Using an occupational experience approach in pain rehabilitation
Tuesday, September 3, 2019 from 4:00-5:00 p.m. (Eastern time)
Register by Monday, September 2, 2019
Presenter: Karen Atler
One in five Canadians live with pain, which impacts their engagement in everyday occupations and their well-being. With the emergence of a more prominent occupation perspective to pain, occupational therapy has a unique role in providing non-pharmacological services in pain rehabilitation.
The webinar will provide a brief overview of the distinct value of occupational therapy working with people in chronic pain, emphasizing the impact of pain on occupation, and the role of occupation to address pain. You will explore a time-use assessment used to gain insights into the meanings and values of everyday occupations with this population. Case examples will illustrate how to use the assessment and integrate perspectives gained from the assessment into interventions.
After taking part in this webinar, you will be able to:
- Describe the distinct value of occupational therapy in pain rehabilitation.
- Appreciate the importance of occupation-focused assessment as a means to uncover everyday experiences and meanings.
- Begin to interpret and use time-use data to empower people with chronic pain to begin to make small changes in their everyday occupations.
