It contains more detailed items to assist an older person to make their own evaluation of their falls risk due to home hazards in their home environment, compared to the HOME FAST - HP which is designed for use by health professionals. This document also includes instructions for how to transform the data from the HOME FAST-SR to the equivalent HOME FAST-HP score.

Scanlan, Justin Newton; Pepin, Genevieve; Ennals, Priscilla; Meredith, Pamela J.; Haracz, Kirsti; Webster, Jayne S.; Wright, Shelly; Arblaster, Karen; The ANZOTMHA network All professional preparation programs need to ensure that university curricula remain reflective of current practice, and also prepare graduates for practice in the future. Upon formation, the Australia and New Zealand Occupational Therapy Mental Health Academics (ANZOTMHA) network identified that there was insufficient or poorly organised information available about how well current occupational therapy curricula prepared students for practice in the field of mental health. One of the first priorities established by ANZOTMHA was to undertake a program of research to examine this issue. The aim of this report is to summarise and integrate the outcomes of two inter-related studies to explore the extent to which current occupational therapy university curricula in Australia and New Zealand match educational priorities identified by practising occupational therapists in mental health.

The RAS-DS has 38 items or statements for the consumer to rate. It is a Likert scale with 4 rating categories for consumers to select from: “untrue”; “a bit true”; “mostly true” and “completely true”. The items have been divided into 4 recovery domains: Doing Things I Value (functional recovery); Looking Forward (personal recovery); Mastering My Illness (clinical recovery) and Connecting and Belonging (social recovery).

It was used to identify what types of services and client groups that students gain experience in, the types of interventions they have experience in and the types of supervision and placement styles they are exposed to. The aim of this survey was to see if fieldwork experiences align with everyday OT practice, if they are consistent with the WFOT education guidelines for fieldwork hours, and if placements are reflecting current healthcare trends in Australia. It was also designed to collect information on student costs and personal demands of completing fieldwork experiences.

However, conducting research requires special skills and most consumer members of research teams require special training. Little has been done to make the ‘skills of research’ accessible to consumers. The absence of an established method of consumer research training likely has been a barrier to collaborative research in mental health. The few training programs that have been developed include detailed and theoretically-driven material; they stop short of teaching application. The complexity of the materials and the mode of delivery potentially minimise access for many consumers who possess all attributes required to be valuable members of a research team but are troubled by poor concentration or memory. Before embarking on the creation of these materials, we asked ourselves several questions: What are the essential elements that will ensure collaboration and ownership of the research process? What methods of teaching will maximise accessibility of the materials to a broad range of mental health consumers? What and how much should be included? We hope that these training modules enable you to make accessible the secret language of research to newly-employed consumer researchers. In so doing, we believe that they will help to reduce one of the few remaining hurdles to genuine consumer collaboration in research! This project reflects a partnership between The University of Sydney, the Schizophrenia Fellowship of NSW Inc., consumer members of the research team at Pioneer Clubhouse and the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research. The project was made possible through the generous funding of the Australian Rotary Health Research Fund. There are two complimentary versions of Demystifying Research modules: one for the trainee and one for the trainer. The Trainee version is for consumer participants. It contains the information and worksheets that will be used during training workshops. The Trainer version is for the trainers that will run the training workshops. It contains additional information and teaching notes to assist the trainers in developing and delivering content appropriate to the research project under consideration. (The Trainer version has the same page layout as the Trainee version, with notes added to the right hand side, for easy reference between the two versions.) Please note that the training workshops will probably NOT use all available modules and parts. It is up to the Trainers to decide which Modules are relevant. They should design a course specific to their research needs. In particular it is intended that only one of the available parts of Module 5 and Module 8 be included in each course.

The RAS was selected originally because it had stronger psychometric properties that any other recovery-based instrument. As you can see from our published work, after testing, we found two main problems with the original instrument: poor category structure (consumers were not using the 5 point scale as expected) and a very significant ceiling effect (it was too easy for many consumers and lacked items relating to the later stage of recovery). We used focus groups with consumers who reported being further along their recovery journey to identify 'missing' items. We are currently trialling the RAS-DS with 3 large CMOs in NSW and QLD and one NSW health district. This is a 2 stage study so that we can evaluate its sensitivity to change. In Stage 1 consumers completed the RAS-DS and both consumer and staff member were then asked to complete a questionnaire about its usefulness. Given the poverty of all current recovery measures, the RAS-DS looks incredibly promising. However, it is still in testing stage. We would argue very strongly that while new recovery measures are repeatedly being created internationally, minimal work has been done on them after the initial development stage where they show moderate measurement properties at best. There are obvious reasons for this - when an instrument is modified, it becomes essentially a new (but better informed) instrument and new testing is needed. However, the dividends are clear. Through the long term, iterative process we have engaged in, we have developed what we feel, consumers are saying, and data is indicating, will be a far more superior measure of recovery than exists globally!
