In this climate, it is important to enable new graduates to develop their knowledge, skills and confidence to meet these exacting demands, in an effective and supportive environment. This is of particular importance because there is growing concern over the retention of new graduates. If new graduates do not receive effective support to complete the transition to a competent professional, then the concern is that they may choose to leave the profession and/or seek new roles. This opinion piece argues for an academic/practice partnership to provide the needed support structures to allow graduates to become competent professionals. Two examples are provided, which embrace such partnership working.Item Program Redesign Based on the Model of Human Occupation: Inpatient Services for People Experiencing Acute Mental Illness in the UK(2008) Melton, J.; Forsyth, Kirsty; Metherall, A.; Robinson, J.; Hill, J.; Quick, L.This paper discusses the current context of the UK mental health service system and the resulting need for program change within acute-care inpatient hospitals. The primary focus is to illustrate through practice example what can be done to support the delivery of client treatment packages by using the concepts described by the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO). The paper concentrates on explaining how MOHO has helped to guide program redesign and develop an Occupational Therapy Care Pathway to support occupation-focused services. The example given is of a hospital service in Gloucestershire, England, which provides inpatient care for people experiencing acute mental illness. 2008 by Informa Healthcare USA, Inc.

The Model of Human Occupation Screening Tool (MOHOST) (Parkinson, Forsyth, Kielhofner, 2004) was developed to provide a broad assessment of the factors that influence a client's occupational participation. The purpose of this study was to ask whether there was evidence that the items of the MOHOST meaningfully cluster into these theoretical sub-constructs. Nine occupational therapists used the MOHOST with 166 clients in the US and the UK, and a series of confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted. The six-dimensional model fit better than the one-dimensional model, and the standardized coefficients also indicated that the items were well designed and captured each factor. The results of this study confirmed the hypothesis that the MOHOST contains six factors and provides further evidence of the validity of the MOHOST.Item Talking With Clients: Assessments That Collect Information(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008) Kielhofner, G.; Forsyth, Kirsty; Clay; Ekbladh; Haglund; Hemmingsson; Olsen; Keponen, R.Item Assessment: Choosing and Using Structured and Unstructured Means of Gathering Information(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2008) Kielhofner, G.; Forsyth, Kirsty; Kielhofner, G.
