Syllabus Development of professional practice skills. Fieldwork placement in the context of clinical experience with health consumers. Client centred practice, ethics, clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice, critically reflective practice. Complex clinical issues. Risk assessment, management and prevention.

Introduction Welcome to Integrated Occupational Therapy Professional Practice. The unit comprises a weekly fieldwork placement in an aged care residential facility and tutorials where the student’s occupational therapy practice will be critiqued and enhanced. The unit aims to solidify occupational therapy theory and content learned throughout the occupational therapy course thus far by applying it to a real world health facility and people who live there. Students will attend an aged care residential site and work with four residents for one day a week and then come prepared to class to critique and explore the facets of professional practice encountered during the experience. The learning is driven by the students with the aim of the tutorials being spaces for which students can synthesise, discuss and debate key aspects of occupational therapy practice with the guidance of their peers and tutors. It is only 6 months till you start your full-time fieldwork placements in fourth year so it is time to put all your knowledge to work. This unit will be authentic and will challenge you every week.

Unit Learning Outcomes All graduates of Curtin University achieve a set of nine graduate attributes during their course of study. These tell an employer that, through your studies, you have acquired discipline knowledge and a range of other skills and attributes which employers say would be useful in a professional setting. Each unit in your course addresses the graduate attributes through a clearly identified set of learning outcomes. They form a vital part in the process referred to as assurance of learning. The learning outcomes tell you what you are expected to know, understand or be able to do in order to be successful in this unit. Each assessment for this unit is carefully designed to test your achievement of one or more of the unit learning outcomes. On successfully completing all of the assessments you will have achieved all of these learning outcomes.

Your course has been designed so that on graduating we can say you will have achieved all of Curtin's Graduate Attributes through the assurance of learning process in each unit.

Assessment Assessment schedule

Detailed information on assessment tasks

1. There are TWO components required to Pass this section of the unit: 1. Fieldwork – graded as Pass/Fail at the end of the fieldwork placement 2. Continuing Professional Development hours: complete 15 or more hours of CPD and complete the CPD Portfolio.

1. FIELDWORK - is graded as Pass/Fail BEFORE FIELDWORK COMMENCES ORIENTATION SESSION AT CURTIN - mandatory A workshop will be held in Orientation week to prepare you for your fieldwork placement. This session is mandatory and you will not be able to attend your placement unless you have attended.

l Friday 29 July 2016 l 8:45am to 3pm l Building 410 Room 201 (i.e. the brand new white building at the Angazi Café end of campus)

If you cannot attend: l you need a valid reason and must email this to Nigel Gribble l the 6 hour session will be videoed and uploaded to BlackBoard. You will have to watch the video (all the way

through – we will check) and answer some questions and email these to Nigel Gribble. FIELDWORK PREPARATION TASKS – mandatory Students must complete the following BEFORE fieldwork commences.

1. Read the information on your allocated site in SONIA (the online system). Make sure you know:

l Who is the allocated site contact person? l Time, date and where to meet in Week 1 for your Induction Session onsite l DO NOT contact the site beforehand (unless instructed to do so). Make sure you turn up at the correct time and

place as per instructions. 2. FIELDWORK SITE INDUCTION – important. You will probably have to attend an induction session onsite

at the aged care facility in Week 1. This may cover manual handling, confidentiality, safety and other important aspects of working in the facility. It is your responsibility to arrange to attend this at the time mandated by the site.

3. Ensure you wear the OT uniform and a name badge everyday (unless instructed to do something else) 4. Take a copy of these documents to fieldwork every day

l Police clearance – appropriate to the fieldwork site l First aid – must have been attained within the last 3 years l Immunisations – ensure all of these are up to date.

5. Research (e.g. Google) the facility so you have an understanding of their mission, values, types of accommodation and residents.

