What is the central idea of the Occupational Adaptation MOP?
answer
Adaptation
question
Occupational Adaptation was originally a FOR. true/false
answer
True
question
OA was first introduced within which FORs?
answer
OA was 1st introduced in FORs in pediatric practice such as sensory integration & spatiotemporal adaptation
question
Who created the OA?
answer
Schkade & Schultze
question
What is the optimal goal of OA?
answer
Relative mastery & occupational adaptation
question
How does OA represent one of the most complex occupation-based models?
answer
By incorporating dynamic inter-relationships of multiple factors & subprocesses
question
What are the three elements of OA?
answer
person, environment, & the interaction between the two
question
Which areas of the OTPF does the OA encompass?
answer
All areas of the OTPF
question
What is critically important to the OA model in order to facilitate the client's internal adaptative process?
answer
Therapeutic use of self by the OT practitioner
question
What is part of the normative process of human adaptation?
answer
Occupational performance
question
What is the major difference between OA & most other models in regards to function & adaptation?
answer
Most models make the assumption that when clients become functional, they adapt. The OA model assumes the opposite-that when people have the capacity to adapt, they can function.
question
What are the 4 subprocesses of OA?
answer
1) adaptative response generation 2) adaptive response evaluation 3) adaptive response integration 4) evaluation of response outcome
question
Which subprocess anticipates the necessary components of an adaptive response, and what are the 3 mechanisms of that subprocess?
answer
Adaptive response generation subprocess; 1) adaptation energy 2) adaptive response modes 3) adaptive response behaviors
question
Which subprocess occurs when the person evaluates the quality of the occupational response, which OA refers to as the extent of "relative mastery"?
answer
Adaptive response evaluation subprocess
question
Which subprocess is activated when the person's judgement of relative mastery is unsatisfactory, and it prompts the individual to try different or new responses to the same occupational challenge & try to produce a better outcome?
answer
Adaptive response integration subprocess
question
Which subprocess is activated after the occupational response is generated?
answer
Evaluation of response outcomes subprocess
question
What is identified through the client's experience of relative mastery?
answer
Adaptation
question
The continuum of function & dysfunction include which 3 possible states?
answer
1) occupational adaptation 2) homeostasis 3) occupational dys-adaptation
question
How does the OA model view successful occupational performance?
answer
It's viewed as the "direct result of the person's ability to adapt with sufficient mastery to satisfy self & others".
question
What are the 3 resources of motivation mentioned in the OA model?
answer
1) desire for mastery [person] 2) press for mastery [person-environment interaction] 3) demand for mastery [environment]
question
What are the 3 areas of reasoning that the authors of OA have created as a guide to practice?
answer
1) OA data gathering 2) OA programming 3) Evaluation of the occupational adaptation process
question
Are there specific assessment tools designed for the OA model? yes/no
answer
No. However, evaluation of adaptive capacity is best accomplished w/in the context of occupational performance.
question
What is the focus of intervention in OA model?
answer
intervention on occupational roles
question
What are the two ways that groups are structured in OA?
answer
1) Clients are placed in groups according to the meaningful life roles they choose to work on in therapy. 2) Cognitive & psychosocial abilities of group members should be similar.
question
What should goals of any OA intervention facilitate improvement in?
answer
client's adaptiveness
question
The goal of OA groups is more on _____ & ______.
answer
Process & learning
