Authors: Yao Buwen , Takata Sandy C. , Roll Shawn C. 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Date Presented 04/01/2022
We examined the relationships between participation in different extracurricular activities and the overall physical and mental health of OT students across a 2-year period. Participation in certain occupations was associated with positive mental health, and other occupations were linked to poorer physical health. Exploration and promotion of participation in extracurricular occupations may be considered to support OT students’ health.

Authors: Silver Seidle Julie 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Date Presented 04/02/2022
Now what? In my work with caregivers, this is a question that comes up again and again from dementia caregivers after the person they have cared for passes away. I joined them in wondering what life looks like as one transitions out of a role that dominated much of one’s everyday life. To truly provide meaningful supports and services throughout the entirety of the caregiver journey, it is essential to understand the experience of caregivers during both active caregiving and bereavement.

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Date Presented 04/03/2022
OTs often address handwriting difficulties. Primitive reflex retention may interfere with handwriting development. In a cross-sectional study, we explored a possible relationship between reflex retention and handwriting difficulties among 74 children ages 7-9 years. We found that more children with handwriting difficulties had reflex retention, and reflex retention was associated with handwriting ability, after controlling for vision, implying a likely need to address reflex integration.

Authors: Edelstein Jessica , Reynolds Stacey , Gary Kelli , Reistetter Timothy , Middleton Addie , Walker Rebekah 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Date Presented 04/01/2022
Reducing hospital readmissions is a top priority in the U.S. health care system. OT has yet to clearly demarcate its role in reducing hospital readmissions. This study aimed to fill this gap. We identified that higher frequency of acute OT services was associated with reduced odds of readmission for patients. Also, patients who were not readmitted to the hospital were more likely to receive training focused on activities of daily living.
