management of occupational therapy in mental health nursing
Answers
Answer:
Along with all the other roles an Occupational Therapist plays in rehabilitation, they are also trained to address mental health issues as they relate to rehabilitation. There are a lot of psychological components to occupational therapy, and O.T.s are skilled at handling them
A large part of an O.T.’s responsibility is to help motivate the patient to participate in their rehabilitation. This can be accomplished through active listening, and discovering what ingredients of daily life the patient values the most. The O.T. then collaborates with the patient to develop a Plan of Care. By understanding what inspires the patient, the O.T. can incorporate into the treatment activities that have meaning and value for that specific patient. When the patient feels that the treatment has a purpose, they are more likely to participate fully and give more effort to the rehabilitation exercises.
