Fieldwork represents an important component of the education of an occupational therapist. In this study thirteen occupational therapists in small Saskatchewan occupational therapy facilities were interviewed to determine the factors and the relationships among these factors that affected their involvement in the fieldwork process. The directors of the two large occupational therapy departments in Saskatchewan, together with eight Canadian university fieldwork coordinators were interviewed for comparison purposes. The findings of the study have shown that there were four major influences affecting Saskatchewan therapists' involvement in the fieldwork program of occupational therapy students. They were: workload; feelings of isolation; the parameters of a placement; and professionalism. This study is important because it has identified significant factors for university fieldwork coordinators to consider in their contact with therapists. It has also provided a model for other similar studies.
实地考察是职业治疗师教育的一个重要组成部分。在本研究中，对萨斯喀彻温省小型职业治疗机构的13名职业治疗师进行了访谈，以确定影响他们参与实地考察过程的因素以及这些因素之间的关系。为作比较，还访谈了萨斯喀彻温省两个大型职业治疗部门的主任以及八名加拿大大学实地考察协调员。研究结果表明，有四个主要因素影响萨斯喀彻温省治疗师参与职业治疗专业学生的实地考察项目。它们是：工作量；孤立感；实习安排的参数；以及专业精神。这项研究很重要，因为它确定了大学实地考察协调员在与治疗师联系时需要考虑的重要因素。它还为其他类似研究提供了一个模型。
