Model of Human Occupation (MOHO)
Developed by Gary Kielhofner based on Occupational Behavior of Mary Reilly
Assumptions: Occupaiton is dynmaic and context-dependent
-personal occupational choices and engagement in occupation shape the individual
- 3 elements are inherent to humans: volition (thoughts and feelings that motivate people to act and is comprised of personal causation, values, and interest), havitation (organized recurring patterns of behavior and is comprised of roles and habits), performance capacity (physical and mental skills needed for performance and the subjective expereince of engaging in occupation)
-Environmnet impacts on the individual through the opportunities, demands, resources and constratints it provides (environment is divided into physcial and social components, each component is influenced by the cultures in which it takes place)
-Eval focuses on exploring the individual's occupational history, goals, voilition, habits, and occupational performance
-Interention focuses on occupational engagement and inclues activities that are purposeful, relevant and meaningful to people and their social context
Life-Style Performance Model
Developed by Gail Fidler
principles: lifestyle performance model seeks to identify and describe the nature and critical doing elements of an element that support and foster acheivement of a satistying, productive life-style
-proposes a method for looking at the match between the enviornment and the individual's needs
-eval focuses on obtaining an activity history and a life-style performance profile related to 4 domanins. Environmental factors are explored
Hypotheses are proposed from Life-Style Performance Model
1. mastery and competence in activities that are valued and given priortity in one's society or soical gorup have greater meaning in defining social efficacy than competence in activites that carry less soical sig
2. A total activity and each its elements have symbolic as well as reality-based meanings that ntoably affect individual experiences and motivation
3. Mastery and competence are more readily acheived, and the sense of personal plasure and intrinsic gratification is more intense, in those activities tha are most cosely match to ones' neurobiology and psychological structure
4. compentence and achievement are most readily seen and verified in the end-produc t or outcome of an activity; thus, the qability to do to overcome, and to acheive becomes obvious to sef and others
10 fundamental human needs for performance and quality of life that enhanced by the environment per life-style performance model
1. autonomy; self-determination
2. individuality: self-differentiation
3. affiliation: evidence of belonging
4 volition: the having of altneratives
5. consensual validation: acknowledgemnt of acheivement and verification of perspectives
6. predictability: discernment and evaluation of cause and effect
7 self-efficacy: evidence of competence
8. adventure: exploration of new and unknown
9 accomodation: freedom from physcial or mental harm and compensation for limitations
10 refelction: contemplation of events and meaning of things
Performance measurement domains of quality functioning per life-style perfomance model
1. self-care and maintenance
3. intrinisc gratification
3 service to others
4 recriprocal relationships
Intervention of life-style performance model
addresses 5 main questions to focus interention:
1. what does person need to be able to do
2. what is person able to do
3 what's the person unable to do
4 what interventions are needed and in what order
5 what are the characterisics and patterns of activity and of the environment that will enchnac the person's quality of life
Use any interventions or activities that promote the performance in the four domains
Ecology of Human perfomrance Model (EHP)
developed by Winnie Dunn and colleagues at University of Kansas Medical Center
principles: emphasizes role of individual's context and how the environment impacts a person and his/her task performance
applicable to people across lifespan
4 main constructs of moedl are person, tasks, context & person-context-task transaction
11 assumptions of the model
-eval ustilizes checklists
Assumptions of EHP model
1. ecology refers to the interaction between a person and his/her enviornments
2. a person's performance is understood by looking at relationship between the person, context and the task
3. performance occurs when a person acts to engage in tasks within a context
4 each person is a unique individual with sensorimotor, cognitive and psychosocial skills and abilities
5 range of a person's performance is based on the transaction betwen the person and the context
6. skill that a person possesses can be increased or decresed due to illness and/or stress; person's interest and life experiences lead to continually changing variables
7. contexts are dynamic rather than satitc; there a reciprocal relationhsip between a person an his/her context where one incluences the other
8. roles that a person has in life is made up of tasks; transactional relationship between the person, task, and context makes up occupations and roles
9. theres a difference between a person's perfomance in his/her natual contexts and simulated expriences
10 occupational therapy process, people are empowered by increaseing self-determination
11. model defines independence as using the supports in a person's contex to meet his/her needs and wants
EHP intervention
specific strategies designed to help person, context, task, or all three:
1. est and restore: enahncing a person's abiliites by teaching skills lost due to illness or disability or never learned
2. alter: assessing a person's context to determine which is the best match for the person's abilities
