Violence in the occupational therapy workplace survey
Workplace violence has
become an alarming phenomenon worldwide. Health sector personnel are
particularly at risk of violence in their workplace. Current figures represent
only the tip of the iceberg… (World Health Organization 2008)
The Department of Occupational Therapy at the University of
Alberta, with an Occupational Health and Safety Innovation and Engagement grant
from Alberta Labour, is building a workplace violence educational resource
website. The website is specifically
about and for occupational therapists (OTs) and OT students. An important part of this work is gathering
information about OTs’ and students experiences of workplace violence. To do this we are using the World Health
Organization’s survey tool – Workplace
Violence in the Health Sector.
The survey is completely
anonymous and neither the researchers (Cary Brown, Professor, Faculty of
Rehabilitation Medicine, University of Alberta and Annette Rivard, OT, PhD,
project co-ordinator), nor anyone else, will not be able to identify individual
participants. There are no risks to you
by participating in the survey and you can exit it at any time prior to
clicking the submit button at the end.
Because the survey is anonymous we cannot remove your data after you
submit your survey responses.
Your completing the survey is interpreted as consent to
participate. You can quit the survey at
any point by closing your browser. The
survey responses will be used to help us build the most useful educational
resource website for occupational therapists and students. The findings will be shared with OTs in the
province through a short report and a formal report may also be published or
presented in a forum relevant to therapists.
If you have any questions you can contact Cary Brown
(cary.brown@ualberta.ca or phone 780-492-9545).
Please click here to
access the survey.
If you would like more information about the study please
contact Cary Brown, PhD, Professor, Department of Occupational Therapy,
University of Alberta cary.brown@ualberta.ca or
(780)492-9545.
Thank you! We
look forward to sharing the project and the final website with you.
Regards
Cary A. Brown, Professor
Department of Occupational Therapy, University of
Alberta

Understanding the Interplay between Culture&Care Webinary
Understanding the Interplay between Culture & Care: Building Capacity to Care for Aboriginal Children and Youth
Aboriginal Children are the fastest growing cohort of children in Canada, yet their chances of achieving their optimal developmental outcomes are compromised by the lingering effect of a tragic past experienced by some of their ancestors, combined with current health care inequities. There is a unique initiative developed out of clinical questions about how to best generate and disseminate knowledge related to improving the wellbeing of Aboriginal children and youth.
Dr. Margot Latimer and John R. Sylliboy will join us to discuss the details of the Aboriginal Children’s Hurt & Healing Initiative (ACHH) and how the ACHH’s objectives are identifying important pain related health inequities that could be further impairing children’s wellbeing. The details related to how the ACHH is addressing the Truth and Reconciliation ‘Calls to Action’ in the area of health will be shared as well as related history, geography and health context of Aboriginal children and youth in Canada and beyond.
We will also be joined by Dr. Roberta Woodgate to share findings from a CIHR funded study that sought to arrive at an increased understanding of the disability trajectory from the perspectives of First Nations families of children with disabilities. The findings from the study lend support for further improvements that may enrich the lives of these families.
Webinar is June 29, 2016
