*Le français suit*Have you ever heard the acronyms Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADLs) or Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs)? What are they and why do they matter?Basic Activities of Daily Living include tasks that are required to care for someone’s basic needs. These include activities such as eating, bathing, toileting, dressing, grooming and mobility. Instrumental Activities of Daily Living include tasks that are more complex and require more thought/planning to care for someone and their home. This includes meal preparation, cooking, shopping, cleaning, transportation, finances and medication management.If someone has an injury or is aging at home, they might need a little more help with some of these tasks to remain independent. Occupational therapists can make recommendations to help you or your loved one participate in all of these activities of daily living, whether that’s by recommending tools, strategies or extra assistance!———————–Avez-vous déjà entendu les acronymes AVQ ou AVD ? Qu’est-ce que c’est et pourquoi est-ce important ? Les activités de la vie quotidienne (AVQ) incluent les tâches nécessaires pour répondre aux besoins fondamentaux d’une personne. Il s’agit d’activités telles que manger, se laver, utiliser les toilettes, s’habiller, faire sa toilette et se déplacer. Les activités de la vie domestique (AVD) incluent les tâches plus complexes qui nécessitent plus de réflexion et de planification pour s’occuper d’une personne et de son domicile. Elles comprennent la préparation des repas, la cuisine, les courses, le nettoyage, le transport, les finances et la gestion des médicaments. Si une personne est blessée ou vieillit au domicile, elle peut avoir besoin d’un peu plus d’aide pour certaines de ces tâches afin de rester indépendante. Les ergothérapeutes peuvent faire des recommandations pour vous aider, vous ou vos proches, à participer à toutes ces activités de la vie quotidienne, que ce soit en recommandant des outils, des stratégies ou une aide supplémentaire! … See MoreSee Less

*Le français suit*Did you know that in many communities, occupational therapists are an integral part of interdisciplinary primary health care teams? In the past, primary health care has consisted of physicians and nurse practitioners, but the many benefits that OTs offer has since come to the forefront. OTs can help support physicians/nurse practitioners by using a health promotion lens to improve functional participation.OTs can provide practical solutions to common health concerns of New Brunswickers – such as safety at home (like recommending the right equipment for the bathroom or to prevent falls), aging in place (from tips for home modifications) and chronic conditions (like managing at home with arthritis). OTs can help make the health care system more efficient and effective by providing valuable information to the physician/nurse practitioner. They can also help promote self-management of chronic conditions, identify early care needs, support mental health care and encourage healthy lifestyles! Have you had an occupational therapist on your primary health care team?Check out the scoping review below to learn more about OTs working in primary health care! doi.org/10.1017%2FS1463423622000123———————–Saviez-vous que dans de nombreuses communautés, les ergothérapeutes font partie intégrante des équipes interdisciplinaires de soins de santé primaires ? Dans le passé, les soins de santé primaires étaient dispensés par des médecins et des infirmières praticiennes, mais les nombreux avantages offerts par les ergothérapeutes sont maintenant au premier plan. Les ergothérapeutes peuvent aider les médecins et les infirmières praticiennes en utilisant une optique de promotion de la santé pour améliorer le fonctionnement et la participation à des activités quotidiennes. Les ergothérapeutes peuvent apporter des solutions pratiques aux problèmes de santé courants des Néo-Brunswickois, comme la sécurité à domicile (en recommandant le bon équipement pour la salle de bain ou pour prévenir les chutes), le vieillissement chez soi (en donnant des conseils sur les modifications à apporter au domicile) et les maladies chroniques (comme la prise en charge de l’arthrite à domicile). Les ergothérapeutes peuvent contribuer à rendre le système de soins de santé plus efficace et efficient en fournissant des informations précieuses au médecin ou à l’infirmière praticienne. Ils peuvent également promouvoir l’autogestion des maladies chroniques, identifier les besoins de soins précoces, soutenir les soins de santé mentale et encourager des modes de vie plus sains ! Avez-vous eu un ergothérapeute dans votre équipe de soins de santé primaires ?
