Recognizing emerging trends is fundamental to developing responsive educational programs, evidence-based practices, and adaptive health policies. This study explores expert perspectives across five themes: (1) Future Technologies, (2) Neuroscience and Biotechnology Integration, (3) Technology-Based Therapy Approaches, (4) Sociocultural and Demographic Impacts, and (5) Innovative Educational Methods.Method: A three-round Delphi study was conducted with 36 occupational therapy professionals. The sample included 12 academicians (mean age (M) = 34.5, 67% female), 12 clinicians (M = 31.2, 75% female), and 12 final-year interns (M = 23.1, 92% female). The mean professional experience was 6.0 years for academicians and 5.8 years for clinicians. Thematic analysis and Kendall's W were used to evaluate consensus.Results: Participants emphasized the importance of integrating virtual reality/augmented reality interventions, artificial intelligence-supported assessments, and telehealth into occupational therapy practice. Neuroplasticity-based interventions and simulation-based learning were highlighted for future competence. Ethical concerns regarding artificial intelligence, as well as cost and digital literacy barriers, were also noted.Conclusion: To meet future challenges, occupational therapists should enhance digital competencies, ensure accessibility, and develop inclusive, culturally responsive practices.

Semistructured interviews were conducted with five participants with serious mental illness, and data were analyzed thematically to identify recurring themes related to employment and recovery.Result: Employment fostered self-awareness, advocacy, and self-actualization. Participants reported that understanding their condition enabled them to advocate for workplace accommodations, while both awareness and advocacy supported self-actualization. Peer support was critical for sustaining employment and fostering a sense of belonging. These elements interacted to create an inclusive work environment that facilitated ongoing recovery.Conclusion: Employment is a dynamic and integral component of recovery. Workplace policies promoting self-awareness, advocacy, and peer support enhance job retention and well-being. Occupational therapists can play a key role in supporting individuals by facilitating workplace accommodations, strengthening self-advocacy skills, and fostering peer support networks, ensuring that employment contributes meaningfully to recovery.","PeriodicalId":49096,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"89 4","pages":"246-255"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12982831/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147469973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, no validated Occupational balance assessments currently exist in Lithuania. This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Lithuanian version of the Occupational Balance Questionnaire 11 (OBQ11-LT).Method: A total of 127 healthy adults completed the OBQ11-LT to evaluate construct validity. Of these, 53 participants were randomly assigned to complete the questionnaire again after 7-10 days to assess test-retest reliability. Construct validity was examined using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Test-retest reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for both total scores and individual items. Internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's alpha.Findings: The model demonstrated acceptable fit (χ²(45) = 719.79, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.933; TLI = 0.909; RMSEA = 0.106). The ICC between test and retest OBQ11-LT total score was 0.924. Total scores showed a significant statistical relationship (p < 0.01), indicating good reliability. Cronbach's alpha for the OBQ11-LT total score was 0.915, indicating acceptable internal consistency.Conclusion: OBQ11-LT demonstrates good reliability and validity for assessing occupational balance in general populations. Its psychometric properties are suitable for practice and research, making it a valuable tool for studying occupational balance in similar contexts and broadening the research areas for Lithuanian occupational therapists.","PeriodicalId":49096,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"89 2","pages":"94-101"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12858774/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146108125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A five-stage methodological framework was followed, with a search conducted across three databases (2003-2023), identifying key terms related to AA and its effects on both children, adults, and older adults. Eleven qualitative studies were selected from an initial 265 results, including 989 participants aged 10-79, mainly from North America and the United Kingdom. Data were analysed thematically, identifying three key themes: (1) Navigating AA through occupations across the lifespan, (2) Occupational Engagement in Self-Care is not Always Pleasurable, and (3) Connecting the meaning of hair and its loss with daily occupations. The review concluded that AA affects various aspects of life, including work, study, self-care, and physical activities. While the condition can be distressing, it sometimes leads to the development of new, meaningful occupations. These findings highlight the potential role of occupational therapists in supporting individuals with AA.","PeriodicalId":49096,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"89 6","pages":"370-383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13198665/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148018435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite navigating diverse and challenging work environments, relatively little is known about how occupational therapists are expected to manage and express their emotions in line with job-related emotion norms. The aim of this study was to explore the emotional labour experiences of occupational therapists when interacting with clients.Method: Fourteen qualified occupational therapists (11 female and 3 male) took part in a semi-structured interview about practice-related emotion norms, emotion regulation and emotion performance demands. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.Findings: Two overarching themes captured the complexities of emotional labour when interacting with clients including (1) navigating subjective emotion norms, and, (2) negotiating authentic and inauthentic emotions to nurture the therapeutic relationship. Prioritizing client needs informed how and what emotions were expressed and regardless of the emotional labour strategies adopted, therapists strived for perceptions of sincerity in their relationships with clients.Discussion: The enactment of emotional labour when interacting with clients is critical to delivering therapy and meeting professional standards. The findings have implications for practitioners (e.g. reflective practice, self-care), managers (e.g. supervision) and organizations (e.g. support structures, education) and point to fruitful avenues for research.","PeriodicalId":49096,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Occupational Therapy","volume":"89 1","pages":"36-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12745613/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145866044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phase 2 consisted of a handwriting training session and focus group with six ECTs. Descriptive statistics and thematic analysis were used to analyse data from both phases.Results: In total, 82% of respondents reported no training in handwriting development and 90% were not taught how to identify children with handwriting difficulties. Themes from focus group data included a lack of confidence in teaching handwriting, uncertainty about how to support children with handwriting difficulties, and a need to understand handwriting prerequisites.Conclusion: Findings demonstrate a gap in teachers' knowledge of handwriting instruction and lack of confidence with handwriting and identifying handwriting difficulties.
