Understanding Occupational Therapists' Knowledge and Confidence When Assessing for Spatial Neglect: A Special Issue Review

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Most respondents, despite reporting high levels of confidence with routine SN assessments, did not use standardized SN measures and demonstrated suboptimal knowledge of SN. These results emphasize the need to increase clinical education about SN and its assessments. Plain-Language Summary: This study gathered baseline information on an underinvestigated topic-occupational therapists' education, confidence, current practices, barriers, and facilitators when assessing for spatial neglect in adult stroke survivors. The study results also contribute to future research on occupational therapists' current confidence and knowledge when assessing for spatial neglect.PMID:38393991 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2024.050354
