Introduction:
Occupational participation is a key element to increase the quality of life in the population. One of the effective interventions to increase occupational participation is the "Occupational Self-Analysis" program. The aim of this study was to analyze participant's reported benefits about the "Occupational Self-Analysis" program.
Method:
This is a qualitative study with 26 participants (12 people with intellectual disability, 7 affected by acquired brain injury, and 7 students) who participated in weekly group sessions and one individual session. The outcomes were measured based on participant diaries and focus group transcriptions.
Results:
Two main themes emerged: (1) supports for occupational participation and (2) barriers for occupational participation. The thematic analysis of the categories was based on the Model of Human Occupation to increase applicability of the program in occupational therapy practice.
Conclusions:
The "Occupational Self-Analysis" program allowed participants to increase their knowledge of supports provided for and the barriers against occupational participation.
