ABSTRACT
Illness-induced trauma (IIT) might cause a disruption in an individual’s occupational performance. To examine occupational therapy practitioners’ (OTPs) perspectives and role in addressing IIT. In this descriptive mixed-methods design, 24 OTPs completed an online survey and 10 OTPs participated in a semi-structured 1:1 interview. Survey questions asked about knowledge regarding IIT. Interviews addressed incorporation of IIT knowledge and trauma-informed care (TIC) into practice. Quantitative results showed most OTPs (64%) did not receive TIC training and believed training was inadequate. Qualitative results indicated three major themes: “Impact on Rehabilitation,” “Variety of OT Approaches for IIT,” and “Barriers to Providing Trauma-Informed Care.” Although OTPs report inconsistencies with incorporating TIC into practice, there are similarities with foundational OT skills and TIC. Findings suggest OTPs utilize a TIC approach to support clients with IIT to process and re-engage in meaningful occupations.
