The purpose of this article is to describe the methodology used in order to develop the Model of Occupational Self Efficacy: An occupational therapy practice model to facilitate returning to work after a brain injury.
Nine males and one female participated in the study.
Face to face, semi structured individual interviews were conducted and data were analyzed using a qualitative approach to explicate patterns and themes. The study was conducted in two phases, namely, Phase one described the lived experience of individuals with brain injury who had returned to work and Phase two described the development of the model by means of theory generation methodology.
Four themes emerged that reflected the lived experiences for people returning to work after a brain injury. (1) A sense of loss of former self; (2) Uncertainty about the future; (3) The road to acceptance and believing in yourself; and (4) Participation in occupation enables growth. The above themes contributed to the central concept called Occupational Self Efficacy that resulted in the development of the occupational therapy practice model.
The findings of the study suggest that theory generation methodology is adequate for the conceptual development of an occupational therapy practice model.
本文旨在描述为开发职业自我效能模型所采用的方法，该模型是一种职业治疗实践模型，用于促进脑损伤后重返工作岗位。
9名男性和1名女性参与了该研究。
进行了面对面的半结构化个体访谈，并采用定性方法分析数据，以阐明模式和主题。该研究分两个阶段进行，第一阶段描述已重返工作岗位的脑损伤个体的生活经历，第二阶段通过理论生成方法描述模型的开发过程。
出现了四个主题，反映了脑损伤后重返工作岗位的人们的生活经历。（1）对从前自我的失落感；（2）对未来的不确定性；（3）接受并相信自己的道路；（4）参与职业活动促进成长。上述主题促成了名为职业自我效能的核心概念，从而产生了职业治疗实践模型。
该研究结果表明，理论生成方法适用于职业治疗实践模型的概念开发。