6. Review your Gerontology, Pathophysiology, Neuro, Neuropsychiatry and Physical Rehabilitation notes – in fact, review the whole course e.g. dementia, mobility and equipment, secondary complications to immobility such as bedsores, stroke, occupation as a therapeutic medium, goal setting, OT process, initial interview skills etc.

a) FIELDWORK PLACEMENT DETAILS Hours: You MUST complete at least 75 hours onsite - you can do more hours. Dates: Week 1 to Week 14 of semester. If needed, you can attend in the tuition free weeks of the Semester. Days and times: You will be onsite on Wednesdays of each week. However, you may be able to spread your hours over different days and even on the weekend. However this determined by fieldwork site and the residents you are working with – NOT by you. Your work/personal schedule cannot control when you are onsite. If the site demands you are there on Wednesdays, you will need to be there on Wednesdays. Because the resident’s presentation can be quite different in the evening versus morning, we recommend being onsite at various times of the day. Supervision visits from Curtin OT staff: will only occur on Wednesdays starting the Week of 17 August. You MUST be available on the allocated date and time. See BlackBoard for schedule.

PURPOSE of the FIELDWORK PLACEMENT The fieldwork placement will be in a residential aged care facility. In partners, you will develop a therapeutic relationship and implement an OT program for each of your FOUR RESIDENTS over the whole semester. The four residents may have a range of current occupational performance from high to low functioning. Working with your OT student partner, you will be the occupational therapist for the four residents you are allocated. Your focus will be on identifying the problems that are impacting their current participation in meaningful occupations and occupational roles. You need to spend as much time as you need to get to know each resident and gain an understanding of their occupational performance and roles, now and in the past. Ultimately, your purpose with each resident is to:

a. identify a range of problems/barriers that are currently impacting the person b. identify some realistic goals that can be achieved over the semester c. trial and implement some strategies that will assist the person to reach their goals d. evaluate the outcomes e. handover any sustainable strategies to faculty staff including the OTs, OT assistants or nursing staff.





TASKS TO COMPLETE DURING FIELDWORK

1. Complete at least 75 hours onsite. Record your onsite time using the Fieldwork Timesheet (available on Blackboard). You need to be onsite with your partner the majority of the time – you are a team.

2. For each resident, each pair of OT students will:

l build good rapport l complete relevant OT assessments and observations of occupational performance l identify the most significant problems/barriers l develop a range of achievable, realistic occupational goals that can be achieved over the semester l implement an intervention plan to assist each resident to achieve their occupational goals l evaluate the outcomes l handover any sustainable aspects of the OT program to OTs/OT assistants/other staff at the end of the

semester – if relevant 3. EACH student must create four Resident Files (one file for each resident). Files need to be kept up-to date i.e.

every week you must complete documentation. Each Resident File will contain.

a. daily progress notes. IMPORTANT - every time you work with each resident (at least daily) or speak to a staff member about your resident - you must write a progress note. If you discuss your resident in the weekly tutorial you should write a progress note. Format of progress notes: follow the documentation guidelines (e.g. SOAP, DAP or a narrative note) the facility use. Attach a copy of the guidelines in the resident file. If there are no documentation guidelines available, please use either SOAP or DAP as per the guidelines described by Sames (2010).

b. social and medical history c. occupational history d. occupational therapy assessments i.e. records of interviews, observations, standardised assessments,

meetings/discussion with staff/team members and any other relevant information e. occupational goals written in the format “Who, Will do what, Under what conditions, How well, By when” f. occupational therapy plan:

l an overall plan for the whole semester – written in about Week 4 after the assessment phase and goals have been determined

l some session plans i.e. what you plan to do each week with each resident

Resident Files MUST be 100% de-identified. Files must look professional and be treated with respect. No identifying information should be included in the files.

Important: Resident files are to be brought to your tutorials each week for discussion and critique. 4. Introduce yourself to all the relevant staff in the facility e.g. OT, nurses, physios, OT assistants, admin staff.

Get to know these people. Be part of the team.

5. For the facility, you may be asked to run activity groups or complete small projects – running groups is great learning opportunity. Jump at every opportunity offered to you but make sure you are spending quality time working with your four residents.





SUPERVISION ON-SITE and WHERE TO GET GUIDANCE - important OT students MUST work relatively independently. You are NOT formally supervised. Most sites may not have an OT onsite when you are there (some might). Thus, it is 100% your responsibility to work towards the above goals all by yourself. You can ask the allocated site contact for help and guidance but don’t expect to them to spend much time with you. We have told the onsite OTs and staff to:

l guide the student on where information can be found l guide the student on who to speak to l encourage the student to independently source information and to initiate interaction with residents and

relevant staff.

