Abstract

Chronic disease prevention, health, and wellness have become primary practice areas for occupational therapy. Occupational therapists (OTs) in pain rehabilitation are established as essential members of comprehensive and multidisciplinary pain management teams, focusing on increasing occupational performance through participation. This study's purpose was to investigate OTs' experiences managing chronic pain and to explore OTs' effectiveness in supporting clients' wellness and occupational performance through interventions. Eleven OTs (n = 11) participated with three themes emerging on chronic pain, interventions, and holistic teams. Findings suggest that OTs are successful at treating chronic pain, supporting wellness and occupational performance when their interventions are health-promoting, and clients are enabled to take an active role in their chronic pain management. This study demonstrates the critical impact OTs can have in multidisciplinary teams on clients' outcomes, such as increased occupational performance, wellness, and quality of life (QOL) through engagement in meaningful occupations.

职业治疗师管理慢性疼痛、健康和职业表现的信念和经验。

慢性疾病的预防、健康和保健已成为职业治疗的主要实践领域。疼痛康复中的职业治疗师(OTs)是综合性和多学科疼痛管理团队的重要成员，专注于通过参与来提高职业表现。本研究的目的是探讨门诊医生处理慢性疼痛的经验，并探讨门诊医生通过干预措施在支持来访者健康和职业表现方面的有效性。11名临床医生(n = 11)参与了慢性疼痛、干预和整体团队三个主题的研究。研究结果表明，当他们的干预措施促进健康时，门诊医生在治疗慢性疼痛方面是成功的，支持健康和职业表现，并且客户能够在慢性疼痛管理中发挥积极作用。本研究表明，在多学科团队中，职业治疗师可以通过参与有意义的职业来提高客户的职业绩效、健康和生活质量(QOL)。
