“…The location of this survey in Queensland, Australia, may not be generalisable to other Australian states and territories, nor to international settings. However, the similarity of some of its findings when compared with recent literature from Canada (Sloggett, 2003) is encouraging. The survey design, and its distribution via email, resulted in an estimated response rate of 42%; however, it is not known how many potential participants the email finally reached.…”

“…While Canadian researchers (e.g. Sloggett, Kim & Cameron, 2003;Tompson & Proctor, 1990) have conducted several investigations into this topic, these studies have generally been relatively small in scope and, given differences in health and education systems, may not fully reflect the contemporary experiences and perceptions of Australian fieldwork supervisors.…”

Background/aim: Increased enrolments in occupational therapy education programs, together with changes in the employment patterns of practising occupational therapists, have resulted in a crisis in fieldwork education in Australia.This study aimed to investigate fieldwork supervisors' perspectives regarding the benefits and challenges of providing fieldwork placements, explore the potential link between providing student placements and later workforce recruitment, and document currently employed models of fieldwork supervision. Methods: Participants included past, present and potential future fieldwork supervisors, sourced from fieldwork coordinators' databases at The University of Queensland and James Cook University. Using an online, purpose-designed questionnaire, descriptive data (frequencies and percentages) were gathered from forced-choice questions. For open-ended questions, content analysis was conducted to identify categories and themes. Results: One hundred and thirty-two surveys were completed. Benefits of fieldwork placements related to opportunities for later recruitment of fieldwork students, students conducting projects and developing resources, a sense of contributing to the occupational therapy profession, and the development of employee skills. Challenges related to staffing issues, lack of physical resources and prohibitive workload pressures. Multiple models of supervision were employed in supervisors' workplaces, and almost all participants responsible for workplace employment had employed fieldwork students they had previously supervised. Conclusions:The results demonstrate a strong link between supervision and later recruitment of fieldwork students, suggesting that supervision of students is of considerable advantage to the host organisations in the recruitment of appropriately prepared employees. The study also demonstrates additional benefits to be promoted to supervisors and organisations to encourage and support fieldwork placements.

“…In the profession of occupational therapy, a limited number of contemporary research studies have been conducted to specifically explore occupational therapists' perceptions of benefits, barriers, and facilities for supervising students (Brayford et al, 2002;Casares, Bradley, Jaffe, & Lee, 2003;Derdall & Urbanowski, 1995;Sloggett, Kim, & Cameron, 2003;Thomas et al, 2007;Vogel, Grice, Hill, & Moody, 2004).…”

The objective of this study was to examine the factors influencing fieldwork educators' ability and willingness to supervise Level II occupational therapy students in hospital-based settings. Qualitative focus groups were used to explore the perceptions of occupational therapists in four urban hospitals in Nebraska. The study presents the issues facing fieldwork supervisors and their suggestions on how to improve the fieldwork process. Both personal and professional factors influenced occupational therapists' willingness to accept students, while facility constraints were the primary reason occupational therapists would not accept Level II students. Fieldwork educators believe that their facilities need structured fieldwork programs and that students need more formalized fieldwork preparation at their academic institutions. Themes highlight the need for continued collaborative endeavors between academic fieldwork coordinators and fieldwork educators.

“…Au Québec, cette proportion s'élève à 31% selon le rapport annuel 2015-2016 de l'Ordre des ergothérapeutes du Québec (OEQ) [2]. Ce secteur de la pratique ergothérapique est en croissance constante, au Canada [1] et au Québec [3] comme à l'échelle internationale [4]. Comme les ergothérapeutes qui travaillent dans le secteur public, ceux du secteur privé interviennent en santé mentale et physique auprès d'enfants, d'adultes ou de personnes âgées.…”

Il a pour mission la promotion et la valorisation de la recherche. le bien-être du patient, l'autonomie du patient, la sécurité publique, la justice distributive, la qualité des interventions, la pratique compétente, l'indépendance professionnelle, l'honnêteté et le professionnalisme. Bien que les ergothérapeutes aient à coeur le bien-être des patients, plusieurs éléments semblent contribuer à cet état de fait, comme les situations de double allégeance vécues par les ergothérapeutes, l'ingérence des tiers payeurs dans le processus clinique et le mode de financement des cliniques. Plus encore, les enjeux éthiques de la pratique privée de l'ergothérapie sont principalement de nature macroscopique. La capacité des ergothérapeutes à percevoir certains de ces enjeux semble être reliée à certaines de leurs caractéristiques, en l'occurrence leur sensibilité éthique et le fait qu'ils soient novices. Les résultats de cette étude rejoignent en général ceux décrits dans les écrits en physiothérapie et montrent le manque de soutien offert aux ergothérapeutes, notamment aux novices, pour surmonter ces enjeux avec aisance et efficacité. Résumé AbstractAu Québec, 31% des ergothérapeutes travaillent dans le secteur privé, lequel est en constante croissance. À ce jour, aucune étude n'a spécifiquement répertorié les enjeux éthiques de cette pratique. Cette étude avait pour objectif d'explorer ces enjeux, c'est-à-dire les situations susceptibles de compromettre le respect d'une valeur é t h i q u e . O p t a n t p o u r u n d e v i s d ' i n s p i r a t i o n phénoménologique, sept ergothérapeutes ont été rencontrés dans le cadre d'entrevues individuelles semidirigées. Basé sur le cadre conceptuel de Swisher et ses collaborateurs, le canevas d'entrevue a permis d'identifier différents types d'enjeux éthiques. Les résultats attestent que plusieurs valeurs sont suscept ibles d'être compromises, soit : le bien-être du patient, l'autonomie du patient, la sécurité publique, la justice distributive, la qualité des interventions, la pratique compétente, l'indépendance professionnelle, l'honnêteté et le professionnalisme. Bien que les ergothérapeutes aient à coeur le bien-être des patients, plusieurs éléments semblent contribuer à cet état de fait, comme les situations de double allégeance vécues par les ergothérapeutes, l'ingérence des tiers payeurs dans le processus clinique et le mode de financement des cliniques.
