Q&A

with Hana Bernett, BSHS, MOT,

Occupational Therapist inBroomall, Pennsylvania

Hana Bernett is a pediatric occupational therapist at

Theraplay. She has a minor in fne art, and BSHS and

masters o occupational therapy rom Quinnipiac

University in Hamden, Connecticut. When not helping

children reach their therapy goals, Hana can be ound

on her soapbox educating people about occupation-

al therapy. She says, I think it is very important to sup-port the proession and educate the populace about

the benefts.

Q&A

Q&A

Q: Why did you become an

occupational therapist?

A: Ater my mother had three chil-

dren she decided to leave the art

therapy ield and become a pre-

school teacher to spend more

time with the amily. It was in this

setting where she became amil-

iar with occupational therapy, a

proession my ather was already

very acquainted with as a geriatri-

cian. Both o them recognized my

potential in this ield and encour-

aged me to seek out opportuni-

ties to shadow proessionals and

learn more about this dynamic

proession, which I am so proud

to be associated with today. Ater

an extensive day shadowing one

therapist traveling rom two di er-

ent pediatric settings to a geriat-

ric setting to assistant teaching

a class at a city college, I knew I

had ound a career, which would

continue to challenge and moti-

vate me throughout my lie.

Q: What can you tell us aboutTheraplay?

A: It is an ever-expanding com-

pany with multiple acilities located

around Pennsylvania. The site that

I work at is located in Broomall and

the population consists o children,

inants to 21 years old, both typi-

cally developing and with special

needs. Among the services the OT

team oers are sensory integration,handwriting, eeding, ALERT pro-

gram, and Therapeutic Listening.

Q: When and how did you start

at this acility?

A: I started with Theraplay approxi-

mately one year ago; however, I


5/16

www.news-line.com

Q&AQ&A

became amiliar with them while

I was in graduate school and

attended an in-service or parents

and paraproessionals on a topic

related to sensory integration and

behaviors. Flash orward to two

years later when I stopped at the

Theraplay booth at the annual

AOTA conerence in Philadelphia

and provided them with my inorma-

tion. One week beore I sat or my

national board certifcation exam I

received an e-mail rom them, and

although I did not want to apply

or a job beore I took my exam, I

thought the e-mail to be kismet and

jumped on the bandwagon.

Q: Typically, what are your day-

to-day responsibilities as an OT?

A: During the day we have the

potential to see eight kids, our in

the morning and our in the ater-

noon. The structure o our day is

very ast ast-paced, which abso-

lutely keeps us all on our toes. All

sessions start and end on the hour,

that includes setup, treatment,documentation, cleanup, parent/

amily discussion and preparing or

the next kiddo.

When we have down time, we

utilize it to prepare or upcoming

appointments, discuss with the

team about shared clients, create

home exercise plans, and research

relevant inormation to provide

evidence-based practice.

Q: What type o patients/diag-

noses do you encounter most

requently?

A: The OT teams generally sees

a population consisting o Autism

Spectrum Disorder clients as well

as children with ADD/ADHD and

children with fne motor delays.

Q: Are there other areas o

interest or you as an OT,

either clinically or education-

ally, that you plan to pursue?

A: Since occupational therapy is

so dynamic I relish the opportu-

nity to urther develop my clinical

knowledge in both the pediatric

population and the geriatric,

rehabilitative population. They

sound very dierent, but there

are a lot o s imilarities relected in

the presentation o symptoms o

the two opposing demographics.

Q: What are the greatest chal-

lenges you ace in your job?

A: The time restraints o seeing

children or the one-hour session

and having to get so much done in

such a short period o time duringthe day can be a big challenge.

Sometimes it makes it hard to get

everything I need to done, includ-

ing preparing or clients and com-

municating with the team.

Q: What do you like and dislike

most about your job?

A: What I like and dislike most is

how ast-paced the environment is.It has challenged me to become

more creative and understanding

o the population I work with. With

that said, it makes it very difcult

Q&A

to have concrete plans or each

client because whatever I have

planned will most likely change

due to how a child eels, what they

want to do, and amily concerns.

Q: Are there any projects that

you would like to be involved

with?

A: My graduate capstone thesis

utilized ar ts-assisted therapy

techniques to acilitate ine motor

development in children with

varying degrees o abilities. I

enjoy working with this popula-

tion and I hope to do more within

this domain o OT.

Q: What do you eel is o the

greatest concern to occupa-

tional therapy today?

A: I requently fnd mysel stepping

up on my soapbox to advocate

and defne occupational therapy

and how we dier rom other pro-

essions. Although my elevator

speech defning OT changes withalmost every proclamation, I think

it is very important to support the

proession and educate the popu-

lace about the benefts.

Q: What is the most rewarding

part o your job?

A: I eel so grateul to be involved

in so many kiddos and amilies

lives! I love hearing how excited

they were to come back and visit

while on vacation or hearing

about milestones in dierent am-

ilies lives. Even just the smiles

and hugs you get in the waiting

room when its time to bring a

child back or a session.

