Authors: Chang Megan C. , Hagen Sarah , Geneza Stephanie , Ibay Maiko , Karburn Megan , Kautz Alexandra , Lau Elaine
Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Results showed that about 70% of the students had some stress management strategies. However, 19% of them experienced toxic levels of stress, 33% of them used negative appraisal for coping, and one-third of them showed clinically significant anxiety and depression, resulting in negative impact on occupational engagement. OT students may benefit from learning different types of coping strategies that promote development of resilience to better manage stress and reduce mental illness.

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Roger's Diffusion of Innovation Theory was used to examine the extent to which practitioners have adopted use of constraint-induced or modified constraint-induced movement therapy, both well supported by research, into neurorehabilitation practice. Although perceived effective, few use it even with eligible clients. Findings of this study provide insight into strategies that may increase consumer access to evidence-based practice to improve occupational performance and participation after stroke.

Need for a Standard Approach to Service Delivery and Educational Opportunities in Pediatric Cancer Rehabilitation

Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

Rehabilitation practitioners (N = 98) indicate it is very important to have specialized therapists and programs for pediatric cancer rehabilitation, yet only 39% of hospitals have a specialized program. Therapists rarely receive education during academic or clinical training on working with children with cancer, resulting in a lack of consistency in services provided across institutions. A pediatric cancer rehabilitation certification program can help promote an evidence-based standard of care.

Coaching models are considered best practice when providing services in early intervention (EI) programs. Although coaching is considered best practice, no true pragmatic definition exists to aid practitioners in implementation. Core constructs of OT align well with the principles of caregiver coaching to create interventions maximizing participation. This scoping review explored the conceptual and practice definitions of caregiver coaching in EI and the use of this model in OT intervention.

Group interventions have been shown to improve soft skills, a common barrier to employment for individuals with autism. Although telehealth shows promise as a service delivery method, published research on telehealth soft-skills interventions for this population is lacking. Thus, this study explored differences between face-to-face and hybrid delivery of a group soft-skills intervention for young adults with autism.

Uncertain poststroke prognosis makes it difficult for OTs to develop personalized treatments for their patients. This study evaluated electroencephalography (EEG) as a predictor of individual response to a rehabilitation program. Results demonstrate the potential for EEG to predict patients’ responsiveness to an upper extremity intervention. These findings may promote individualized treatment and encourage a larger follow-up study.

Published: August 2021

Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations.

The PRESS to Function Approach is designed to provide a systematic method of evaluating upper extremity function of musculoskeletal disorders. It is based on six constructs: pain, range of motion, edema, strength, sensibility, and functional ability. The approach avoids rendering incomplete hand and upper extremity evaluations and reassessments. The acronym is catchy enough for the novice therapist to make a mental check of what areas may be relevant during the session.

Modern computing systems are generally enormous in scale, consisting of hundreds to thousands of heterogeneous machine nodes, to meet rising demands for Cloud services. MapReduce and other parallel computing frameworks are frequently used on such cluster architecture to offer consumers dependable and timely services. However, Cloud workloads’ complex features, such as multi-dimensional resource requirements and dynamically changing system settings, such as dynamic node performance, are posing new difficulties for providers in terms of both customer experience and system efficiency. The straggler problem occurs when a small subset of parallelized jobs takes an excessively long time to execute in contrast to their siblings, resulting in a delayed job response and the possibility of late-timing failure. Speculative execution is the state-of-the-art method to straggler mitigation. Speculative execution has been used in numerous real-world systems with a variety of implementation improvements, but the results of this thesis’ research demonstrate that it is typically wasteful. The failure rate of speculative execution might be as high as 71 percent, according to different data center production trace logs. Straggler mitigation is a difficult task in and of itself: 1) stragglers may have varying degrees of severity in parallel job execution; 2) whether a task should be considered a straggler is highly subjective, depending on various application and system conditions; 3) the efficiency of speculative execution would be improved if dynamic node quality could be adequately modeled and predicted; 4) Other sorts of stragglers, such as those generated by data skews, are beyond speculative execution’s capabilities.

Nghiên cứu nhằm đánh giá tình trạng kháng thể IgG kháng độc tố bạch hầu của người dân tại thành phố Kon Tum, tỉnh Kon Tum, năm 2020. Sử dụng kỹ thuật miễn dịch gắn enzyme (ELISA) để định lượng nồng độ kháng thể kháng độc tố bạch hầu. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy trong tổng số 669 người tham gia nghiên cứu, có 30,6% không có kháng thể bảo vệ; 8,7% có kháng thể bảo vệ một phần và 60,7% có kháng thể bảo vệ đầy đủ. Tỷ lệ có kháng thể bảo vệ đầy đủ ở nhóm tuổi 0 - 10 là 66,4%, sau đó giảm ở các nhóm tuổi tiếp theo. Tuy nhiên, tỷ lệ có kháng thể bảo vệ đầy đủ tăng lên ở nhóm tuổi 51 - 60 và > 60 với tỷ lệ lần lượt là 64,0% và 70,5%. Có sự khác biệt có ý nghĩa thống kê về tỷ lệ có kháng thể bảo vệ theo trình độ, nghề nghiệp và lịch sử tiêm vắc xin. Tuy nhiên, không có sự khác biệt về tỷ lệ có kháng thể bảo vệ theo giới tính, dân tộc, nhóm tuổi, nơi sinh sống. Kết quả nghiên cứu sẽ là cơ sở khoa học cho việc đề xuất các biện pháp can thiệp phù hợp nhằm kiểm soát và khống chế sự bùng phát dịch bạch hầu tại tỉnh Kon Tum nói riêng và khu vực Tây Nguyên nói chung trong thời gian tới.
