Occupational Therapy Intervention: Case Study of Rumi

Occupational Therapy Intervention
Feedback from The Lecturer
These assignment is missing the component of the learning outcomes. For
instance, the intervention is not linked to the patient, like the OT intervention,
is not shadowing the patient.
There are lots of Grammatical errors, punctuation and spelling mistakes. I will
urge you to proofread your work.
The referencing is not adequate, it is not Harvard referencing.
The main issue is Linking evidence-based practice to the patient.
Word count 4000 words plus 10% Max 4400, ensure the word count is within
that range when the feedback are implemented
I believe that about 1500 to 2000 words is required to fix this issue
Just a reminder it’s all about Occupational focused person Centre for mental
health
you can also use MOHO mode

Introduction
The purpose of this paper is to understand the occupational intervention by focusing on a case
study of Rumi. An intervention is selected to treat the patient and help her to overcome the
current situation. The process of assessment and intervention to develop, maintain physical or
mental activities to improve human health of individuals, communities or groups is referred
to occupational therapy. The occupational therapy provision and the interventions involved to
treat Rumi will be made. In this regard, this paper will provide an overview of how the
occupational performance of an individual can be affected. This paper will provide an
indication and evaluation of the evidence-base that will be related to the intervention and
indication will be done on how such evidence will be supporting the occupational
participation as well as the occupational performance. The assessment of Rumi will be done
in the paper to acknowledge the factors that have impacted her activities. The paper will end
with the necessary conclusions.
Case Study Overview
The case study is about a 19 year old female, Rumi who's mother was died because of cancer
when she was only ten years old and her father did a second marriage after five years of her
mother's death. The relationship between Rumi and her step-mother is not healthy. Rumi’s
father is a businessman and could not be able to spend time with his daughter because of her
busy schedule. Rumi has an ideal lifestyle with all the luxuries and comfort. Rumi was a
happy child, but since her father’s second marriage she started spending most of her time
alone in her room during day. At night, she spends most of her time at bars and clubs and
because of that she gets indulge in intake of drugs and alcohol in a substantial amount.
However, the main reason behind this was her loneliness and lack of parental support. Rumi
was quite reluctant to spend time with her friends any more. Rumi avoid to indulge in any
sort of social or physical activities after death of her mother which eventually leads to
occurrence of depression, continuous migraine, and Cardiomyopathy and Cognitive
impairment. Lack of physical activity made her obese and cause behavioural changes such as
being violent at times and to react instantly on minor issues. The problems were ignored at
the initial phase.

Appraise the range of possible interventions and specify which you will focus on; and
how this specific intervention addresses the occupational performance needs.
Points to cover in this question:
 Select different interventions (mention 3-4) and focus on one (use ADL your
main intervention as it more suitable to amputee)

Rumi's situation is discussed as follows:
