Authors:Alex Heaps Abstract: British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Ahead of Print. Background:Occupational therapists (OT) are commonly tasked with assessing the functional impact of an executive dysfunctional following a brain injury. Research has highlighted uncertainty in the literature regarding how this phenomenon is understood in occupational therapy.Purpose:To explore the conceptual understanding of executive function in OT literature and how this influences the professions approach to assessment.Method:An integrative review of 13 studies was completed using thematic analysis to generate themes in the literature.Results:Four themes were generated: (1) There is inconsistency in our working definition of executive functions (EF) and what constitutes a component (2) EF is conceptualised in singular complex tasks in the OT literature, (3) There is uncertainty on the accuracy of assessing EF performance in one-off tasks (4) There is uncertainty about what constitutes normal EF performance in an occupation.Conclusions:This integrative review identifies challenges in the conceptualisation and assessment of executive functions within OT. Inconsistent definitions, reliance on neuropsychological frameworks and standardised assessments, such as the multiple-errands test and executive function performance test, fail to capture the complex and individualised nature of occupational performance. The limited integration of occupational science further hampers the development of OT-specific approaches. Clearer definitions and qualitative research would enable advancements in practice and enhance client-centred interventions.

Authors:Pamela Fitzpatrick, Rosalind Bye, Clyde Eriksson, Karen PY Liu, David Lim; Rosalind Bye, Clyde Eriksson, Karen PY Liu, David Lim Abstract: British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Ahead of Print. Introduction:The recent UK Royal College of Occupational Therapists survey found a significant proportion of respondents expressed an intention to leave the profession despite the majority agreeing that occupational therapy is a rewarding career. This scoping review aimed to synthesize the literature on enablers and barriers to career planning and development for occupational therapists working in mental health.Methods:We searched Embase, CINAHL, Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, TROVE, Research Direct and websites of relevant professional organizations.Results:Twenty-six papers were included. Most of the articles were set exclusively in Australia and can be categorized into: career planning and development, workforce planning, onboarding, recruitment and retention. Resource shortages, gender, age, unmet expectations, organizational demands and the lack of a career pathway framework were identified as barriers. Enablers of career success include undergraduate mental health practice placements, early career programmes, personal motivation, greater flexibility, professional resilience, leadership training and research opportunities.Conclusion:A better understanding of the factors that influence career development can facilitate focused recruitment and help retention.