Q: What is the most important

thing youve learned over the

course o your career?

A: Flexibility! Flexibility in my ideas,

session plans, schedule, physicality

(getting on the oor and playing),

and, in general, my overall ability to

be exible with my team and my cli-

ents. I value the importance o oth-

ers opinions and understand theneed to incorporate the clients and

other sta members needs, values

and goals into how I structure my

working hours.

Q: What advice do you have

or others thinking o entering

occupational therapy?

A: Ask as many questions as you

can: there is no such thing as a

silly question, especially when you

work with kids! Dont be araid to

get your hands dirty, and learning

rom hands-on experiences can

be extremely valuable.

Q: How has working in pediat-

rics allowed you to grow proes-

sionally?

A: Because o the close connec-

tions we have with amilies, I eel

a great need to provide the best

treatment possible whenever possi-

ble. Because o this I am constant-

ly trying to urther my own personal

knowledge by researching outside

resources, therapeutic techniques,

and exercises to provide to amiliesto support their needs. F

THE PELVIC EXAM, a stan-

dard part o a womans gyne-

cologic checkup, requently isperormed or reasons that are

medically unjustiied, according

to the authors o a UCSF study

that may lay the groundwork or

uture changes to medical prac-

tice.

The research shows that many

physicians mistakenly believe the

exam is important in screening

or ovarian cancer. The study,which surveyed obstetricians

and gynecologists around the

country, also shows that doctors

continue to perorm the exam in

part because women have come

to expect it.

The article is currently published

online in theAmerican Journal o

Obstetrics and Gynecology.

The pelvic examination has been

the oundation o the annual

checkup or women or many

decades, yet very little has been

known about why clinicians

perorm it and i they believe it

is useul, said senior author

George Sawaya, MD, a UCSF

proessor o obstetrics, gynecol-

ogy and reproductive sciences,

and epidemiology and biosta-

tistics. We set out to better

understand their practices and

belies.

Well-woman annual medical

checkups generally are recom-

mended because they allow phy-

sicians to assess overall health

and pinpoint potential problems

early. Traditionally, these have

included, among other assess-ments, a manual inspection o a

womans cervix and uterus and a

Pap smear.

Under updated preventive care

guidelines by the American

Cancer Society, the American

Congress o Obstetricians and

Gynecologists (ACOG), and the

US Preventive Services Task

Force, most women no longerneed annual Pap smears, which

screen or cervical cancer. Now,

questions are being raised by

the medical community about the

necessity o the annual pelvic

exam or women with no gyne-

cologic problems such as pelvic

pain or unscheduled bleeding.

The bimanual pelvic exam is not

recommended or ovarian can-cer screening, so we wondered

under what circumstances the

exam is being perormed and

why, said lead author Jillian T.

Henderson, PhD, MPH, who per-

ormed the research while based

at UCSF. She is now at the Kaiser

Permanente Center or Health

Research in Portland, Oregon.

The study consisted o a nation-

wide survey o 521 practicing

physicians specializing in obstet-

rics and gynecology, or gyne-

cology alone. The doctors were

asked to indicate whether they

would perorm a bimanual pel-

vic exam in vignettes o emale

patients aged 18, 35, 55, and 70

Study Questions Reasons or

Routine Pelvic Exams

years who had no symptoms o

gynecologic diseases and did

not require a Pap test. The study

centered on the bimanual exam,

not other components o a pelvic

checkup such as a speculum

exam and visual inspection o

external genitalia which are oten

perormed.

The researchers ound that near-

ly all the physicians surveyed

routinely would conduct the

exam in asymptomatic, low-risk

women. Furthermore, most o

the doctors said they would per-

orm the exam on a 55-year-old

woman with no ovaries, uterus orcervixand more than hal con-

sidered such an exam to be very

important or that woman.

Some 87% o the physicians said

they would perorm the exam

on healthy 18-year-olds. ACOG

recently recommended the exam

not begin routinely until age 21.

Altogether, nearly hal the physi-cians erroneously believe the

exam is very important in screen-

ing or ovarian cancer, despite

longstanding recommendations

discouraging its use or this pur-

pose.

Notably, many doctors said they

conduct the exam in part or

non-clinical reasons: because

it reassures patients, becausepatients expect it, because it

ensures adequate compensation

or routine gynecologic care.

There were clear geographic pat-

terns: doctors in the northeast

and the south were more likely to

consider the exams very impor-

THERE ARE MANYhealth

eects that a patient may need to

overcome ater winning a battle

against cancer. Cancer treat-

ments can aect the patients bal-

ance, agility, coordination, prompt

weight gain and other physical ail-

ments. At Nationwide Childrens

Hospital, beating cancer doesnt

mark the end o a childs treat-

ment regimen. A new exerciseprogram at the hospital helps

pediatric cancer survivors and

those in remission regain both

physical strength and confdence.

