Individuals with dementia offer a complex variety of needs. Interdisciplinary team members must know how to collaborate to provide the best service for these patients. The need for successful interdisciplinary teams and healthcare professionals is increasing as Alzheimer’s disease continues to affect more people. SLPs and OTs are professionals within interdisciplinary teams that commonly work with people with Alzheimer’s disease. Their scopes of practice are similar, which can lead to interprofessional conflict. This study shows that future and current SLPs and OTs recognize the interaction between their scopes of practice. Their education makes them feel prepared to work within an interdisciplinary team and collaborate with similar professionals. With an increased knowledge of their scopes of practice, an understanding of other professionals’ scopes of practice, and the motivation to resolve interprofessional conflict, interdisciplinary teams can provide optimal service for patients with complex needs.
APPENDIX A: Qualtrics survey
SLP and OT Perspectives on Altering Environments for People with Alzheimer's Disease
The purpose of this survey is to study how speech-language pathologists and occupational therapists view their scopes of practice. The aim is to discover how current and future clinicians perceive the roles when working with other professionals, specifically when caring for people with Alzheimer's disease. This study will provide insight on how SLPs and OTs feel about their education and how to help others feel prepared to enter the healthcare field.
This is a reminder that all responses will be recorded anonymously. Thank you for participating in this survey.
