Contemporary occupational therapy philosophy and practice in hospital settings.

Conclusion and Significance: Findings highlighted therapists value occupation as an important aspect of practice, however they experience many environmental and personal challenges in acute settings. Strategies to overcome these challenges related to individual's changing their practice to be more occupation-focussed and changes within the practice context including adapting environments, documentation and intervention protocols to focus on occupation. These strategies may support therapists to align practice with their professional values. PMID: 32356478 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
