“…IPV hinders victims from engaging in daily activities in a healthy, competent and satisfying manner. Occupational Therapists can play a role in restoring and enhancing the ability of those women experiencing IVP to participate in their chosen ADL by focusing on facilitating the acquisition of skills for healthy, independent lifestyles and the subsequent improvement of quality of life (Javaherian, Underwood, & Delany, 2007;Olivas-De La, 2008).…”

Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) is associated with limitations in Activities of Daily Living (ADL). This paper critically reviews the methodological quality of evidence for life skills interventions provided for women who have experienced IPV. A comprehensive search was carried out for all relevant studies and the McMaster critical appraisal tools used to determine methodological quality of selected articles. Three studies met the inclusion criteria for the review. Findings indicate there is limited evidence available to inform practitioners as to benefits or weaknesses of current life skills interventions. IPV has serious individual and social consequences and methodologically rigorous research is urgently needed.

“…Some authors advocated for embedding screening into routine practice (e.g., Dalton, 2005 ). Several studies further recommended that individual practitioners or the institutions in which they work should develop and maintain lists of local resources to which they could refer clients when needed ( Gallew, 2004 ; Helfrich et al, 2001 ; Javaherian, 2006 ; Javaherian et al, 2007 ; Javaherian-Dysinger & Underwood, 2011 ; Javaherian-Dysinger et al, 2017 ; Johnson, 1997 ; No Author (APTA guidelines), 1998 ). In this way, rehabilitation professionals can be prepared to identify and support the survivors who are invariably among their clientele.…”

Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a public health crisis affecting one in three women and one in ten men in their lifetimes. Rehabilitation professionals are highly likely to encounter survivors of IPV in their practice; yet, there exists no formal review assessing the relationship between IPV and rehabilitation. Our objective was to understand the types and contexts of rehabilitation care currently available for survivors of IPV, opportunities identified in the literature for rehabilitation care, and IPV awareness and education among rehabilitation providers. A search strategy related to IPV and four rehabilitation professionals of interest (occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech-language pathology/therapy, and physiatry) was developed across 10 databases and complemented by a gray literature search. Two reviewers independently assessed articles for inclusion. In all, 44 articles met inclusion criteria, ranging from primary research articles (48%) to clinical newsletters. Included articles predominantly focused on opportunities for rehabilitation care (68%) and occupational therapists as a profession (68%). A minority of studies examined specific interventions for IPV survivors (18%) or assessed for knowledge and attitudes about IPV (16%) among rehabilitation professionals. To our knowledge, this is the first scoping review exploring the rehabilitation literature for IPV survivors. These findings show an awareness of IPV among rehabilitation professionals, the importance of identifying IPV in clients, and the ways in which rehabilitation professionals are uniquely situated to support survivors of IPV. There remains an opportunity to explore interventions designed specifically for IPV survivors.

The study findings clearly depicted the many barriers experienced by homosexual men and how this negatively impacts on their worker role. Minimal facilitatory factors exist, to assist gay males %in with regard to their worker role. It was found that homo-prejudice still exists in South Africa and its workplaces and has a negative impact not only on gay men's worker role but also their well-being. This significantly highlights the great need for occupational therapy intervention in the lives of these gay men, and their workplaces.
