European Year 2014
fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
Reconciling work and family life
“Good work-life balance promotes the well-being of
workers. It can also contribute to achieving major EU policy
goals: stimulating employment (especially among
women and older workers); promoting child and youth
development; and encouraging gender equality.”

Year of the Brain
“(…) the national wealth is the brain health.
We want to encourage the youth, who are our future, to
develop their brains, nurture their brains and above all
protect their brains. (…)
We would like to see childhood brain diseases receive
more attention than that received at the moment.
(…) neuropediatric illnesses benefit from very little
research and funding. “

Public Health Context

http://www.europeanbraincouncil.org/
• need of effective care and therapies
• providing a standard of health care that enables people
to lead a good life
“Brain diseases (…) cause terrible distress if poorly
managed, and can represent a considerable and
expensive burden for the health care systems.“ (Baker, 2013)
Reconsidering OT‘s potential
fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
„Is occupational therapy a sufficiently vital and
unique service for medicine to support and society
to reward?“
„A critical appraisal of the essential worth of
occupational therapy“

Occupation

„(…) includes all the things that people do, the
relationship of what they do with who they
are as humans and that through occupation
they are in constant state of becoming
different“

Inspiration & Questions
fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
• What is meaningful?
• What „happens“ during a treatment/ assessment/
consultation/evaluation session?
• What is really helpful for the people we work with?
• (Who defines this?)
• (Why) is it worth that they/we make all the efforts to come to
get/offer OT?

fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
• Human occupation & health: concepts from occupational
science, occupational therapy and other disciplines
• Freedom and Occupation (Costa, 2013)
• OT and the Capability Approach (A. Sen) (Costa, 2013)
• Resilience and Unemployment (Costa, 2011b)
• Current best practice in OT – KRAH® (Costa, 2011a)
• Effects of meaningful occupation as therapeutic means and
aim on health and well-being in daily life as perceived by
clients and professionals
Aim of the Study
fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
To explore the effects of meaningful occupation
as provided through client-centred, resource-,
occupation- and day-to-day-oriented/ -relevant
occupational therapy (KRAH®) on children’s
health (ICF-CY*)) as perceived by children,
parents, teachers and occupational therapists.

What mattered for this study
fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
• participation of children, caregivers, and fieldwork
educators in therapeutic and research process
• perspectives of clients / participants (Wright, 2010)
• to give children a voice (UN, 1998)
• to understand reasons for clients‘ goals
• to explore effects of meaningful occupation on health as
perceived by clients and their proxies
Meaningful Occupation
fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
what makes sense and matters to me
exciting
enjoyable
interesting
relevant & important for everyday life
adequate for the current developmental themes
in line with the set of values of the child‘s family and the
sociocultural context
promoting healthy child development
potentially fulfilling
Children‘s views & focus group discussions (Costa, 2009; 2014)
KRAH®

• client-centredness (Klientenzentrierung)
• recource-orientation (Ressourcenorientierung)
• orientation and relevance to daily life
(Alltagsorientierung und Alltagsrelevanz)
• orientation to meaningful occupation / occupation& participation-based (Handlungsorientierung)

•
•
clients are active participants/partners
telling their stories
sharing their perception of competences
hopes, dreams, priorities,…
• client, relatives, others involved.
• communities
• stakeholders
• WHO is the client? „Clarifying who wants what“
KRAH® Resource Orientation

fh gesundheit – university of applied health sciences tyrol
• offering and supporting a social environment:
encouragement, recognition, appreciation, valuing
perspectives and experiences, understanding, attention,
supporting as a professional in a respectful partnership
• opening achievable perspectives which are „worth to
engage for“ / have or bring meaning (daily life & life
course)
• pacing and adapting activities (activity analysis)
• listening to „what they really want“
• taking and investing time to gather different and shared
perspectives, concerns, goals & clarify what matters
(„needs assessment“)
• Working with clients in and with their context
