You are a therapist working in the outpatient setting at UCMC. You were recently contacted by some of the physicians at UCMC about running a wellness and ADL safety group for individuals with COPD. You are excited the physicians thought of you and that they want an OT to develop and run this type of group. You decide to move forward with developing the group but anticipate that developing and leading this group may be challenging due to the diversity of clients receiving services at UCMC, including individuals with differing sociocultural and socioeconomic status. Please respond to each of the following portions of this question: a. State one long term goal for this group. (2 points) b. Identify group membership and size (how many participants, any inclusion or exclusion criteria for participants, open or closed group, etc.) as well as where you would conduct the group including rationale (3 points) c. Explain what frame of reference or model you might use to guide your group (2 points) d. Describe one activity that you might use with the group and how this would relate to the group’s long term goal (3 points) e. Discuss at least two strategies or questions you could use for the sharing or processing portion of this group (2 points) f. Describe how you could adapt the session activity, or the application or generalizing discussions to meet client’s needs based on the client’s sociocultural or socioeconomic status (i.e. someone with high versus low socioeconomic status or someone with a post-professional degree versus someone who has not completed high school) (3 points) g. Identify at least three ethical or practical considerations you may have to consider as the OT running a diverse group such as this one (5 points)

You are working in long-term psychiatric facility on an all-male unit. You lead a group called “Cards and Coffee” on the unit every Monday. During this group, the men play cards and coffee is offered. The men decide as a group which card game will be played.  AB was recently transferred to the unit for good behavior from a more restrictive unit. You have had a busy morning and are 10 minutes late to start the session. Most of the men are familiar with the structure of the group and begin the session before you arrive. When you enter the room, AB is requesting to play Spades. Another member responds, “We don’t play that game here. We only play Rummy. That’s just how it is.” AB appears to accept this and engages in the activity. However, after the first hand, AB begins escalating, cursing at staff and patients, and becomes paranoid that everyone is “trying to trick him.” AB left the group and now refuses to attend all groups and may be transferred back to the more restrictive unit. Reflect on this situation and answer the following questions: a. Consider the group dynamics. Identify and explain one way the dynamics of the group could have contributed to AB’s escalating behavior and avoidance of future groups. (3 points) b. Consider the structure and process of the group.  Identify and explain one way the structure and/or process of the group could have contributed to AB’s escalating behavior and avoidance of future groups.  (3 points) c. Consider your role as an occupational therapist.  What could you have done differently that may have prevented AB’s escalating behavior and avoidance of future groups?  (3 points)
