“…While a tension existed for some private practice AHPs between doing fall prevention as part of their model of care and running a viable business, others had seen opportunities to develop their business based on positive client word-of-mouth and by promoting their fall prevention expertise and services within their local networks. Other researchers have noted the ethical dilemma faced by health professionals in private practice to balance their desire to provide high quality services with the realities of running a successful business [ 38 , 39 ]. More in-depth research could better identify which factors allow AHPs to successfully build viable businesses around routine falls prevention with the potential to translate those success factors to other businesses.…”

BackgroundWhile there is strong evidence that fall prevention interventions can prevent falls in people aged 65 and over, translating evidence into routine practice is challenging. Research regarding how allied health professionals (AHPs) respond to this challenge is limited. As part of the Integrated Solutions for Sustainable Fall Prevention (iSOLVE) project, this study aimed to explore how AHPs were making fall prevention practice routine in primary care and the factors that influenced their fall prevention practice.MethodsIn-depth qualitative interviews were conducted with fifteen AHPs who had attended evidence-based workshops associated with the iSOLVE project. AHPs had backgrounds in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, exercise physiology and podiatry. Interviews explored how fall prevention was being incorporated into routine practice and the factors that influenced routinisation, including the project workshops. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.ResultsWe found fall prevention was valued in practice and recognised as complex. AHPs worked through challenges relating to clients (multi-morbidity, complex living situations, client motivation), challenges working alongside other health professionals (understanding respective roles/overlapping roles, sense of competition, communication) and challenges associated with funding systems perceived as complicated and constantly changing. Despite these challenges, AHPs were adopting strategies for integrating fall prevention routinely. The iSOLVE workshops were perceived as important in supporting existing practice and in providing strategies to enhance practice.ConclusionsPolicy makers, program managers, educators and AHPs can adopt strategies identified in this research for routinising fall prevention such as being alert that falls are common, asking every client about falls, having processes for assessing clients for fall risk, and having structured and evidence-based programs to work with clients on fall prevention. Adapting and streamlining funding systems are also important for facilitating fall prevention work.

Introduction. Employment decision-making is essential for understanding workforce trends. Current occupational therapy workforce research describes distribution disparities of occupational therapists within geographic locations, services such as acute care or community health, and private or public sectors. New graduates of occupational therapy programs are critical to meeting the demand and distribution disparities of occupational therapy services in British Columbia. However, recent employment decision-making of new occupational therapy graduates has not been well studied. Purpose. This study aimed to examine factors that influence newly graduated occupational therapists’ employment decisions. Methods. This descriptive study sampled 122 occupational therapists who were registered in one province and graduated from a Canadian occupational therapy program between 2017 and 2022. Data was collected through an online survey about intrinsic factors, extrinsic factors, and past fieldwork experiences that affected participants’ employment decision-making. Descriptive data analysis was used to organize participants’ responses. Findings. Results identified that work-life balance and mentorship were the highest rated factors that influenced participants’ current and first employment respectively. Participants agreed that the variety and number of placements they had as students were more influential to their employment decisions than the length of the fieldwork education. Conclusion. This study identified the intrinsic and extrinsic factors in employment choices that may influence recruitment, retention, and workplace planning of new graduates.
