Evidence-Based Practice What is evidence-based practice? § Occupational therapy personnel shall perform their duties on the basic of accurate and current information (AOTA, 1994, p. 1037). § Evidence-based practice of OT requires occupational therapists to justify why we do what we do in addition to how we do it to achieve positive patient’s outcomes. In addition, others can replicate our interventions and achieve similar outcomes (Holm, 2000). § Our Occupational Therapy Code of Ethics requires occupational therapist to commit to evidence-based practice because we are judged by our patients’ functional outcomes (Holm, 2000). Example of evidence-based practice by Dr. Margo Holm § Dr. Holm did a research on the effect of music to calm disruptive vocalizations (scream) of demented patients. § Research subjects were randomly assigned to group A with no intervention, group B with relaxed, classical music and group C with favorite music. § Subjects who exposed to classical or favorite music significantly decreased the number of screaming. § The finding supports music as a evidenced based method to calm demented patients in the least restrictive manner, compare to chemical restrain of using psychosis drug such as haloperidol (Casby & Holm, 1994)