Supervision Visits by Curtin OT Staff You will be visited by a OT from the Curtin Fieldwork Team once during the semester. They will provide support and guidance but will also be observing your professionalism, rapport with residents/staff and your clinical reasoning.

l If they consider you are performing competently and professionally you will Pass. l However, if they identify that you are under-performing, an action plan and goals will be created and you will

be expected to achieve these goals. If you do not achieve the goals, you may be graded as Failing the fieldwork placement.

Supervision visits from Curtin OT staff will only occur on Wednesdays starting the Week of 17 August. You MUST be available on the allocated date and time. A schedule of Supervision Visits will be placed on BlackBoard. On the day they attend it is the student’s responsibility to:

l Advise relevant facility staff onsite that the Curtin OT is attending l Advise your residents that you may not be available at the times the Curtin OT. Ask their permission for you to

introduce the Curtin OT. l Book a room for meetings with the Curtin OT (if more than one pair of students, then book multiple times) l Give the Curtin OT a tour of the facility and introduce your residents l Prepare questions and issues you need to discuss l Be professional and organised





HOW TO PASS FIELDWORK Each student will self-evaluate your performance using the Student Practice Evaluation Form - Revised (SPEF-R). You must grade yourself on all relevant items and write comments.

l your Midway SPEF-R is completed in week 6 l your Final SPEF-R is completed in Week 14

The fieldwork placement is assessed as a Pass/Fail. In order to PASS your fieldwork placement, you must: a. Complete a minimum of 75 hours onsite b. Submit a completed timesheet to BlackBoard c. Submit the completed SPEF-R at the Midway and Final points. d. demonstrate professional behaviours and attitudes (see below for guidance):

l before, during and after the fieldwork placement; l during all tutorials related to this fieldwork placement

e. Maintain confidentiality during and after fieldwork. Any significant breaches of confidentiality WILL result in a FAIL mark being awarded for the placement and thus the unit

f. Maintain a well organised set of four resident files

You will pass if you: l undertake the role of occupational therapist to the residents l you turn up and complete all 75 hours l have fun, bring energy and enthusiasm l build up great rapport with all the residents and staff l work professionally every day i.e. OT uniform, well presented, no mobile phone use (except when relevant to

the fieldwork), no smoking, so social media, professional language at all times etc. l follow the rules and polices of the site. l are respectful to staff and residents l stay out of any workplace politics.

You will fail if you:

l act in an unprofessional manner on an ongoing basis l complete unsafe acts with residents l are told by staff to NOT do something and you continue to do this l use inappropriate or offensive language or gestures l do not complete the 75 hours on-site

WHAT TO SUBMIT for FIELDWORK

Upload the following to BlackBoard

a. your Midway SPEF-R in week 6 b. your Final SPEF-R - Week 14 c. timesheet showing you have attended 75 hours onsite - Week 14

Upload the following the SONIA FIELDWORK Database - by week 14:

a. your Final SPEF-R b. timesheet





b) CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT – 15 hours minimum

All practising occupational therapist are mandated by AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulatory Agency) to complete 30 hours of Continuing Professional Development courses and activities every year. HOW MANY HOURS: As a third year student you MUST complete a MINIMUM of 15 hours of CPD activities for this unit. The ONLY DIFFERENCES between what AHPRA expect and what you do this semester is that all your 15 hours can be in one category OR spread across two OR three categories. TIME FRAME: you can claim any approved CPD hours you have completed in 2016 (i.e. you CANNOT use hours from 2015). IDEAS: Formal Continuing Professional Development is organised by a number of Occupational Therapy professional associations so looking at these websites is a good place to start.

l http://www.otauswa.com.au l http://www.otaus.com.au l there are numerous Facebook sites dedicated to OT e.g. https://www.facebook.com/OT24vx

WHAT IS ACCEPTABLE as CPD HOURS: Refer to the AHPRA guidelines on what is considered CPD hours (and what is not allowed)

l http://www.occupationaltherapyboard.gov.au/Codes-Guidelines/Continuing-professional-development.aspx l http://www.occupationaltherapyboard.gov.au/

