Abstract
Digital storytelling (DST) is often used as a learning tool in education and nursing to elicit emotions and connect with experiences through reflection and reasoning. We developed a thesis project that focused on filling the gap in current literature about the utilization of DST in the area of occupational therapy (OT) fieldwork preparation. We recruited three OT practitioners to create digital stories showcasing their experiences in a professional setting. Eight OT students were recruited to view these stories and describe their impact on learning and preparedness for fieldwork. The project findings indicate that DST did evoke the emotions of the OT students in an impactful way, and also served as a beneficial, preparatory tool for fieldwork. Additionally, DST provided a relevant method of displaying clinical skills and interventions in various OT settings, particularly in a socially distanced setting during the COVID-19 pandemic. Further research should explore the efficacy of DST in different OT settings.
