Purpose Current domestic and international research predominantly examines the past experiences of people seeking asylum and the negative influences such experiences have on health and well-being. However, few studies address the future needs of people seeking asylum, as they transition from Direct Provision. This study aims to address this gap in knowledge by exploring the perspectives of women seeking asylum in Ireland on the skills they think they will need, as they transition from Direct Provision to life in Ireland. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative methodology using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach was used, to collect data collaboratively and sensitively with a vulnerable population group. Convenience sampling was used to recruit six women seeking asylum in Ireland, to participate in focus groups and semi-structured interviews. Data were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Findings Women seeking asylum identified four themes of skills for doing, skills for being, skills for becoming and skills for belonging that are necessary for life in Ireland after Direct Provision. Barriers and opportunities to develop these skills were documented as sub-themes. The skills identified under these themes and sub-themes included work, education, driving, childcare, social integration, money management, home management, health management and leisure. Originality/value Using participatory methodologies, future research should further explore the skills required for transition from Direct Provision, to continue to raise awareness of the potential for occupational injustice and the role occupational therapists could play in this transitional period.

“…Six papers appeared to report engagement of practitioners throughout the research process (preparation, execution, translation)(Tables 3a & 3b). Four of these studies used an action research design (O'Reillyde Brun et al, 2017;Reed & Hocking, 2013;Khresheh & Barclay, 2007;Hummelvoll & Severinsson, 2005). In a seventh paper, which reported on development of a research protocol, engagement with a Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) in the development of the protocol was evident with clear intent to involve the CNS through all subsequent stages of the research process(Fredericks, Martorella, & Catallo, 2015).…”

BackgroundEngagement of frontline practitioners by academic researchers in the research process is believed to afford benefits toward closing the research practice gap. However, little is known about if and how academic researchers engage nurses, midwives, or therapists in research activities or if evidence supports these claims of positive impact.MethodA scoping review was undertaken using the Arksey and O'Malley (2005) framework to identify the extent to which this phenomenon has been considered in the literature.ResultsAn iterative search carried out in CINAHL, Pubmed, Medline, and Embase retrieved 32 relevant papers published 2000 to 2017, with the majority from the last 2-years. Retained papers described or evaluated active engagement of a practitioner from nursing, midwifery, and therapy disciplines in at least one stage of a research project other than as a study participant. Engagement most often took place in one research activity with few examples of engagement throughout the research process. Limited use of theory and variations in terms used to describe practitioner engagement by researchers was observed. Subjective perspectives of practitioners' experiences and a focus on challenges and benefits were the most prominently reported outcomes. Few attempts were found to establish effects which could support claims that practitioner engagement can enhance the use of findings or impact health outcomes.ConclusionIt is recommended that a culture of practitioner engagement is cultivated by developing guiding theory, establishing consistent terminology, and building an evidence base through empirical evaluations which provide objective data to support claims that this activity can positively influence the research practice gap.

“…Two previous studies used participatory approaches with occupational therapists; one was conducted in hospital settings (Bennett et al, 2016) and the other in the community (Cockburn & Trentham, 2002). Among other studies, two distinct participatory research studies aimed at rethinking the practice of occupational therapists (Reed & Hocking, 2013; Wilding, 2011); strategies to change their practice, such as mentoring and capacity building, were identified. In these two latter studies, occupational therapists were mainly based in hospital settings, which differ markedly from community-based services for older adults.…”

Background. Occupational therapists who provide community-based services are well positioned to foster older adults’ social participation. However, community occupational therapists rarely address social participation and require support to change their practice. Purpose. This study initiated a remodelling of community occupational therapy services by (a) selecting practices fostering older adults’ social participation and (b) identifying factors that could affect their integration. Method. A community-based participatory research study was conducted in a large Canadian city. Four focus group meetings and seven individual interviews were held with 28 key informants. Findings. A continuum of emerging practices was identified, including personalized, group-based, and community-based interventions. Potential enablers of these practices included clinical support, better communication, and user involvement. Organizational and systemic barriers were related to the institutional culture and performance indicators. Implications. These results point to innovative ways to foster older adults’ social participation and identify potential enablers and barriers affecting their integration.