If you are unsure whether a CPD activity is acceptable, read the AHPRA guidelines. The guidelines explain this in detail. I will not be answering questions about whether or not a particular activity is appropriate to be classified as CPD. As a practising occupational therapist, it is your responsibility to determine what is acceptable as CPD and what is not, so start being accountable for these type of decisions now. NB: you will also be required to do CPD hours that are AHPRA approved in fourth year and for the rest of your career as an OT so you should learn about what is and is not acceptable now. TASKS to COMPLETE for CPD

1. complete 15 hours or more of CPD 2. fill in your CPD activities in the CPD Portfolio template - on Blackboard - this is modified from the actual AHPRA

template to make it easier for you as a third year 3. you must write a MINIMUM of 50 words per CPD activity in the 'Learning from CPD Activity' section

2.

WHAT TO SUBMIT for CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

l Upload the CPD Portfolio document with all sections completed to BlackBoard l Also – bring your CPD portfolio to your viva

3. ORAL VIVA

Students will complete a 10-minute verbal viva during the exam weeks.

l Students will answer questions from an academic staff member. l You will verbally answer questions about ONE resident (randomly selected by assessor) and/or your OT skills and

practice. l You will asked TWO or THREE questions – depending on how much time you spend on your responses. Speak for

about 3 – 5 minutes on each question. When answering questions, where appropriate, it is expected that you will refer to key OT theory including (but not limited to) OT models, OT process (e.g. CPPF), evidence based practice, clinical reasoning types, reflective practice, professional attitudes and values, ethical principles, Australian Minimum Competency Standards for New Graduation OTs, literature from texts and journals.

l You can bring in resources from the placement to refer to during the viva l Vivas will be filmed for moderation and appeal purposes. l Bring all four resident files AND your Continuing Professional Development portfolio

EXAMPLE VIVA QUESTIONS

1. Imagine this resident’s son or daughter asks you: “How is my mum/dad going? What have you been working on with them over the last few months? What have you achieved?”

2. Imagine this resident’s son or daughter asks you: “So what is going to happen now that you have left? Will anything you have done be continued”

3. You are (verbally) handing over the OT program for this resident to the onsite OT. What would you say in this handover? What key information would you include?

4. Imagine your OT fieldwork supervisor asks: “Why did you use xxxxx assessment with this resident? Why? How did it go? Did you get the information you were hoping for? How did you use this information subsequently?”

5. On your last day of fieldwork, the physiotherapist asks “What have you been doing with this resident that is important for me to know about?”

6. What did you learn from XXX CPD opportunity? How might you use the information from this in the future?

FINAL VIVA QUESTIONS will be released towards the end of semester

Pass requirements In order to Pass the unit, you need to:

l Complete 75 hours onsite AND l Pass the Fieldwork placement AND l Score an overall final mark of 50% or more for the Client report and Oral viva. Students must complete and submit all

pieces of assessment to pass the unit. Submission of a blank assignment does not constitute ‘completing’ an assessment.

Fair assessment through moderation

Moderation describes a quality assurance process to ensure that assessments are appropriate to the learning outcomes, and that student work is evaluated consistently by assessors. Minimum standards for the moderation of assessment are described in the Assessment and Student Progression Manual, available from policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm





http://policies.curtin.edu.au/policies/teachingandlearning.cfm

Late assessment policy

This ensures that the requirements for submission of assignments and other work to be assessed are fair, transparent, equitable, and that penalties are consistently applied.

1. All assessments students are required to submit will have a due date and time specified on this Unit Outline. 2. Students will be penalised by a deduction of ten percent per calendar day for a late assessment submission

(eg a mark equivalent to 10% of the total allocated for the assessment will be deducted from the marked value for every day that the assessment is late). This means that an assessment worth 20 marks will have two marks deducted per calendar day late. Hence if it was handed in three calendar days late and given a mark of 16/20, the student would receive 10/20. An assessment more than seven calendar days overdue will not be marked and will receive a mark of 0.

