I was reading through my book of memos earlier and discovered a question that i had wrote down on Monday 25th of August. It was funny - i believe that i know understand more about what i was questioning back then..
The question was.. we are trained to do more than what is appropriate or required in acute settings... Is this a reason why new graduates dont "fit"?
The findings i have that relate to this in my research is all around the models that new graduates try and apply in the acute setting and this is a particular struggle for them..Previous research has identified that this is an ongoing concern and challenge for OT's - but i guess its more of a struggle particularly for new graduates as they transition into the acute care and are trying to consolidate and transfer knowledge from one context to another..seems the knowledge they are wanting to transfer just doesnt fit with the acute setting as easy as say a rehab setting where they can utilse a "long term" rehab focused model...
Anyways good to know that my question in some ways back in Aug has been answered hehe
