Area of Science:

  • Occupational therapy
  • Community health
  • Participatory research

Background:

  • Occupational therapy historically values client empowerment.
  • Limited literature exists on achieving empowerment and extending it to community levels.
  • Need for practical strategies to integrate empowerment into occupational therapy services.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the application of participatory action research (PAR) in occupational therapy.
  • To demonstrate how PAR can inform service development and evaluation.
  • To identify principles for empowering individuals and communities through occupational therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Discusses concepts and strategies of participatory action research.
  • Illustrates PAR application with two case examples: chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
  • Provides a critical analysis of PAR in research and practice.

Main Results:

  • PAR offers a framework for extending empowerment beyond the individual client.
  • Case examples demonstrate successful community and service-level empowerment initiatives.
  • Critical analysis highlights benefits and challenges of PAR in occupational therapy.

Conclusions:

  • Participatory action research is a viable extension of empowerment theory for occupational therapy.
  • Key principles of PAR can guide occupational therapy services towards greater individual and community empowerment.
  • Further research and practice integration of PAR are recommended.