Assessment extension

A student unable to complete an assessment task by/on the original published date/time (eg examinations, tests) or due date/time (eg assignments) must apply for an assessment extension using the Assessment Extension form (available from the Forms page at students.curtin.edu.au/administration/) as prescribed by the Academic Registrar. It is the responsibility of the student to demonstrate and provide evidence for exceptional circumstances beyond the student's control that prevent them from completing/submitting the assessment task.

The student will be expected to lodge the form and supporting documentation with the unit coordinator before the assessment date/time or due date/time. An application may be accepted up to five working days after the date or due date of the assessment task where the student is able to provide an acceptable explanation as to why he or she was not able to submit the application prior to the assessment date. An application for an assessment extension will not be accepted after the date of the Board of Examiners' meeting.

l Applications for extension should be submitted via email to [email protected] l If circumstances for your extension application are likely to impact on multiple units, please contact the course

coordinator

Deferred assessments

Supplementary assessments

Supplementary assessments are not available in this unit.

Reasonable adjustments for students with disabilities/health circumstances likely to impact on studies

A Curtin Access Plan (CAP) is a document that outlines the type and level of support required by a student with a disability or health condition to have equitable access to their studies at Curtin. This support can include alternative exam or test arrangements, study materials in accessible formats, access to Curtin’s facilities and services or other support as discussed with an advisor from Disability Services (disability.curtin.edu.au). Documentation is required from your treating Health Professional to confirm your health circumstances.

If you think you may be eligible for a CAP, please contact Disability Services. If you already have a CAP please provide it to the Unit Coordinator at the beginning of each semester.

If your results show that you have been granted a deferred assessment you should immediately check OASIS for details.

Deferred examinations/tests will be held from 12/12/2016 to 16/12/2016 . Notification to students will be made after the Board of Examiners’ meeting via the Official Communications Channel (OCC) in OASIS.

Academic Integrity (including plagiarism and cheating) Any conduct by a student that is dishonest or unfair in connection with any academic work is considered to be academic misconduct. Plagiarism and cheating are serious offences that will be investigated and may result in penalties such as reduced or zero grades, annulled units or even termination from the course.

Plagiarism occurs when work or property of another person is presented as one's own, without appropriate acknowledgement or referencing. Submitting work which has been produced by someone else (e.g. allowing or contracting another person to do the work for which you claim authorship) is also plagiarism. Submitted work is subjected to a plagiarism detection process, which may include the use of text matching systems or interviews with students to determine authorship.

Cheating includes (but is not limited to) asking or paying someone to complete an assessment task for you or any use of unauthorised materials or assistance during an examination or test.

From Semester 1, 2016, all incoming coursework students are required to complete Curtin’s Academic Integrity Program (AIP). If a student does not pass the program by the end of their first study period of enrolment at Curtin, their marks will be withheld until they pass. More information about the AIP can be found at: https://academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au/students/AIP.cfm

Refer to the Academic Integrity tab in Blackboard or academicintegrity.curtin.edu.au for more information, including student guidelines for avoiding plagiarism.

Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Expectations Curtin students are expected to have reliable internet access in order to connect to OASIS email and learning systems such as Blackboard and Library Services.

You may also require a computer or mobile device for preparing and submitting your work.

Recent unit changes Students are encouraged to provide unit feedback through eVALUate, Curtin's online student feedback system. For more information about eVALUate, please refer to evaluate.curtin.edu.au/info/.

Recent changes to this unit include:

1. Expanded the number of fieldwork sites. 2. Allocated placements in relation to student address to minimise transportation issues to and from fieldwork. 3. Scheduled the preparatory session at the end of O week. 4. Changed the Client Report to focus on the student critiquing their own OT practice skills and professional

behaviours 5. In the past student pairs were allocated to the same tutorial group but that reduced flexibility so we have removed

this requirement. This also means students are in tutorials hearing a great range of experiences. 6. Students will be visited onsite by fieldwork team members at least once during the semester for guidance.

Each tutorial will follow a similar format:

Describe a few issues you need help with?

l Every student will write ideas, suggestions, and questions and give these to each student who presented l The class and the tutor will critique the presentation and offer solutions/answers to questions.

l STICK this work up on the walls. l Everybody to read other students work l Tutor selects ONE student who will give a quick overview and critique of their own work l Another student then critiques the students work
