My occupation I have chosen to talk about is gym group in fieldwork one. In fieldwork one the client group was mental health and addiction and as a census they wanted a gym group as they could work out together as wegiht gain was a side effects of alot of medications. My superviser has set up the gym group prior to commencement of fieldwork one placement, but i want along two days a week and helped a new client feel comfortable with the equipment and other members of the group.
The term doing refers to engaging in a meaningful, goal
orientated occupation, being refers to taking time to reflect,
belonging means the feeling of having friends and social
interactions (Wilcock, A.A. 1998b).The gym group reflects
this in picture five as it is a heart with healthy food in it. Alot
Picture fourteen of the scales reflects both doing and being
as it is reflecting on the past as they were getting better
health and therefore decreasing medication yet one of the
goals was to lose weight which was put one due to

Hi Alsha
ReplyDeleteMy initial reaction was that I had stepped into a physiotherapy and dietetic domain. However reading the descriptions around doing, being belonging and becoming showed much of the occupational aspects that the general public may not to be aware of. It is similar to that "cup of tea" experience that occupational therapists value, as it generates so much more knowledge and understanding about a person's cognitive, social, functional abilities and culture. What do censys and effet mean?
Hi Hilary
DeleteYes when I first became part of the gym group I thought it was more the physiotherapist role however by the end of placement I could see the definite links to meaningful occupations for the participants around being part of a group, working out together and socialising with one another. Also those are spelling errors i will fix them now =)
