Abstract:
Introduction In occupational therapy, there has been an increased interest in patients’ occupational participation within forensic settings. This retrospective study involved a longitudinal analysis of occupational participation within six forensic hospitals in England. The aim was to contribute to the understanding of forensic patients’ occupational participation over a two-year period. Methods The Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST) was rated by 78 occupational therapists on 489 patients in low and medium secure units who were receiving occupational therapy over two years. The many-faceted Rasch Model was used to convert their MOHOST scores at each time point into interval scales. Regression analysis was used to examine changes in occupational participation over time. Results Patients’ overall occupational participation improved over time. Specifically, participation improved in five of the six MOHOST subdomains, which included their motivation for occupation, pattern of occupation, communication/interaction skills, process skills, and environment. Patients did not demonstrate significant change in their motor skills, which varied as expected. In addition, patients in low secure units had better occupational participation than those in medium secure settings. Conclusion Our findings indicated improvements in the patients’ occupational participation over the 2-year period. Further investigations are needed to understand factors contributing to change.

Abstract:
Having a productive occupation is seen as fundamental to an individual's health and wellbeing. Employment provides structure, self-identity, a means to provide for oneself and social inclusion. The Government has made a commitment to invest in supporting people back into the workplace following illness. This opinion piece reflects the authors' interest in how this applies to service users with a forensic history, who face additional barriers to employment. It calls on occupational therapists to share research and practice accounts of vocational rehabilitation within forensic settings in order to contribute to the evidence base for this area of occupational therapy practice.

Abstract:
Research investigating occupational experience among people with mental illness has highlighted their difficulties in selecting, organising, valuing, enjoying and competently performing occupations. Although occupational therapy literature consistently identifies environmental factors as key in facilitating successful and valued engagement, few authors have studied the implications of detention in secure mental health settings for this population. This study investigated the occupational experiences of five people with schizophrenia in two forensic regional secure units. Quantitative and qualitative methodologies were used, with semi-structured interviews adding depth and subjectivity to Occupational Questionnaire (Smith et al 1986) responses. The quantitative data were analysed using non-parametric analysis, with content analysis applied to the qualitative data. Time-use was characterised predominantly by engagement in passive leisure and rest occupations. This reflects the findings of both inpatient and community-based studies elsewhere and suggests that mental illness is a common factor influencing time-use. The participants chose occupations based on expectations of enjoyment and success, and associations with independence and normality. Significant correlations were found between perceived competence, value and enjoyment (p<0.01), and the participants were more likely to enjoy self-chosen occupations (p<0.05). Forensic occupational therapists must use evidence to optimise resources and deliver interventions that facilitate choice and autonomy and reflect individual needs. Further research with larger samples and longitudinal methodologies will facilitate generalisation and establish temporal perspectives.

Abstract:
National research priorities have been developed and published by the College of Occupational Therapists (Ilott and White 2001). Such an exercise, however, cannot provide the specific research priorities of a particular area of practice. A questionnaire survey was undertaken to ascertain the specific research priorities of forensic occupational therapists. The survey had three parts: determining research priorities, examining outcome measures and exploring the use of protocol-driven group work. Three specific research priorities were clearly defined by part one of the survey: the development of appropriate outcome measures, the development of rigorous and effective group-work programmes and the development of effective risk assessment tools. The nominal group technique was used in order to triangulate the data. The survey also examined the participants' use of outcome measures: a high number of the participants (62%, 44/71) stated that they used outcome measures in practice. The participants' responses to the third aspect of the survey, regarding the use of protocol-driven groups, were more varied. The majority of the groups reported by the participants were ‘home grown’, with little research base underpinning their implementation. The methodological weaknesses of undertaking such a survey are examined. The paper concludes that having identified clinicians' priorities in forensic occupational therapy research, the challenge is how best to gather robust evidence for practice.

