Outline

Text

Clinical issue/s: Clients with weaker self-efficacy and less satisfaction are more prone to avoiding an activity rather than finding ways to complete it, while those with stronger self-efficacy and satisfaction are more likely to engage in activities.

Clinical reasoning: Occupational -based practise in handtherapy within a biopsychosocial approach would have more satisfied clients than those practicing in more client factor-based handtherapy

Innovative, analytical or new approach: Regarding the trend for client factor-focused evaluation tools and intervention practice, the lack of occupational-based practise (and evaluation) might influence how the handtherapy interventions were designed.

Contribution to advancing HT practice: The focuse on occupational-based performance in both assesments and goals in handtherapy will produce a greater sense of self-efficacy and satisfaction in clients.
