[Interprofessional Collaboration as a Modality to Resolve Therapeutic Impasses in Child Psychiatry: A Review].

Child and adolescent intervention in child psychiatric clinics generates a high risk of therapeutic impasses for clinicians. Among the factors that contribute to this situation are the increasing severity of the problems of young people who are referred to psychiatric clinics and the obligation for professionals to collaborate with various actors surrounding the patient. This literature review explores the possibility that an intervention targeting indicators of interprofessional collaboration can help resolved the therapeutic impasses encountered by professionals working in child psychiatry.

Effectiveness of past and current critical incident analysis on reflective learning and practice change.

Objectives: Critical incident analysis (CIA) is one of the strategies frequently used to facilitate reflective learning. It involves the thorough description and analysis of an authentic and experienced event within its specific context. However, CIA has also been described as having the potential to expose vulnerabilities, threaten learners' coping mechanisms and increase rather than reduce their anxiety levels.

Empowering occupational therapists to become evidence-based work rehabilitation practitioners.

Objective: Occupational therapists (OTs) engage in continuing education to integrate best available knowledge and skills into their practice. However, many barriers influence the degree to which they are currently able to integrate research evidence into their clinical decision making process. The specific objectives were to explore the clinical decision-making processes they used, and to describe the empowerment process they developed to become evidence-based practitioners.

Using reflective learning to improve the impact of continuing education in the context of work rehabilitation.

Reflective learning has been described as a promising approach for ameliorating the impact of continuing education (CE) programs. However, there are still very few studies that have investigated how occupational therapists use reflection to improve the integration of CE program content in their decision-making processes. The study objectives were to describe how these professionals, working in the sector of work rehabilitation, used reflective learning to integrate research evidence into their clinical decision-making process and to identify the factors that influenced the reflective learning process.
