Area of Science:

Occupational therapy
Healthcare practice
Client-centred care

Background:

Client-centred practice is a cornerstone of effective therapy.
Understanding therapist barriers is crucial for successful implementation.
Previous literature identified potential barriers and solutions.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify the primary therapist barriers to client-centred practice.
To determine the most effective methods for resolving these barriers.

Main Methods:

A questionnaire was developed based on literature review.
The questionnaire was distributed to 60 occupational therapists in the UK.
Data on perceived barriers and effective resolution methods were collected.

Main Results:

The most significant barrier identified was differing goals between therapist and client.
Therapist values, beliefs, attitudes, and employment culture also impede client-centred practice.
Case examples demonstrating client-centred approaches were rated as the most effective resolution method.

Conclusions:

Addressing goal alignment is critical for promoting client-centred practice.
Organizational culture and therapist mindset require attention to facilitate client-centred care.
Practical, example-based training is effective in overcoming implementation challenges.
