Occupational therapy in psychiatry

Uvod. Radna terapija je jedina profesija koja ljudima kroz životni ciklus pomaže da rade ono što žele i trebaju kroz terapijsko korištenje svakodnevnih aktivnosti (zanimanja). Postupci. Podatci za ovaj diplomski rad prikupljeni su pregledom tiskanih izdanja knjiga, internetskih izvora stručnih baza podataka poput Hrčak Portala hrvatskih znanstvenih i stručnih časopisa, PubMed-a te Svjetske zdravstvene organizacije. Svi su navedeni podatci publicirani između 1990. i 2019. godine na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku. Prikaz teme. Radna terapija ima ključnu ulogu u procjeni i liječenju mentalnih bolesti korištenjem aktivnosti, Međutim, pružanje radne terapije nije dosljedno. Neke službe imaju namjenske radne terapeute, druge imaju radne terapeute koji rade u generičkim ulogama, a neke uopće nemaju radnu terapiju. Radna terapija je široko cijenjena, ali je ne razumiju dobro menadžeri na strateškoj razini, koji premalo koriste profesionalnu ulogu u svom kliničkom okruženju. Radna terapija ima brojne prednosti kada se koristi za intervencije i liječenje mentalnih bolesti i kognitivnih poremećaja. Prema Američkom udruženju za radnu terapiju, radna terapija imala je mnogo pozitivnih ishoda za osobe s mentalnim bolestima u raznim područjima, poput obrazovanja, radnog mjesta, zdravlja i dobrobiti te razvoja vještina. Zaključak. Upotreba radne terapije zajedno s planovima primarnog liječenja za pacijente s mentalnim bolestima (poput lijekova ili bihevioralne terapije) može imati mnogo trajnih blagodati.OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY IN PSYCHIATRY Introduction. Occupational therapy is the only profession that helps people throughout their life cycle to do what they want and need through the therapeutic use of daily activities (occupations). Procedures. Data for this thesis were collected by reviewing printed editions of books, online sources of professional databases such as the Hrčak Portal of Croatian scientific and professional journals, PubMed and the World Health Organization. All these data were published between 2011 and 2021 in Croatian and English. View topic. Occupational therapy plays a key role in the assessment and treatment of mental illness using activities, however, the provision of occupational therapy is not consistent. Some services have dedicated occupational therapists, others have occupational therapists working in generic roles, and some have no occupational therapy at all. Occupational therapy is widely valued, but it is not well understood by managers at the strategic level, who make too little use of the professional role in their clinical environment. Occupational therapy has a number of benefits when used to intervene and treat mental illness and cognitive disorders. According to the American Association for Occupational Therapy, occupational therapy has had many positive outcomes for people with mental illness in a variety of areas, such as education, workplace, health and well-being, and skills development. Conclusion. The use of occupational therapy along with primary care plans for patients with mental illness (such as medication or behavioral therapy) can have many lasting benefits
