1Department of Occupational Therapy, University of Minnesota, Minnesota, USA.
Background:
Occupational therapy presently has a limited presence within the workplace wellness industry and the profession's contribution within this area of practice is not fully understood. Occupational therapy's holistic, occupation-based, and client-centered approach has the potential to provide a valuable contribution to the field of workplace wellness.
Objective:
To explore the experience of organizational employees participating in a workplace wellness program centered in the occupational therapy domain and process.
Methods:
Six occupational therapy workplace wellness program participants completed in-depth semi-structured interviews one month after program completion followed by deductive thematic analysis of transcripts.
Results:
Three themes emerged (sustainable change across context, process matters, and therapeutic relationship supporting wellness), along with subthemes, describing the participant experience.
Conclusions:
The structured and individualized process of occupational therapy delivered within a workplace wellness program was appreciated by participants as a means of addressing workplace wellness and providing sustainable wellness results.
