaret @margaret_ot @OTalk_ #OTalk Q1 Occupation-Based research, I think, is any data gleaned from our assessments and treatments that relate to every day life skills that help improve, teach or adapt to enhance life or improve independence for our service user/patient / families. |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @chloe_kitto: @margaret_ot @OTalk_ #OTalk I think that is the difference - OTs producing evidence for skills that can be adopted by othe… |
 | RachelEastOT @east_ot @chloe_kitto I believe that occupation-based research aims to exclusively explore/measure changes in occupational performance/participation. The emphasis of course looking at occupation as a primary outcome 🤔 #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @east_ot: @chloe_kitto I believe that occupation-based research aims to exclusively explore/measure changes in occupational performance/… |
 | Wendy Bryant @DrWMB Hello sorry bit late #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project The article I cited in the blog warns OTs of being skills-focused in research rather than occupation-focused at the risk of our skills being adopted by other clinicians. It's an interesting comment... #OTalk |
 | Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto I was also thinking occupation-based ‘interventions’ too but where does occupation end at both the lower level (bodily functions that facilitate occupations) and the higher level (social participation etc.) #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @YmchwilStroc: @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto I was also thinking occupation-based ‘interventions’ too but where does occupation end at both t… |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto I thought this would be about research being an occupation (or several occupations), but reading your blog made me question this #otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto #OTalk Q.2 In a way to explore this concept even more, can you consider what is NOT occupation-based research? |
| Rose Wilkinson @rosewilkOT @OTalk_ A Fisher wrote an excellent article called ‘Occupation-centred, Occupation-based, Occupation-focused: same, same or different’ which explains an interpretation of the difference between these terms 😊 #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @DrWMB Ah! That's a great questions too...but no, I was more wanting to establish how I could best keep an occupation-focus in my research so as to give evidence to our uniqueness, rather than a specific skill. #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Some great points raised and debates starting already from question 1. I think question 2 will carry that on. What is NOT occupation-based research? #Otalk |
 | Anwaar✨ @anwaar3838 @chloe_kitto Is it a type of research that focuses on occupation-based interventions? #OTalk |
| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto Research into specific techniques used in OT that aren't necessarily occupation-based #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Thank you for sharing #Otalk |
| Louise @Louisepenny87 @chloe_kitto I’m finding it hard to answer this. So much of the research I interact with ‘links’ to occupation, even if it’s not directly about occupation #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @rosewilkOT @OTalk_ Great suggestion @rosewilkOT, a very good article! 👉 https://t.co/igvS8VefYf #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @colourful_ot #OTalk I think that's right, and I think this is an easier question to answer than #1! |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto This might be controversial, but I struggle with 1) results from standardised scales which are too broad to be useful 2) themes from qualitative interviews, too vague sometimes #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @rosewilkOT: @OTalk_ A Fisher wrote an excellent article called ‘Occupation-centred, Occupation-based, Occupation-focused: same, same or… |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @YmchwilStroc @rosewilkOT @OTalk_ That paper is v useful, I agree #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @colourful_ot: @chloe_kitto Research into specific techniques used in OT that aren't necessarily occupation-based #OTalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @chloe_kitto intervention x improves range movement - would be skills focused intervention x improves occ participation - would be occ-focused or skills training improves occ participation - would be skills focused occ-based intervention improves occ participation be occ focused ? #otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Here's the link to article mentioned earlier. Add it to your reading list #Otalk Thanks @YmchwilStroc |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @Louisepenny87 #OTalk I also find this a messy topic! Arguably, physio research about walking or running for leisure is about an occupation....but how can we separately research ABOUT an occupation from research USING occupation for occupation? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chloe_kitto: @Louisepenny87 #OTalk I also find this a messy topic! Arguably, physio research about walking or running for leisure is… |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @DrWMB @chloe_kitto i thought that too! #otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project #OTalk Yes! I really like this. Very clear. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ How can we ensure occupation is explicit in our research and evidence base? #Otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @chloe_kitto not sure its quite right - but its a start - would only work with intervention effectiveness studies #otalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @Louisepenny87 I suppose it’s about capturing the thinking that takes place. So much research around on the benefits of music/gardening/walking etc, but it’s not critical & doesn’t reveal the thinking behind each decision #otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto #OTalk Q3. What makes this distinction challenging? (the conversations are already moving to this next question) |
 | Suzann Campbell @infantmotortest RT @rosewilkOT: @OTalk_ A Fisher wrote an excellent article called ‘Occupation-centred, Occupation-based, Occupation-focused: same, same or… |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @POPPED_Project @chloe_kitto I could go on for hours about that, probably a good thing it isn’t #Otalk |
 | Debra Jeffery 🌈 @Debbiejanej @chloe_kitto #OTalk I agree @Louisepenny87 I guess research that is not primarily about occupation is not occupation based research?? |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @OTalk_ Maybe we can include it in the article titles? #otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @DrWMB @Louisepenny87 #OTalk Yes! Exactly. I think what makes research occupation-based is our occupational clinical reasoning...and so our research needs to evidence THAT. |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 @OTalk_ #OTalk I think it is essential to use the language of occupation and, in doing so, demistify the language for a wider research audience. |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ Time for question #Otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @chloe_kitto @Louisepenny87 i think where i get muddled - its not the research that is using occupation/ is occupational based, it is the topic/subject of the research #otalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chloe_kitto: @DrWMB @Louisepenny87 #OTalk Yes! Exactly. I think what makes research occupation-based is our occupational clinical rea… |
| Carolyn OT @CeeCeeOT RT @chloe_kitto: @Louisepenny87 #OTalk I also find this a messy topic! Arguably, physio research about walking or running for leisure is… |
 | The Occupational Therapy Hub @theOThub RT @OTalk_: How can we ensure occupation is explicit in our research and evidence base? #Otalk https://t.co/W3v37wa2OH |
| RachelEastOT @east_ot @chloe_kitto So perhaps research which doesn’t explore or discuss how the research impacts occupational performance outcomes? but I guess the results could still have implications for occupational performance even if this was not considered?! 🤯 #otalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto It’s something that has to be revisited. For the Living with Psychosis research, I vetoed any focus on managing medication. I regret that now, as it’s a huge part of living with chronic illness. But I was wary of losing occupational focus #Otalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @DrWMB @chloe_kitto i was trying to think about research methodology being occupation-based and then #otalk 🤯 |
| Debra Jeffery 🌈 @Debbiejanej RT @chloe_kitto: @DrWMB @Louisepenny87 #OTalk Yes! Exactly. I think what makes research occupation-based is our occupational clinical rea… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto Hmmm... we don't want our research article titles to be super long! #otalk https://t.co/tVYj0AwR2y |
| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto I think as occupational therapists we're in the habit of linking everything back to occupation so it's hard for us to look at a study and say "that's not about occupation" since there's always some connection #OTalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @Louisepenny87 For Creek’s Occupational Therapy & Mental Health 6th edition we are avoiding “clinical” reasoning, preferring term “professional” reasoning #OTalk more scope beyond decision making |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @chloe_kitto Occupation is complex and multifaceted. This presents unique challenges for research but there have been huge strides forward in methods to develop & evaluate complex and messy interventions so we shouldn’t shy away from applying them to occupation-based research #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project @DrWMB #OTalk Do you have any thoughts about what methodology would be most useful to capture the occupational thinking behind an intervention? |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto RT @YmchwilStroc: @chloe_kitto Occupation is complex and multifaceted. This presents unique challenges for research but there have been hug… |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto But humor aside, I think we need to do a good job distinguishing what we do is occupation based and why we set ourselves apart from different disciplines. #otalk |

| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @YmchwilStroc @chloe_kitto Yes- and in some languages, it is hard to find an exact word that means occupations. I think we also need to overcome such challenges so that we can produce high quality research that can apply globally. #otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @colourful_ot #OTalk - how can our research showcase our occupational approach? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @chloe_kitto: @colourful_ot #OTalk - how can our research showcase our occupational approach? |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @DrWMB @Louisepenny87 #OTalk Interesting! |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @chloe_kitto @DrWMB Depends on the questions :D Lots of intervention development work is starting to be published - that details the underlying theoretical reasons for why a change should be seen in an effectiveness study #otalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project It’s been done by Mattingly & Fleming, and Unsworth. There’s more, but I’m rusty. Most used mixed methods, to capture thinking. I always liked Sally Denshire’s work. #Otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto #OTalk Q4. Is it important that OT research be occupation-focused? Why? |
| Rose Wilkinson @rosewilkOT @chloe_kitto I think sometimes OT interventions are not always Occupation-based, but focused on enabling occupations as a result / goal #OTalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @chloe_kitto I was thinking the recent @theRCOT guidance on complex interventions https://t.co/Ypm9SQUlsa and the @The_MRC Complex Intervention guidelines https://t.co/obFjYcD4KL but also for quali types methods such as phenomenological analysis #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @DrWMB @POPPED_Project Great signposts - thank you! #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto @colourful_ot I think this depends. We also need our clinicians' help. So, institutions should partner up with clinicians on this matter. #otalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @colourful_ot For me, participatory action research with people directly involved (service users, frontline staff) gives great opportunities to create occupationally focused designs, topics and outcomes #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project @DrWMB #OTalk Capturing the theoretical reasons why.... that's great. |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 @chloe_kitto Oops #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto Yes- especially in this day and age with governments and policy makers need evidence to justify why we are needed in all the settings we claim we have abilities to be involved in. #otalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @Louisepenny87 We first discussed it for 5th edition, several years ago. The feeling was that many occupational therapists do not work in clinical settings. Professional was more appropriate and inclusive. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto and if we don't showcase our values (particularly in money saved), it will be hard for decision makers to justify why we are a needed service. #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @rosewilkOT: @chloe_kitto I think sometimes OT interventions are not always Occupation-based, but focused on enabling occupations as a r… |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project Mixed methods approaches are really useful in this area, the hardest thing is ensuring that both methodologies are treated equally and some form of triangulation happens between the quali & quant findings #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @POPPED_Project: @chloe_kitto @DrWMB Depends on the questions :D Lots of intervention development work is starting to be published - th… |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @rosewilkOT #OTalk But our OT interventions still have an OT frame of reference behind them. Anyone can give a person a wrist splint, however, did they use the PEO framework to decide this? Why is using the PEO framework effective for giving a wrist splint. Occupation-based research? |

| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto I’ve found the research I’ve published has been used to support or challenge local practices, much more so than national guidelines which are so broad-based. Having good reports rapidly available is helpful #OTalk |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ @chungsongyau @chloe_kitto Happens to the best of us @chungsongyau ;-) #Otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @DrWMB: @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto I’ve found the research I’ve published has been used to support or challenge local practices, much more… |
| RachelEastOT @east_ot @chloe_kitto Ideally yes as that would contribute to strengthening our professional identity and professional evidence base.. as OT’s we should always be considering what implications the findings have for occupation. It’s what we should be experts at after all 😇 #otalk |
| Rose Wilkinson @rosewilkOT @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto Definitely! Evidencing what makes our profession unique and also so we are able to use research as evidence to ensure OT services don’t lose their occupational focus to pressures / demands #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT RT @rosewilkOT: @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto Definitely! Evidencing what makes our profession unique and also so we are able to use research as… |
| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto To justify (or rule out) the use of occupations in practice - e.g. I was looking to set up a board game group recently and could hardly find any evidence on board games in OT which felt like a shame since I know they are used! #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto #OTalk Q 5. How do we make occupation-based research interesting to the wider health world? |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 @OTalk_ @chloe_kitto #OTalk thanks for the reassurance - I’m trying to do too many things at once but not good at multi-occupationing! |

| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @rosewilkOT As a patient, I find explanations very interesting. If they are based on published research AND improve my experience, this encourages me to follow instructions, report back carefully, trust staff. If not, doubts creep in #Otalk |

| Anwaar✨ @anwaar3838 @chloe_kitto Yes, to maintain our professional identity and uniqueness #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @DrWMB @rosewilkOT #OTalk Great point. |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @rosewilkOT @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto Although don’t underestimate the place of those who participate in occupation-based interventions, their voice is so important. It’s often they who notice and value the difference between an approach that isn’t occupation-based and one that is #OTalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto I hate to use the TED word again. But, it can be awesome if some of us can go up to that stage and share our effectiveness. I don't think an OT practitioner have made TEDMed yet. Somebody can be the first! #otalk |
| Alex Smith @YmchwilStroc @chloe_kitto Show it works! 😆 #OTalk |
| Rose Wilkinson @rosewilkOT @chloe_kitto I guess it comes down to the clinical reasoning behind the interventions - is the wrist splint given to support a patient to engage in an occupation? - and that could be both immediately and in the long run. Like you said before, a messy & super interesting topic! #OTalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto Knowledge translation or knowledge transfer is probably important here. There are funds in universities to encourage this and literature/guidance to help. #OTalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto Final question #OTalk Q6. What key occupations need a research spotlight on them? |
| #OTalk @OTalk_ RT @YmchwilStroc: @rosewilkOT @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto Although don’t underestimate the place of those who participate in occupation-based… |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto do we need to research every possible occupation, or can you apply evidence from elsewhere? #otalk |
| Bill Wong, OTD, OTR/L @BillWongOT @YmchwilStroc @rosewilkOT @chloe_kitto Although it is surprising that there aren't too many OT #autism researchers knocking on my door! (I am crossing my fingers that I can help with Australians with theirs, though.) #otalk |
| Charlie Chung @CharlieChung90 @chloe_kitto #OTalk we need to be continually developing our theory base and be recognised for applying it to benefit people. If we don’t, our society will be missing occupation as an essential component in intervention/management delivered by multiprofessional services. |

| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @YmchwilStroc @rosewilkOT @BillWongOT @chloe_kitto In the drug trial I was in last year, I had to fill out a standardised measure which included one question about my “dressing, bathing and other everyday activities”. Research team accepted my critique but said it was still v important. Made me smile every time #OTalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Just a few minutes left to discuss our last question. An important one and very relevant to @RCOT current research priorities agenda #Otalk |
| Chloe Kitto @chloe_kitto @POPPED_Project @colourful_ot #OTalk I think we can show our occupational way of thinking (assessing + treating) even if our research is not specifically focused on a single occupation.. |
 | Keir Harding @Keirwales @POPPED_Project @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto This was the subject of my #RCOT2019 talk. It's the doing that's important, not the particular activity. 🙂 #otalk |
| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto Collaborating with people from other professions (e.g. doing a study with SLT researchers on how engaging in a particular occupation affects communication skills) would get the message out to a wider audience #OTalk |

| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto I’m not sure it’s helpful. I used to get very tired of student projects on animal assisted therapy and mindfulness. I guess they’re interventions, but they didn’t bear any relation to my practice experience #OTalk |
| Dr Catriona Connell @DrCConnell @Keirwales @colourful_ot @chloe_kitto depends on the therapeutic goal. board games may be inappropriate for some people #otalk |
| Wendy Bryant @DrWMB @chloe_kitto @Keirwales @POPPED_Project @colourful_ot Yes, that makes much more sense #Otalk |

| #OTalk @OTalk_ Please do keep sharing your thoughts with @chloe_kitto #Otalk |
| Carolina C 🏳️🌈 @colourful_ot @POPPED_Project @chloe_kitto Maybe a bit of both?
