Occupational therapy practitioners work with many clients who are affected by acute pain. Studies show that if acute pain is not adequately addressed it can lead to an increased risk of transition to chronic pain. In addition to physiological effects, inadequately controlled acute pain is also associated with a high incidence of psychological complications, including acute stress disorder, adjustment disorder, substance abuse and depression (Jones, Southerland, & Catalani, 2017).

This course will explain the treatment of acute pain within the biopsychosocial model as applied to the scope of occupational therapy. During the course, OTs and OTAs will grow their understanding of how to decrease their client's fear, anxiety, and stress regarding pain by utilizing graded exposure for occupation-based tasks. This course will provide recommendations for integrating therapeutic use of self when training clients to strategies that they can use to promote wellness and pain management.

The interactive webinar will facilitate a dialogue around a case study threaded through the course. OTAs and OTs will have the opportunity to reflect on their own practice and how to translate the knowledge from the course straight into their own OT practice to help clients have successful outcomes.

This course is targeted at occupational therapy assistants and occupational therapists.

This course uses the following instructional methods:   visual aides (ie slides), discussion board, guided note taking, and learning, and practice opportunities.

Content disclosure: This course does not exclusively focus on any specific product or service.

Benefits of this course:

Identify the biological, psychological, and social aspects of the Biopyschosocial Model of Pain that fall within the scope of occupational therapy and can be applied to decrease acute pain interference to promote improved client outcomes
Recognize at least three occupation-based activities that can be facilitated to increase successful occupational engagements for clients with acute pain
Describe at least five holistic pain self-management strategies that can be incorporated into current treatment plans for clients with acute pain

Course Contents

Megan obtained a MS in Occupational Therapy from Indiana University in 2012 and has worked in a multitude of settings focused on adult populations including acute care, long term care, work site injury prevention, and outpatient ortho/neuro/post-concussion. Currently, she works as an inpatient OT in Boise, Idaho. During her OT career, she has been drawn to focusing on holistic pain intervention from an occupation-based perspective, health and wellness, and mental health. In 2017, Megan obtained her Therapeutic Pain Specialist Certification through the International Spine & Pain Institute (ISPI), one of the first OTs to do so, and eventually she sought out Fellowship in Pain Sciences, graduating from this program as the second OT practitioner to achieve this designation in 2020. She has also achieved her Applied Prevention Health Promotion Therapist Certification in 2018 through The Academy of Prevention and Health Promotion Therapies, the first occupational therapy practitioner to do so. She is slated to co-author the chapter “Pain Management” in the upcoming 3^rd edition of “OT in Acute Care.” She is INCREDIBLY passionate and truly in love with the scope of practice that occupational therapy provides, and this is exactly why she became involved with the Idaho Occupational Therapy Association (IOTA) currently serving as their President-Elect. Her passion is fueled each and every day by her husband, Joe who works full time as a Major in the National Guard and her two children, 6-year-old James and 2-year-old Morgan.
