The use of MOHO intervention methods for enabling occupational change in mental health.

• The presented MOHO intervention methods; strategies and interventions, for facilitating change has not been investigated in practice in Sweden. MOHO is often seen as an assessment model. Many assessments have been translated and tested for scientific standard in Sweden but the intervention part has not been noticed in the same way. The aim of the presented survey was to investigate the use of the methods for facilitating change with MOHO in a Swedish context. Ten OT in the area of mental health were invited to partaken in the survey. In their daily work they reported on a questionnaire which methods they used if they were applying MOHO in the treatment sessions together with the client. Regarding therapeutic strategies in total 78 treatment sessions were reported. After following a treatment planning process including different MOHO assessments depending on the client ́s needs, it was stated that the main areas of concern for the clients were volition or habit or performance capacity to almost the same extent for all three elements. The result show that two of the strategies; “Validation” and “Identifying” was use most frequently. “Providing Physical Support” and “Negotiating” was used very sparingly. The most surprising result was that ”Structuring” was rated as number 6of the 9 strategies. When OT describe what they are doing, structuring daily occupations very often is mention as a regular intervention. The interventions are currently being tested, the results will be presented in September.
