Hi all, Thankyou all for very interesting topics throughout this list. I have been both entertained and informed about OT life in other parts of the world. I'm in my final year of occ sci and occ therapy in Australia, and am currently doing my honours project this year. My topic is all about investigating the meanings derived from engaging in leisure occupations by ageing community members of a particular ethnic minority group in Australia. With this theme, what are you beliefs of how effective the occupational therapy profession and practitioners address leisure in practice and research; e.g. as compared to self-care, productivity etc. From my practical experience during my studies (especially in acute settings), i believe that leisure is not being addressed to the depth that it should be with ageing clients, especially from culturally diverse backgrounds. My research aims to improve this problem.
It would be nice to hear your perspectives on this issue from an international point of view. Regards, Robert Pereira -- Unsubscribe? [EMAIL PROTECTED] Change options? www.otnow.com/mailman/options/otlist_otnow.com Archive? www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] Help? [EMAIL PROTECTED]
