OT Intervention for Youth in Oncology Palliative Care

# data[].attributes.body
This is an interesting article because it brings a new perceptive to what is already known about the role and interventions of occupational therapy in palliative care. It specifically looks at oncology palliative care for adolescents and young adults. Often times, palliative care providers do not have any experience working with younger individuals. That is where the holistic practice of occupational therapy comes into play. There are not many OTs in this setting working with this specific population yet, so this scholarly article is also a call to action. The specific needs of OT for youth in oncology palliative care include maintenance of as "normal" a life as possible, occupational role engagement, and assistance with connecting with others.

Understanding the Experience of HIV/AIDS for Women 

# data[].attributes.body
This article brings to light the challenges for women who suffer from HIV or AIDs and the physical and psychosocial impacts on occupational performance. This study also explores the lived experiences of women who participated in the study. It was noted that increased isolation, difficulty with disclosure, and decrease in peer support was common among women who suffered from a diagnosis of HIV (Beauregard & Solomon, 2005). The roles of occupational therapy include education on energy conservation and work simplification, addressing ROM, balance, ambulation, cognition, education of resources and support within the community, return to work, and so many other areas. Individuals in the study expressed the increased difficulty with disclosing their struggles and challenges with the diagnosis. Therefore, it is important that occupational therapists continue to provide compassionate, holistic, and client centered care when providing treatment.
