Abstract
This thesis was a pilot study that used a mixed quantitative and qualitative approach to survey and interview occupational therapists working in hand therapy regarding their experiences with occupation-based interventions (OBIs). The objective was to see the effectiveness of OBIs in hand therapy sessions, as well as the challenges therapists face in implementing them. Forty-three participants completed the survey, and three of those forty-three were interviewed. After analyzing our data, the importance of OBIs was evident regardless of the challenges they posed, however, participants emphasized how critical it was that OBIs are used appropriately in relation to type of injury and stage of healing. After analyzing our data, we were able to create a resource guide that addressed the challenges and limitations to OBIs, solutions to these challenges as reported by our participants, and intervention ideas for OBIs. The resource was given to our three interview participants for feedback; however, we did receive any responses which may be due to our present situation with COVID-19.