Abstract:
Syftet med studien var att beskriva upplevelser av delaktighet i meningsfulla aktiviteter för personer som vårdas inom rättspsykiatrisk vård. För att besvara syftet valdes en empirisk kvalitativ design, vilket är lämpad då det handlar om att beskriva personers olika upplevelser av en situation. Data samlades in genom nio semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer som vårdas inom rättspsykiatrisk vård. Dessa analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Analysen resulterade i ett övergripande tema; Att balansera nuet och det tidigare livet samt tre kategorier; Att förhålla sig till vardagen och den vårdkontext som finns. En saknad av vardagen och livet utanför. En önskan om att kunna välja aktiviteter som upplevs meningsfulla. Resultatet visade att deltagarna genomgår stora förändringar när det gäller tidigare intressen, vanor och roller på grund av de begränsningar den rättspsykiatriska miljön innebär samt att saknaden efter friheten är stor. Slutsatser som kan dras utifrån studiens resultat är att personer som vårdas inom rättspsykiatrisk vård är i behov av trygghet och gemenskap samt att aktiviteter utförs dels för att de upplevs meningsfulla men framförallt för att få tiden att gå. I denna begränsade miljö kan arbetsterapi spela en viktig roll för att skapa förutsättningar till att uppleva delaktighet i meningsfulla aktiviteter.

Abstract:
My research explored the knowledge of occupational therapists practising in forensic mental health. There is no ‘gold standard’ evidence in this practice area but other forms of evidence, including experience and “intuition”, are used in practice. My research aimed to identify the knowledge formed from and used in this practice area. My research design used qualitative methodology that was informed by American pragmatist, social constructivist and post-modern theory. In particular, I used grounded theory and situational analysis to generate and to analyse the data. The practitioners were three occupational therapists working in various forensic services in one London based NHS trust. My data was generated longitudinally over eight to twelve months, where the practitioners participated in email and face-to-face interviews. The critical incident technique and the critical decision method enabled practitioners to describe and explain their knowledge about one patient with whom they were working over the interviews. The practitioners also reflected upon participating in the research. My findings demonstrated that the practitioners’ knowledge was created from practice through the interaction of three categories. First, steps of practice were structures through which knowledge was generated about the service user. Second were rules for practice where expectations had to be met. Unpredictable situations and knowledge gaps prevented meeting expectations, so new knowledge was created from practice to meet them. The third category was a blend of the practitioners’ personal and professional experiences and emotions. Practitioners created a connection with service users in order to build a therapeutic relationship, alongside creating a nuanced narrative with their service users, which helped to build empathy. In conclusion, the practitioners in my research used various forms of knowledge in practice. My thesis contributes to existing scholarship by supporting a practice epistemology approach. Thus knowledge for occupational therapy in forensic mental health is created from practice.

Full text
Abstract:

The major aim was to explore perceived daily occupations in mentally disordered offenders (MDO) through occupational performance (OP) and social participation (SP) with descriptive, comparative and longitudinal designs. The 74 consecutively included MDOs were visited onsite for data collection. The following assessments were used: Capability to Perform Daily Occupation, Self-efficacy Scale, Importance scale, Allen Cognitive Level Screen, Interview Schedule for Social Interaction, Manchester Short Assessment of Quality of Life, Psycho/social and Environmental Problems, Global Assessment of Functioning Scale, assessment of Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments and Karolinska Scales of Personality. Background factors were assembled from the individual forensic psychiatric investigation. The results indicate that MDOs had contradictive problems in OP, SP and lack of disability awareness. The MDOs and professionals had different appraisals of the MDOs’ OP and SP. Schizophrenic MDOs need substantial support for community dwelling. MDOs with psychopathic personality traits had more problems during upbringing, however, no perceived problems in OP and SP compared to the remaining group. Low Socialization, high Anxiety and psychopathy personality traits partially influenced perceived OP and SP. After one year of forensic psychiatric care, 60 % were still hospitalized and 32 % were community dwelling. Changes after one year of care consisted of higher satisfaction of OP and SP, 1/36 subject valued daily occupations higher and 5/36 subjects reported better social interaction. Although, there are some methodological weaknesses in this thesis (e.g. high attrition rate), the unique results should be taken into consideration. It is concluded that MDOs’ appraisal of their own capability has to be taken seriously in treatment and care. Also long treatment periods, targeting daily occupations from start and providing substantial individual support are necessary for successful transition into community dwelling for MDOs. This thesis contributes to extended knowledge of the MDOs’ daily occupations.

