Content Review

Background: The provision of end-of-life care is receiving attention locally, provincially, and nationally in Canada. It is important to ensure that interprofessional standards and competencies are in place to provide quality end-of-life care that meets the needs of patients and their families. The purpose of this content review was to identify core standards and competencies essential to an interprofessional team providing end-of-life care. Methods: The researchers conducted a review of health professional associations and registration bodies that support professionals providing end-of-life care to identify existing standards and competencies. Key concepts were reviewed and organized using thematic analysis; relationships were developed; and core themes for interprofessional end-of-life care were identified. Results: Four themes essential to the provision of end-of-life care were common across all health professions: (1) access to care, (2) professional practice, (3) person-centered care, and (4) the process and delivery of care. Conclusions: Health professional associations need to ensure end-of-life care standards and competencies are in place for the provision of appropriate and holistic care. Aligning standards and competencies across professions improves the preparedness of health professionals to provide interprofessional end-of-life care.

Medical Perspective

Abstract The role of the Approved Mental Health Professional (AMHP) in England and Wales was intended to provide a social perspective as a ‘counterweight’ to a medical perspective when compulsory detention to psychiatric care is being considered as part of an assessment under the 1983 Mental Health Act (MHA). However, with few exceptions, there is relatively little written about AMHPs’ understandings of a social perspective and their experiences of applying this in practice. This article will discuss the findings of a small-scale qualitative study involving twelve AMHPs, highlighting the different accounts of how social perspectives may be understood and implemented. Some of the tensions that may arise when undertaking MHA assessments and the challenges of implementing a social perspective in practice will be considered. The conclusion will recognise the complexity of AMHP practice and the diverse ways in which AMHPs attempt to apply a social perspective. It is clear, however, that an understanding of social perspectives is firmly embedded in the practice of the AMHPs involved in this study.

This study shows how the organization of occupational therapy determines occupational therapists' potential and limits for enabling the empowerment of adults who attend mental health day programmes. Drawing from the full ethnography, this paper shows how the organization of practice determines invisibly whether occupational therapists are more likely to involve people in simulations or in the real occupations of their everyday world. The study explores the use of simulations versus real occupations by tracing everyday practice to the locations, facilities, and scheduling context in which practice occurs. Practice is further traced to the philosophic and funding context of programmes. The final part of the analysis outlines how the use of simulations versus real occupations is shaped by particular ideas about mental health, professional practice, health services, welfare, and the market place. The analysis of an institutional ethnography offers a blueprint for change.
