Perceptions of fieldwork in occupational therapy
journal contribution
posted on 2017-02-01, 00:00 authored by Kathryn IngwersenKathryn Ingwersen, Nikki LyonsNikki Lyons, Danielle HitchDanielle HitchBackground There are few studies in occupational therapy that compare the perceptions of supervisors and students regarding quality clinical placement programmes, and those that exist indicate substantial differences in the perceptions held by each group. Methods This pilot study was conducted using a cross-sectional descriptive design, with a single questionnaire distributed to occupational therapy students and clinical supervisors. A total of 40 questionnaires were returned: 17 from students and 23 from clinical supervisors. Results Differences were found between the perceptions of occupational therapy students and clinical supervisors in response to four topics: preparation from the university for their placements; consistency across placement sites; instances of supervisors seeking feedback from students; and the burden associated with the placement-related workload for clinicians.