Abstract:
Studiens syfte var att undersöka arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att arbeta med individer som har schizofreni inom rättspsykiatrisk slutenvård. Författarna valde en kvalitativmetod och utförde åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer med arbetsterapeuter som arbetade i södra, mellersta, och norra Sverige inom rättspsykiatrisk slutenvård. Efter intervjuerna transkriberades data som sedan analyserades utefter en kvalitativ innehållsanalys, vilket resulterade i fyra huvudkategorier och fyra underkategorier; Arbetsterapeutisk utredning och bedömning samt användning av bedömningsinstrument med patienter som har schizofreni; Faktorer och riktlinjer som påverkar utredningsarbetet och Bedömning och evidensbaserade bedömningsinstrument inom slutenvården, Styrd av säkerhet och restriktioner i en strukturerad miljö; Restriktionernas inverkan på förskrivning av hjälpmedel  och Möjligheter och utmaningar att arbeta  inom en konstlad miljö, Möjligheter att arbeta med aktivitet och färdigheter med patienter som har schizofreni och Arbetet med motivation, initiativförmågan samt aktivitetsförmåga för att öka delaktighet. Resultatet visade arbetsterapeuters erfarenheter av att arbeta inom en miljö anpassad efter säkerhet och restriktioner med individer som har diagnosen schizofreni. Studien visar betydelsen av arbetsterapeutisk kompetens i arbetet med patienter som har diagnosen schizofreni för att möjliggöra delaktighet samt självständighet trots miljöns inverkan. Det behövs mer forskning om hur arbetsterapeutisk kompetens och bedömningsinstrument bör anpassas utefter en strukturerad och styrd miljö för att möjliggöra en mer kvalitetssäkrad rehabiliterande vård för patienter som har schizofreni inom rättspsykiatrisk slutenvård.
The aim of the study was to explore occupational therapists experience of working with individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia in forensic psychiatric inpatient care. The authors chose a qualitative methodology and conducted eight semi-structured interviews with occupational therapists who worked in forensic psychiatry in south, middle and north of Sweden. The collected data was transcribed and analyzed according to a qualitative analysis method which resulted in four categories and four subcategories;  Occupational evaluation, assessments and the use of assessment instruments with patients with schizophrenia; Impacts of factors and guidelines on evaluation work and Assessments and evidence based assessment instruments in inpatient care, Security and restriction guidelines in a structured environment; Impacts of restriction on prescribing aids and Opportunities and challenges to work in a constrained environment, Opportunities to work with activity and skills with patients with schizophrenia and Work with motivation, initiative and activity to increase participation. The result showed occupational therapists' experience of working in an environment adapted to safety and restrictions with individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia. The study shows the importance of occupational therapy competence in working with patients who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia to enable participation and independence despite the impact of the environment. More research is required on how occupational therapeutic skills and assessment tools should be adapted to a structured and controlled environment to enable more quality-assured rehabilitative care for patients who have schizophrenia in forensic psychiatric care.

Abstract:
The consultation liaison psychiatrist frequently encounters questions of decision-making capacity for hospitalized geriatric patients. This trend will only continue as the population ages and questions about the ability of aging patients to make medical decisions and broader life decisions arise more and more frequently. Consultation liaison psychiatrists tasked with determining these capacities may be faced with a duality of roles: responsibility to the patient but also protective obligations imposed by laws and regulations. Consultation liaison psychiatrists should engage these evaluations carefully and be forthright with patients. An approach focusing on the nature and cause of incapacity, the potential for reversibility of incapacity, adequately informing the patient, relying on colleagues in occupational and physical therapy as well as speech and language pathology for functional assessment, and understanding the patient’s life history and story can lead to results respectful of both the patient’s well-being and dignity. This chapter presents forensic issues relevant to the geriatric psychiatry consultation-liaison service through an illustrative clinical vignette.
