Practice Patterns: A Survey of Occupational Therapists in Bermuda
Douglas-Sampson, Pashé; Richards, Courtney
Voices in Education, v6 p18-33 Nov 2020
Unlike some countries, there are currently no investigational studies of the Bermuda occupational therapy workforce. A survey study was conducted to capture the viewpoint of twenty Bermudian occupational therapists regarding current healthcare services. In search of a description of the Bermuda occupational therapy service, this article will explore the characteristics and practice patterns of the occupational therapy workforce to provide data to support the public's awareness and understanding of the range of occupational therapy services in Bermuda. Participation in a survey was requested of licensed occupational therapy practitioners with the Council for Allied Health Professions by The Bermuda Occupational Therapy Association (BOTA). Analysis of the results provided occupational therapy demographics, perceptions, and clinical practices in Bermuda. Indications proposed continued data collection for promotion of the profession, protection of the profile, and scope of occupational therapy practice.
