Chapter 6: Conclusions
This research project considers the larger research question of What is known about the reasoning behind using paper versus screen resources and its impact on engagement and comprehension? Under this larger research question was a smaller question which specifically guided the scoping review aspect of this inquiry.
• hat factors can be identified within paper versus screen research that may support occupational therapists and health professionals' reasoning when they develop and provide educational resources for clients who have experienced concussions?
In summary, this research project report covered six chapters. The first introduces the connection of the topic to occupational therapy, the practice problem, and the author’s development of the concussion workbook as to how the practice problem evolved. The second chapter explores the background of the topic through an initial literature review and discusses key aspects of the research question by looking into concussion and New Zealand’s health literacy. The third chapter describes the methodology which the author followed to address the research questions. The fourth chapter outlines the findings from the selected articles. The fifth chapter includes a detailed discussion of how this research is relevant to occupational therapy practice with an in-depth discussion on the three key topics found: cognitive maps, comprehension, and preferences. A visual map is introduced to illustrate the information and ideas found through the research and are discussed further in relation to occupational therapy.
Further to this, the research is discussed in relation to individuals’ health, concussion, and the occupational therapy model of POE. The visual map is then reintroduced with further details to explore how the concept fits into concussion focused practice. Reflection against the initial development of the workbook and the implications of the scoping review findings were briefly discussed. Finally, the limitations of this research project are discussed, and future directions are suggested.
To conclude, this research project suggests that the relationship between cognitive maps, the tool of text signalling and maximizing comprehension are essential factors to consider when developing educational resources. However, the medium of screen or paper resources
CHAPTER 6: CONCLUSIONS 55 from the research reviewed does not significantly impact an individual's ability to form cognitive maps or understand the information presented. This finding is taken cautiously due to the fact that none of the population groups included within the scoping review included people with concussion. However, the most important finding is the influence of an individual’s preferences. These findings align strongly with the core idea of client centred practice, ideas summarised within the visual map could potentially guide a therapist’s inquiry into gaining an understanding of the complex factors which influence a client’s screen or paper preference.
