Abstract
Mindfulness is the awareness that arrives from purposefully paying non-judgmental attention to the present moment (Kabat-Zinn, 2013). Mindfulness-based interventions are becoming more widely used in occupational therapy (OT) practices for a variety of conditions and in different practice settings. Occupational therapists (OTs) can use mindfulness to increase occupational performance and engagement in clients. A literature review was conducted to support the efficacy of mindfulness in the context of occupational therapy practice settings. This manual was created to provide occupational therapy professionals, educators, and students with mindfulness-based OT assessments and evidence-based interventions that can be used with clients in various settings and with various clinical conditions. The manual was read by expert reviewers and edits were made according to the feedback. The final manual serves as a tool to support clinicians, students, and educators to promote mindfulness in the field of occupational therapy.
