Abstract

Context: To tackle the systemic injustices experienced by people in vulnerable situations, occupational therapists' agency, i.e. their power to act, is necessary. However, occupational therapists feel ill-equipped to exercise this power, and would like to develop their skills. The general aim of this research was therefore to document occupational therapists' perception of their skills before and after agency training.

Methods: We used a mixed sequential explanatory design, comprising a quantitative component consisting of a pre- and post-training self-administered questionnaire and a descriptive qualitative component with group interviews.

Results: A total of 103 occupational therapists completed the training between January 19 and October 19, 2019. Their sense of competence improved, especially for those with no prior training in agency. The skills perceived as having developed the most corresponded to the skills deemed a priority for development, namely effective communication, intentional collaboration, and observation and analysis. On the other hand, occupational therapists emphasized that they had not mastered the exercise of these skills in a real-life context.

Conclusion: Although continuing education is one way of improving the skills needed to exercise agency, questions remain as to the optimal modalities for ensuring their full and lasting development.

[机构:职业治疗师对其能力感和培训后技能的看法]。
背景:为了解决处于弱势地位的人所经历的系统性不公正问题,职业治疗师的代理权,即他们采取行动的权力,是必要的。然而,职业治疗师认为自己没有能力行使这种权力,并希望发展自己的技能。因此,本研究的总体目标是记录职业治疗师在接受代理培训前后对其技能的看法:我们采用了混合序列解释性设计,包括培训前后自填问卷的定量部分和小组访谈的描述性定性部分:共有 103 名职业治疗师在 2019 年 1 月 19 日至 10 月 19 日期间完成了培训。他们的能力感得到了提高,尤其是那些之前没有接受过机构培训的人员。认为提高最多的技能与优先发展的技能相对应,即有效沟通、有意合作以及观察和分析。另一方面,职业治疗师强调,他们尚未掌握在实际生活中运用这些技能的方法:尽管继续教育是提高行使代理权所需技能的途径之一,但确保这些技能得到全面、持久发展的最佳方式仍然存在问题。