Play Strong, a pediatric cancer

exercise program in partnership

with the Sports Medicine and

Oncology teams at Nationwide

Childrens, is led by certifed ath-

letic trainers. The program was

developed or cancer patients,8-21-years-old, who are o treat-

ment and have clearance rom

their physician. It is based on

unctional rehabilitation activi-

ties including exibility, muscle

strength, power, balance, agility

and unctional coordination.

Travis Gallagher, ATC, a certi -

fed athletic trainer in Sports

Medicine at Nationwide

Childrens, was key in implement-

ing the program at the hospital.

At a patients frst session, we

access their defcits and try

to progress rom there, said

Gallagher as he explained

the goals o the Play Strong

program. Were usually doing

cardiovascular ftness, strength,

power, agility and unctional move-

ment skills to get their bodies back

into the motion o physical activity.

Play Strong was designed or pedi-

atric and adolescent cancer sur-

vivors to improve their motor skills

and transition into physical activity

saely. The goals are to improve

muscle strength and power, bal-ance and agility or better body

coordination and sel-confdence

with all physical activities.

While the kids have the heart and

have the mind to get back into

physical activity, once their chemo-

therapy is over, their bodies some-

times just arent ready, said Randal

Olsheski, MD chie o the Section

o Hematology/Oncology/Bone

Marrow Transplantation (BMT) atNationwide Childrens Hospital,

and also an associate proessor

o Pediatrics at The Ohio State

University College o Medicine.

Play Strong is just another exam-

ple o continuing to break through

the barriers. We want the kids, sae-

ly, to get back to being as much o

a kid as possible.

Many pediatric cancer survivor-

ship programs across the country

encourage their patients to exer-

cise and return to activity ater a

tant and to believe they reassure

patients o their health.

The researchers said their study

shows a need to educate doctors

about the appropriateness o

the exam, especially to clariy itsrole in ovarian cancer screening.

The study also should prompt a

closer look at the evidence that

supports the exams useulness

or the reasons cited by surveyed

physicians, they said.

These exams could result

in unnecessary surgeries or

women being alsely reassured,

Henderson said. We need to

have more discussion over

whether the beneits o these

exams outweigh the harms, and

i they should be part o a wom-

ans annual checkup.

AT A TIME when the nations

healthcare system is relying

more than ever on the diusiono innovative ideas and best

practices to increase eiciency

and decrease costs, a new study

now shows that that the nations

peer-to-peer network or public

health executives to be more

eective.

Research rom the emerging

ield o social network analysis

revealed that local health depart-ment executives tend to talk to

each other in small groups o

twos and threes, mainly within

state boundaries.

Proessional social networks

are recognized as an important

vehicle or inluencing ideas

about practices that are valuable

and eective, says lead author

Jacqueline Merrill, RN, MPH,

DNSc, o Columbia University

School o Nursing. Overall, the

gaps in inormation low sug-

gest that a direct peer-to-peer

network is currently not the main

way local health oicials tend to

communicate about administra-

tive, proessional and leadership

issues in public health.

The paper, Topology o

Local Health Oicials Advice

Networks: Mind the Gaps, was

recently published in the Journal

o Public Health Management

Practice.

The researchers investigated

how top executives in local

health departments communi-

cate about substantive issues

using the data rom the National

Association o County and City

Health Oicials 2010 National

Proile Survey. Merrill and her

colleagues constructed network

diagrams representing com-

munication links between localhealth departments which were

augmented by attributes such

as geographic location and

size. Other characteristics were

included to assess the overall

terrain, or topology, o the com-

munication network making vis-

ible communication patterns and

the geographic distribution o

links in the network.

In a typical diusion model,

health oicials at the periphery

o the inormation network would

rely on communication and ideas

spreading rom a central well-

connected core. In this case,

researchers ound that the con-

nections were sparse at both the

center and the periphery o the

network, a pattern which could

slow down the diusion o ideas,

but also suggests potential or

improvement. Further, there was

no sign that a central group o

Clumps and Gaps Typiy

Public Health Social Network

health oicials served as thought

leaders or coordinated the low

o inormation with the rest o the

network. A picture emerges, says

Merrill, which shows an average

health oicial at the local level

who has only a ew direct ties to

peers, and a small eective net-

work within his or her local area.

In order to eectively spread the

news about best practices and

other innovations, the public

health system could beneit rom

a communication network where

health oicials are connected to

one another in greater numbers.

The more inormation each

health oicial knows about the

activities o their public health

peers, the more opportunities

there are or best practices to

spread through the system, says

Merrill. Inormation and inlu-

ence might ocus on proessional

issues such as culture change

regarding quality improvement,

enhanced leadership techniques,

or improved business practices,

she says.

All public health practice is

local, but not all innovation is

local, Merrill adds. Her team

is now working on a computer

simulation o communication low

that could guide interventions to

increase the spread o inorma-

tion in the health oicials advice

network.
