Critical Reflection on the Use in Canada of the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement.
Annie Rochette
PMID 42307074WHAT IT FOUND
This is one academic's opinion piece proposing three tweaks to the CMOP-E, a theoretical model taught in Canadian OT programmes.
It is not a research study and provides no evidence to change how you assess or treat a patient.
What this paper is
The author states explicitly that this is 'not a research paper but rather an in-depth critical reflection.' It is a single academic's opinion piece proposing three modifications to the CMOP-E, a theoretical teaching model in Canadian occupational therapy. It contains no research design, no participants, no data, no outcomes, and no results. The 'method' is informal conversations with colleagues and teaching anecdotes over 20 years. There is nothing to summarise as a research finding.
Declared interests
No funding received; the author declares no conflicts of interest.
The easy way to misread this
Do not treat the author's proposals (adding 'identity' to the spirituality dimension, adding micro/meso/macro levels to the environment, recognising relationships as a fourth occupation domain) as evidence-based practice changes. They are one person's reflections on teaching difficulties, not findings from a study, and the model has not been validated in any clinical trial.
