Area Of Science
- Health Professions Education
- Interprofessional Healthcare
Background
- Occupational therapists (OTs) are integral to interprofessional healthcare teams.
- Limited research exists on OTs' specific experiences within interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP).
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate US occupational therapists' experiences with IPCP.
- To identify healthcare professionals OTs collaborate with.
- To understand how OTs engage in collaboration during IPCP.
Main Methods
- Exploratory, cross-sectional study utilizing an online survey.
- 142 occupational therapy practitioners completed the survey.
- Quantitative data analyzed with descriptive and bivariate statistics; qualitative data analyzed using consensual qualitative analysis.
Main Results
- Most frequent IPCP collaborators include physical therapists, speech-language pathologists, nurses, physicians, and case managers, varying by practice setting.
- 82% of respondents felt prepared for IPCP post-education.
- Two themes emerged: education-oriented and practice-oriented interprofessional experiences.
Conclusions
- Interprofessional training focused on frequently encountered professions can enhance OT students' and professionals' readiness for IPCP.
- Such training may improve understanding of communication and teamwork, facilitating smoother transitions into practice.
- Further research into OT-specific IPCP is warranted.
