Intuition in Occupational Therapists' Clinical Reasoning: A Scoping Review.
OTJR (Thorofare N J)
December 2024
This scoping review aimed to map the various facets of intuition in occupational therapy (OT), from its definitions, theoretical frameworks, epistemological paradigms to practical applications, highlighting its role in decision-making. Following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, a systematic search of five databases from 1990 to August 2023 identified 337 records related to OT and intuition. After removing duplicates and applying eligibility criteria, 22 studies were included.

- The study investigates how occupational therapists (OTs) and physical therapists (PTs) adapt their evidence-based practice (EBP) skills during the first three years of their careers.
- Using semi-structured interviews with 17 clinicians, the research identified six main themes, including the evolving understanding of EBP and the role of patients and colleagues in decision making.
- The findings suggest that ongoing professional development and organizational support are critical for enhancing EBP effectiveness in rehabilitation settings.
Objective: To identify the extent of the literature on patient education for subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS).
Methods: A scoping review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA-ScR standards. Nine databases were searched until November 2022 to identify articles describing patient education interventions for the management of SAPS.
Rationale: Practice context is known to influence the deployment of competencies. The COVID-19 pandemic created a major disruption in many practice contexts. The objective was to understand the lived experience of rehabilitation clinicians during a major disruption of their practice context, namely, the COVID-19 pandemic.

We conducted a narrative review to advance understanding of how critical reflection develops, occurs in and impacts team-based practice and care.
Methods: We searched three databases (Medline, CINAHL and Scopus) for articles related to the concepts of critical reflection and/or critically reflective practice in the context of team-based health care and examined how teams engage with those theoretical concepts, to inform ideas for a new approach to support critically reflective practice.
