You have heard it and probably lived it, maybe even before the pandemic. Burnout is a real issue in healthcare, but what are some things that we can do to address it? And are we treating the symptoms versus asking about the underlying root cause, our environment? ⁣
⁣
Listen to this OT Digest podcast episode where I give a snapshot of some studies out there right now that are showing promising results for preventing and healing burnout in addition to some calls to action for both healthcare professionals and healthcare organizations. ⁣
⁣
For all of those that are struggling with this, I’m so sorry. It can be really challenging and I’m not going to say that this podcast is the solution. I hope it’s a start to a very important conversation.

I’d really love to know your thoughts and experiences with this topic and if any other resources/activities have helped you! ⁣

You find a research article, now what?

How do we make that jump for getting the information and putting it into clinical practice? This is not a simple process but the key takeaways for doing this include

✅ Make sure the article is legit
📋 Read through the methods section to get the specifics
🧐 Imagine doing the intervention with your client
🚧 Identify any barriers (this is where you can reach out to the author)
🔭 Track how its going
🔄 Try something new if it's not working

Now, more than ever, this blog post feels important to share again. It can feel overwhelming to try to dive into analyzing an article or research, but this skill is really critical.

As healthcare providers, it's essential to ensure we are familiar with the research and can effectively share it in a clear and unbiased manner, providing our clients with the most effective care.

It can change the way you use the information Without taking a critical view of an article, I have fallen into the trap of taking the author’s word for it by just reading the discussion, which can be dangerous. Why? If you read the discussion and takeaways and the authors report positive resul

New Infographic: The Evidence-Based Benefits of Babywearing 👶🏻

Wearing my baby has been one of the most unexpectedly beautiful parts of motherhood. 💛 But without the right support and resources I probably would have thrown in the towel early on.

I decided to check out the research to see what were the evidence-based impacts behind it. I learned babywearing actually helps with bonding, reduces crying, supports their hip development, improves feeding and so much more which made sense from my experience. Oh also and it said there was some back pain too- that one was accurate as well!

I think OTs could find themselves being able to educate about this topic in a variety of settings so I wanted to make an infographic about it. I also took some time to share my personal story in a blog post.

Thank you to .ot for your support and guidance on this topic too!

This infographic was created based on the work of Chloe Muntefering, MS, OTR/L, Occupational Science PhD Candidate’s research dissertation.

The pdf includes:

💡 Inspiration of Chloe’s research
🏥 The need for change with the current model
🧍🏾‍♂️ How occupational therapy may be that solution
📚 Research overview
📌 Key takeaways
🚀 Future directions

This is great information to know for anyone interested in supporting occupational therapy incorporating more into primary care and can be used to advocate for that role with administration, policy makers, and the community.
