Abstract
Occupational therapists are required to obtain CE units to ensure professional competency. This study examined occupational therapy practitioners to understand: What are OTPs’ perceived challenges and CE needs when working with populations with neurological impairments? And how can CE courses be tailored towards addressing these challenges and gaps in knowledge effectively? There were 14 responses and 6 themes identified. Participants indicated if they had access to supportive resources as well as their preferred mode of delivery for CE. The findings of this study can be used to identify the preferences, specific clinical skillsets currently used, and gaps in supportive resources. Keywords: continuing education, occupational therapy, perceptions, neurorehabilitation
职业治疗师必须获得 CE 单位,以确保其专业能力。本研究对职业治疗从业人员进行了调查,以了解职业治疗师在为有神经系统损伤的人群提供服务时,会遇到哪些挑战并有哪些 CE 需求?如何调整 CE 课程以有效解决这些挑战和知识缺口?共有 14 个回答,确定了 6 个主题。参与者指出了他们是否能获得支持性资源以及他们喜欢的 CE 授课模式。本研究的结果可用于确定学员的偏好、目前使用的特定临床技能集以及支持性资源的缺口。关键词:继续教育、职业疗法、认知、神经康复
