Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy manager: Maryam Broumand Javaid
Degree: Master of Occupational Therapy
Visiting hours at the hospital: 7 am to 2 pm
In occupational therapy, the patient is helped to have a productive, enjoyable and independent life, and this is done through supporting the patient, evaluating, reducing functional disorders and improving the patient's performance level in various aspects of life (which includes daily life affairs, work and leisure time) is done. Because of their problems, in addition to participating in verbal groups, patients need opportunities to actually recognize and raise their problems. This is important in occupational therapy groups due to establishing a relationship based on therapeutic principles between the therapist and the patient and gaining the patient's trust and increasing his sense of security so that he can express his problems and feelings in a safe environment. In such an environment, the patient restores his self-confidence and thus finds a higher motivation for recovery and treatment.
Experience has shown that in occupational therapy, patients become aware of the abilities they thought they had lost during the course of the disease, and even express that they thought they were no longer capable of such work.
Researches that have been conducted in relation to the type of occupational therapy in mental health departments show that group therapy has a special place in occupational therapy.
The groups that patients want to participate in include:
A) Sports and movement groups: which includes physical exercises to increase movement coordination and strengthen muscles, and the purpose of which is to increase physical abilities, help to gain body image and correct body posture (It refers to the way the body is positioned) and the establishment of social communication. Every day, patients participate in morning sports as a group and with academic principles, and continue with other competitive and individual sports activities.
b) Sensory integration groups: It is implemented with the aim of increasing physical and cognitive ability, which is especially effective in chronic schizophrenia patients. By stimulating the balance of the sense of touch and depth, the activities improve the slowness of movement, strength, verbal, physical imagination and regulation of the patient's mood.
c) Work groups: which includes the group of daily life activities, arts and crafts and Task (an activity that must be done in a certain period of time). In these groups, they carry out activities with the aim of maintaining and improving the cognitive level, increasing socialization, self-expression and creating a positive feeling and mental skills to adapt and better deal with problems. As it has been proven, artistic creation has the ability to treat and heal.
d) Discussion group: The goals of this group are to provide support and increase communication and socialization and gain insight.
e) Self-expression group: the environment of such groups is accompanied by music, art, role playing and self-awareness exercises.
Is it necessary to explain a little more about art and the characteristics of art?
In the essence and structure of art, especially visual arts including painting, there are various features that provide potential capabilities for treatment. First, art is not threatening at all, but calming and creates a safe space for activity. The second property of art is that it has an unconscious atmosphere that reduces the pressure on the patient. The symbolic form of art makes the messages less self-conscious and thus reduces stress. Another is that art easily reveals painful and repressed emotions without the fear of rejection or the guilt of expressing them verbally. Another thing is that art helps balance the gap between consciousness and unconsciousness with the least pressure and create a union between the two.
