Abstract:
The aim of this study was to document professional factors to be considered in implementing a provincial policy of recycling assistive technology in Quebec. A qualitative study was conducted with 22 experts from various sectors: health professionals (including occupational therapists), industry and community. They were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. Data collection also involved observing recycling practices and analyzing working documents. Implementation strategies were considered from the perspectives of health professionals, the commercial sector, users of assistive technology and government administrators. Factors that contribute to tension between occupational therapists and other players are discussed. It is recommended that occupational therapists take a united position on this issue such that their voices may have more weight in intersectoral collaborations.
