Alternatively: http://www.otseeker.com/ an excellent resource for those with an ebp inclination. Suggest you also check out the powerpoint pres. EBP tends to place qual studies lower as it arises from science (double blind studies are the gold standard, almost impossible to do in OT due to multitude of variables); but they certainly have their place, particularly in triangulating and giving broad direction to research questions.
My opinion is that qual studies are within the scope of most people as they are often born of reflection on practice - and reflective practice is, again in my opinion, essential to an OTs long-term survival in the system. Interested in what others have to say on this. cheers, David Harraway Occupational Therapist Melbourne Australia Ron Carson wrote: > Try: > > www.cochrane.org > > Ron > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Paul Middleton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2008 > To: OTlist <[email protected]> > Subj: [OTlist] Qualitative research > > > > > > PM> Hi Could any body point me in the direction of qualitative > PM> primary study regarding (CAN GROUP EXERCISE/ACTIVITY IMPROVE > PM> MENTAL HEALTH IN PEOPLE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS) > > PM> I am a mere student of mature years and have found it very > PM> difficult to find research on this subject especially from OT.
