TL;DR: The authors' observations were that an interprofessional team was characterized by its use of inclusive language, continual sharing of information between team members and a collaborative working approach, while in the multidisciplinary team, the members worked in parallel, drawing information from one another but did not have a common understanding of issues that could influence intervention.

TL;DR: The ontological assumption that there is a relationship between engagement in occupation and health has been explored in the literature as discussed by the authors, and different views of best practice have developed: evidence-based, reflective and reflexive.

TL;DR: This peer-led model maintained measures of strength and balance and was superior to seated exercise and may decrease the fall incidence, although larger studies are needed to confirm this finding.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the stressful situations experienced in the first months of practice could be minimised through opportunities to learn how to repackage knowledge, observe role models and have supervision that provides confirmation of plans and bridges the theory-practice divide.

TL;DR: New Zealand therapists' evidence-based practice behaviours, skills and attitudes are largely consistent with international comparisons, however, if New Zealand therapists are to enact the ideal of being 'evidence-based' then accessible training in evidence-Based practice-related skills is indicated and should include education of what evidence- based practice means.
