Hi,I am a Recreation Therapy intern at a mental health hospital, part of my project for my internship is to come up with an assessment for lack of motivation or interest. Many patients respond with 'nothing' when asked about their interests. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! My email is jess12@embarqmail.com

Hi There! I am a Recreational Therapist at an adult day center in Maine. We are hoping to find new assessments to do to better obtain necessary information on our members. I am curious, does anyone have any assessments that they use in a community/outpatient setting that they are willing to share? Any care plan suggestions would also be most helpful! Thank you so much! Currently we use: Mini Mental Status Exam, Recreation and Leisure History, the Geriatric Depression Scale and are undergoing the Allen Cognitive Training.

Question: I am a CTRS working on an 44 bed inpatient physical rehab unit. Previously OT covered the leisure part of eval when I am off or when patients are admitted on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. I was told that I would have to cover all these evals on Monday; however this exceeds the 72 hour rule. What do I need to do?

I love using excel to make forms and surveys. I made a list of options that the patients can do IN the hospital to see what their interests were that I could do with them there. And in a separate section on the form is a list of things they enjoy that we do not offer. This way I could engage with them in the hospital and connect them with others with the same interests AND I can see where they might want to be discharged to and see what is in the community they can outreach to. I just have them put a check in the column with the things they like to do on both lists on the same sheet

Regarding CERT for Psychiatric setting. The STate of Calif Dept of Mental health uses it as an annual update. This CERT was changed slightly for state hospital needs. Most likely the state will dump this assessment. It does not reflect or allow for the daily/weekly drastic moodswings, personality changes, and functional abilities that are affected by these changes. There are other reasons too. If anyone has any assesments they use for mental health settings I would be interested in recieving a copy. I am on a hospital committee that is addressing the assessment process.

We (at team of professional eating disorder practitioners, recreation researchers and others) are making a programme for each type of eating disorder both in 2005 and 2006 with the purpose of using the experiences from the 3 programmes in 2005 in the 3 programmes in 2006. The aim is to make a method which can be used in the locales municipalities in Denmark. However, this is the first project in Denmark, and it is difficult to find relevant literature and practical recommendation in the international literature. My application is therefore: can you help me with relevant information, literature, papers, key persons, programme design in the field of eating disorders and therapy in the outdoors.

We currently use, an OT model assessment that assesses the clients fine/gross motor, upper-dexterity, immediate response and blah, blah, blah. I keep reminding her that Recreation Therapy treats current immediate recreation needs. My agency treats SED Youth who, to be honest, need not the OT crap, but more leisure education. The assessment is out-dated and only goes to the age of 14.5, yet I work with youth up to 18. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME!

I work in aquatics therapy and rehab. We have designed 2 different assessments to meet each of these areas. I've worked in conjuntion with a physical therapist to develop our land/aquatics based assessment. It addresses physical, emotional, and functional needs related to land and water. Also, depending on dx we use daily notes that coincide with that particular dx. Our recreation therpy assessment has been designed to accomadate the rapid changing needs of shorter stay on rehab. Most of the assessments which address rehab are too long to meet the requirements governing bodies of rehab.

It is difficult to assess a patient and actually write a goal when you are only going to see them for 5 to 7 days. Length of stays in physical rehabilitation grow shorter and shorter. The FIM measurement offers admit/discharge scores which are helpful in goal writing. Recreation therapists need assessments that measure something no one else measures. We do not set ourselves apart from the other therapies. How many TRs are tired of being called activities and told gee..your job must be so much fun. Not to mention the low pay. Is any one out there concerned that colleges are dropping TR programs?

Glad to see so many people responding from Mental Health related agencies. I have practiced in TR field for 17 years. I have used many tools for assessment purposes with individuals and groups. Those that are most effective are: LAM (Leisure Attitude Measure), FBM (Free-time Boredom Measure), Cert Psyc Behavioral - a great checklist tool for small groups, The LDB (Leisure Diagnostic Battery) is fine for collection of data bases, but does not give me good indicators of an individual's leisurability, LVS (Leisure Value Survey), I have, over the years, developed a comprehensive psychosocial tool for TR called the CALF (Comprehensive Assessment of Leisure Functions). If framed correctly and systematically, the best tool to capture the essence of a patient's leisure lifestyle remains to be a face to face interview perhaps validated by a patient's family member or friend. the LAM, FBM, LVS are great pre and post-test tools to measure outcomes between admission and discharge (very effective in acute care settings). These are great tools to premise simple outcome studies according to specific diagnostic criteria. I would be most happy to hear from colleagues from elsewhere. e-mail: garry.wilson@cdha.nshealth.ca Thanks. All the best.

This type of tool is easy to use, quick with results (due to LOS we need this), and easy to document. I enjoy it because it's simple, concise, and it provides enough information to go ahead and form an opinion about the persons eventual d/c. The FIM provides leisure interest identification, barrier id, psycho social/emotional abilities, involvement socially, ambulation, and a few others. We are able to check this with other reports and then formulate upon d/c a community re-entry plan based on the persons abilities and personal goals. It's not the only assessment made but it is works well with the populations mentioned.

We utilize 2 assessment forms. One is a standard interview assessment incorporting present and past interests, social skills, physical functioning and motivation.

It works out well, you get a good feel of their functioning level after the week and most of the catastrophic reactions have eased as they acclimate themselves.

we use a form created in-house (at our rehab unit within a general hospital) that contains the mandatory information/questions required by CARF. It is very general and basic: interests premorbidly, pets, leisure barriers, goals. We use no commercially available assessment tools such as LDB or CERT. I often feel that we are too general, focused too much on diversional activities, and have nothing to show (really) to justify our being in contact with patients. Our assessment and documentation looks almost identical to that of PT, speech, & OT as a convenience to the hospital and doctors.

My facility, Adult Day Care, will not pay for a standardized assessmt. tool, therefore we use a check off task/skill tool I devised years ago that has proven effective in my long practice in both psych and gerontology.

While working in Florida in geriatrics and mental health, I developed my own assessment format. I included the following sections in overall leisure assessment: leisure history, current leisure interests, and future leisure pursuits. I also documented on areas that could cause potential barriers to current or future leisure functioning. The following areas or levels of functioning were identified: cognition, physical, emotional, financial, environmental, social, family support, and motivation.

We use the Leisure Diagnostic Battery. I don't really like it but we have been using it for about ten years. I have not found any thing that I like better. We have tried several others but keep coming back to the LDB. We are presently in the process of developing our own assessment tool but are not far enough along to share.
