health perceptions, and satisfaction with care
(adapted from Request for Planning Ideas, 2001). Outcomes are
1. the end-result of the occupational therapy process

Becoming a Practice ScholarBecoming a Practice Scholar "I think my constant questioning of why I am doing what I am doing and
why other clinicians do what they do really drives my occupations as a practice-scholar. I look to the research and question if there is sufficient evidence available. This has driven me to start several research projects.”
Capt. Lynsay R. Whelan, United States Army, Assistant Chief of Occupational Therapy Services, Baghdad, Iraq
“Participating in research has stressed the importance of following best practices. It has increased my confidence in my knowledge and my ability to share this information. The most influencing aspect of the practice-scholar role is that I consider almost daily how my interventions could be challenged or confirmed by research.”
Debbie Smitsky, OTR/L Watson Institute

Occupation:Ecology of Human Performance
Performance range is the configuration of tasks that a person
executes.
Dunn, et al (1994)

Intervention
Establish/ improve skills & abilitiesRestore
Alter modify the context for performance
Adapt modify contextual or task features
Prevent preclude the development of barriers to performance
Create creates new contexts & options Dunn, et al (1994)
Occupation:Ecology of Human Performance
Arrows =Variables affected by each intervention
Dunn, et al (1994)
Occupation:Occupational Adaptation
Develop individual’s capacity for adaptation
Encourages innovative choice of meaningful occupations for intervention
Transformation Into a Practice Scholar
“To realize PS you need ‘energy, enthusiasm and experience’
“I am stale; I feel isolated. I need to organize, prioritize.”
“Connect to create”
“I am the ‘Queen of the Uncomfortable’; PS is way to challenge the process.
“It’s a way to positively direct my energy.”
“This is “practice scholars without borders”• “Everyone dances differently.”
The Practice-Scholar Transformation:From Concept to Professional Engagement
SELF-REFLECTION:
How can I initiate the practice-scholar processwithin myself?

scholar within?
Rallying Optimism & ResilienceBecoming a Practice Scholar in Daily Practice
Practitioner Outcomes/Evidence of Success: narrative reports; retrospective data not analyzed yet
desire for more not less involvement in process increased motivation for the ‘just right’ evidence increased confidence to do own research ability to connect with university &
prior learning (re-newed) passion to contribute to profession employer gave release time
PDUs/ verification of participation
waitlist for participation
The Practice-Scholar Transformation:
Recent learning from sharing our approach:
Look for institutional levers: mission, vision, strategic plan, accreditation, valued recognition, ‘irritations’
Practitioners stress at hearing word research. Call outcome studies or practice scholarship.
Consider collaborating with your Institutional Research Department (if no faculty readily available)
Lead into PS as staff development process
Support for role engagementUse technology to connect—bulletin boardsEngage volunteers so have time (Ex. data entry)Adapt fieldwork student activities