3. adapt/modify: chanign context or task in some way so that it leads the person to succesfu performance3
4. prevent: minimizing risks that might develop so the problem in perfomrance doesn; develop
5. create: assisting person by promoting enriching and complex performances in the person's context
Occupational Adaptation
developed by Janette schkade and Sally Schultz
-principles: process individual goes through to adapt to his/her environment, cosists of three elements (person (consist of sensorimotor, cognititive & psychosocial), occupational enviornment (physcial, social & cultural systems) & interaction (occupational response) between the 2
-assumptions: occupation provides means to adapt to changing needs & conditions & desire to participate is intrinsic motivational drive to adapt; occupational adaptation is a normative process
Occupational Adaptation eval
focuses on occupational environment, role expectation, and individual's potential for adpatations and the best means for adaptation to occur
Occupational Adaptation intervention
focuses on increasing skills needed for occupatioal adpatation addressing both individual and enviornment
Role Acquisition
Developed by Ann Mosey
-principles: intervention focsed on acquistion of specific skills needed to fxn in environment, individal employs task and social skills to meet demands of personally desired and necessary roles, performance is addressed through fxn/dysfunction continuums in 7 categories (task skills, interpersonal skills, family interaction, ADLs, school, work, play/leisure/recreation); temporal adaptation addresses the individual's temporal orientation and ability to organize his/her use of time in a need-satisfying manner
Role Acquisition eval & Intervention
Eval: focuses on gathering data indicative of fxn/dysfunction in the above categories
intervention: principles of learning to promote skill development, general postuales for cahgne to guid tx process (LTG, can teaching interpesonal skills and tasks separately or within context initially, adequate repertoire of behavior is acuqired through ativities that are interesting to the client, intrasychic coentent is shared matter-of-factly with client and reality testing is provided, OT must know very specific behaviors desireing to promote/change). Some continuums have specific postulates to use
any tx activitites that use teaching-learning principles
Cogntiive Disabilities
Developed by Claudia Allen
-principles: based on Piaget & neurobiological stages of cognitive development; cognitive ability determined by biological factors and potential for improvement is dictated by those factors; once max level has been acheived, compensations must be made biologically, psychologically, or environmentally; cognitive performance is placed on a continuum divided into 6 levels that are further divided into modes
Automatic Actions, Level 1 of Cognitive Disabilities
characterized by automatic motor responses and changes in the autonomic nervous system. Conscious response to the external environment is minimal
Postural Actions Level 2 of Cognitive disabilities
characgterized by movement that's associated with comfort. There's some awareness of lg objects in the environment and hte individual may assit the caregiver with simple tasks
Manual Actions, Level 3 Cognitive Disabilities Model
charcterizedc by beginning to use hands to manipulate objects. The individual may be able to perfomr a limited number of tasks with long-term repetitive traning
Goal Directed Actions, Level IV Cognitive Disabilities
charcterized by the ability to carry simple tasks through to completion. The individeaul relies heavily on visual cues. May be able to perform est routines but cannot cope with unexpected events
Explatory Actions, Level 5 Cognitive Disabilities
characterized by overt trial and error problem solving. New learning occurs. This may be the usual level of functioning for 20% of population
Planned Actions, Level 6 Cognitive Disabiliteis
charcterized by absence of disability; person can think of hypothetical situations and do mental trail-and-error problem solving
Cognitive Disabilities Eval
-focus on identifying individual's current cognitive abilites and their implications for perforamnce, indpendence & the need for assistance. The potential for improvement is also considered
-observation during fxnal tasks is emphasized
-several eval tools have been developed (allen cognitive level screen-5 (ACLS-5), Routine Task Inventory, Cogntivie Performance Test (for Alzheimer's))
Cognitive Disabilities Intervention
-activities used to elicit the individual's highest cognitive level
-therapy focuses on maintaining the individual's highest level of fxn
-environmental changes and activity adaptations are made to compensate for deficitis and allow the greatest degree of independence
-the OT practitioner works with the team to develop an appropriate discharge plan
-OT practitioner should meet with the family or other caregivers to develop understanding of the individual's abilities, deficits, and care needs
Cognitive Behavioral FOR/Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
developed by AAron Beck,
used with individuals with schizophrenia, anxiety, bipolar, panic, obsessive-compulsive, personality, somatoform, and eating disorders
Principles of CBT
combines cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy,
3 components are didactic aspects (involve therapist explaining basic concepts and principles of CBT), cognitive techniques (eliciting automatic thoughts, testing automatic thoughts, identifying maladaptive underlying assumptions and testing validity of maladaptive assumptions) and behavioral techniques (used with cogntive techniques to test and challenge maladatpive and inaccurate cogntitions)
cognitive triad: comprised of negative self evaluaiton, pessimistic view, sense of hopelessness
