Medical significance of occupant restraint on road-crash victims and the role of the medical profession.

Compulsory use of seat belts has been the single most important measure in reducing the number of deaths and injuries on the road. Seat belts are most effective in reducing head and facial injuries in frontal impacts, but less so with side collisions and roll-overs. There should be no medical exemptions to the wearing of seat belts. There is little evidence that seat belts, if properly worn, cause serious injury. The reduction in road deaths and injuries applies only to car occupants: the number of deaths in motorcyclists closely parallels the number of motorcycles in use. Likewise, the pedestrian death rate remains unchanged.

Health promotion, occupational therapy and multiculturalism: lessons from research.

Principles of occupational therapy practice make the profession an important potential partner in health promotion initiatives for immigrant groups. Health promotion embodies the principles of self-definition of health needs by target groups, and working with a community in initiating and supporting programmes. This paper discusses the implications of an exploratory study of the daily activities of immigrant Indo-Canadian mothers for translating health promotion principles into practice. The research process and an analysis of interviews conducted with the women suggest factors to consider in using a health promotion framework with immigrants who have experienced social and economic dislocation through the immigration process. Discussion of household structure, divisions of labour, childcare strategies, and parenting concerns raises issues requiring particular attention in sharing occupational therapy skills and knowledge with ethnocultural communities.

The occupation of healthcare management: relating core competencies to growth as a distinct profession.

There are many questions regarding the education of the healthcare manager. Some would argue that rather than focus on specific issues of core competencies and licensing, the discussion should be directed toward the successful development of healthcare management as a distinct profession. Two elements in defining a profession, education and legal restraints, are particularly relevant to healthcare management. It would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, for healthcare management to achieve recognition as a distinct profession in the traditional sense. There is no unique body of knowledge on which the profession is based, and no mechanism for credentialing to restrict practice. The organizational framework, however, does exist to better position the MHA-prepared graduate as the preferred candidate to manage healthcare organizations. A professional society needs to be identified as the representative society for the generalist healthcare manager. Core competencies should articulate the integration of academics and practice preparation. To accomplish the latter, academic accreditation requirements relating to faculty credentials should encourage practice-based credentials in addition to the current exclusive focus on academic credentials.
