Quickly find updated articles related to cancer in order to advocate for interventions
Submitted by: Katie Caspero @katie
Setting of intended use: Acute care/inpatient, outpatient, and community-based therapy for individuals with cancer
What inspired this resource:
This resource was inspired by a need to quickly find updated articles related to cancer in order to advocate for interventions I was using. In addition, it was created to help find new interventions, assessments, background information, client perspectives, and systematic reviews that were clinically relevant, and ideally within the past 5 years, related to OT and cancer.
How is it utilized:
This short video describes a few ways it can be used including using this as a reference when an insurance company is asking for evidence during a peer review process or to advocate for implementing a new clinical guideline at your place of work based on the latest evidence.
What evidence supports it?
Each “bubble” contains a link to a research article.
Any instructions or tips for utilization:
Refer back to this evidence map when you are getting stuck during OT sessions when working with individuals with cancer and need some fresh, evidence-based ideas.
