The aim of this pilot research project was to identify the research and educational priorities of occupational therapists practising in rural New South Wales. Eight participants were recruited in the south-western region of the State. The Delphi technique was used to obtain the most reliable consensus of the research participants. Priorities emerged in four designated areas: (1) research that would be of value to clients; (2) research that would be of value in providing community care for clients; (3) research that would be of value in facilitating health promotion and disease prevention; and (4) research that would be of value to professional and educational needs. In the final phase of the study, 23 high priorities were identified. The findings of the study suggest directions for research and continuing education in occupational therapy which may benefit rural practitioners and their clients.
这个试点研究项目的目的是确定在新南威尔士州农村地区执业的职业治疗师的研究和教育重点。在该州的西南部地区招募了8名参与者。采用德尔菲技术以获得研究参与者最可靠的共识。重点出现在四个指定领域：（1）对客户有价值的研究；（2）在为客户提供社区护理方面有价值的研究；（3）在促进健康和疾病预防方面有价值的研究；（4）对专业和教育需求有价值的研究。在研究的最后阶段，确定了23个高度优先事项。该研究的结果为职业治疗的研究和继续教育提供了方向，这可能会使农村从业者及其客户受益。
