Week 3: Group Planning Flashcards
(38 cards)
What are 5 considerations to make when group planning ?
- Structure
- Goals
- Assessment (needs and gathering info)
- Frames of Reference
- Evidence
Why are frames of reference important in group planning?
- narrow down the issue(s) you will focus on
- identifies which members will benefit most or least from participation
- suggests a leadership style
- determines your approach
What are the 6 steps to the reasoning process?
- gathering info about the clients
- choose frame of reference
- develop the protocol
- plan sessions
- implement the group
- evaluate group process and outcomes (was it successful?)
What is the group evaluation plan?
to see if you know if your group was successful and met their goals both as group and individually
What are some things that make an excellent OT group protocol?
- creative
- occupation-focused
- appropriate for OT running a group to deliver
- evidence-based
- uses supportive literature
- theoretically consistent
- client-centred/relationship focused
- goal-directed
- outlines group structure, content, and process
- Explains expected leader/leadership styles and roles
11.Explains members roles and behaviours - interaction b/w members and members + leaders
- plans for evaluation
- uses group setting to achieve something greater than 1:1 therapy could
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are the 7 phases within the design process for group protocol?
- motivation
- investigation
- definition
- ideation
- idea selection
- implementation
- evaluation
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what is the “motivation stage” within the design process for group protocol?
- recognize probelm and need for change
- “comvergent phase” –> narrow scope of problems to client’s needs
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what is the “investigation stage” within the design process for group protocol?
- looking for ideas in different resources ad through discussion
- “divergent phase”
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what is the “definition stage” within the design process for group protocol?
- clustering ideas and comparing them with motivation
- summarize the issue into a few words and establish the criteria of activities to reach goal
- “exploratory stage”
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what is the “ideation stage” within the design process for group protocol?
- Ideas gathered using the criteria in brainstorming matter but armed with the resources from the investigation phase
- divergent phase
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what is the “idea selection stage” within the design process for group protocol?
“decision stage”
- chose idea (might make pros and cons list to help)
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what is the “implementation stage” within the design process for group protocol?
Actually putting the activity into place (set the date, preform all task in preparation, and actually doing it)
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what is the “evaluation stage” within the design process for group protocol?
Reflection on the outcome and the previous phases of the process (group discussion, self-reflection, etc.)
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are the 6 categories related to human occupations for intervention?
- occupations (ADLs, IADLS, rest, sleep, education, work, play, leisure, social participation)
- performance skills (sensory/perceptual, cognitive, motor, emotional, regulation, communication/interaction)
- performance patterns (routines, habits, roles, and rituals)
- seven contexts (cultural, physical, social, personal, spiritual, temporal, and virutal)
- activity demands
- client factors (body functions, body structures, values, beliefs, and spirituality)
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are the 5 intervention approaches?
- create, promote (health promotion)
- establish, restore (remediation, restoration)
- maintain
- modify (compensation, adaptation)
- prevent (disability prevention)
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are the 2 levels of group documentation?
- Narrative notes
- SOAP notes
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are narrative notes for documentation?
- Refer back to the overall group intervention plan and short term goals
- Comments on each member (individual behaviour, participation level, level and content of interaction with others, changes from previous groups)
- form of documentation that uses a written description to detail a series of events, often presented in a chronological order like a story
A narrative note focusing on whole group may include
- Group activity
- Goals and whether accomplished
- Clients in attendance
- Summary of group experience and what has changed from previous groups
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are SOAP notes for documentation?
S = subjective (client’s chief complaint or problem statement
O = objective (professional’s observations, problem definitions, and goals)
A = Assessment (professional’s assessment of the problems being addressed)
P = Plan (intervention, in this case the therapeutic group experience)
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are are two ways of writing occupational goals?
- SMART
- COAST
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are SMART goals
Specific
Measureable
Acheiveable
Relevant
TIme-bound
In Cole (2018) “Group Dynamics in OT - Chapter 11”, what are COAST format for goals?
C = client (what the client will do)
O – occupation (the occupation to which the goal pertains)
A – assist level
S – specific conditons
T - timeline
In O’Brien & Solomon (2022) “Occuaptional Analysis and group process” chapter 5, what are the 3 methods of instruction used for teaching?
- direct
- indirect
- eclectic
In O’Brien & Solomon (2022) “Occuaptional Analysis and group process” chapter 5, what is the “direct” method of instruction used for teaching?
- formal
- environment is structured for instruction
- learner is expected to pay attention
- teacher is responsible for activities and progress of group and analyzes/responds to student’s behaviour
In O’Brien & Solomon (2022) “Occuaptional Analysis and group process” chapter 5, what is the “indirect” method of instruction used for teaching?
- informal
- environment allows learner to make choices
- encourages self-initiation and expression (client’s feel empowered!)
- teacher cares for and respects students
