Summary
Patient-oriented research (POR) engages injured workers in return-to-work (RTW) planning. Occupational therapists (OTs) can lead POR to address worker priorities and improve RTW support.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Therapy
- Patient-Oriented Research
- Return-to-Work
Background:
- Patient-oriented research (POR) integrates patient priorities and experiences.
- Injured workers' perspectives are under-represented in Occupational Therapy (OT) return-to-work (RTW) research.
- OTs are well-positioned to conduct POR due to their client-centered practice and role in RTW.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify considerations for OTs implementing POR with injured workers.
- To guide OTs in engaging injured workers effectively in RTW research.
Main Methods:
- This paper outlines practical considerations for conducting POR.
- Addresses challenges in engaging injured workers as research partners.
Main Results:
- POR can illuminate interactions with health, insurance, and compensation systems.
- Highlights system strengths and limitations.
- Promotes collaboration and knowledge exchange.
Conclusions:
- OTs can lead POR to bridge gaps in RTW research and practice.
- Leveraging client-centered skills enhances worker engagement in research.
- POR can improve services and systems for injured workers.

Patient-centered care involves delivering care beyond inpatient hospitalization. Reflective practice can enhance a patient-centered approach. Reflective practice is a process of reasoning that considers all aspects of the present situation, including practicalities, learning from personal practice, and consideration of patient needs. Patients appreciate care decisions made while considering their input. Involving the patient in their care provides the patient with a sense of contribution rather...
