This study used a Delphi survey method to identify research priorities of occupational therapists working in mental health. Twenty-two subjects were initially surveyed for their suggestions regarding research topics they thought were important. These 22 subjects represent a random sample of 12.4% of national OT-Australia membership of occupational therapists working in mental health. After three "rounds" of the Delphi methodology, consensus research priorities were obtained in six areas: research of value to clients (5 topics); research of value to occupational therapists working in mental health (4 topics); research related to providing community care for clients (2 topics); research that facilitates health promotion and disease prevention (6 topics); research that is of value to the profession of occupational therapy (6 topics); and research that is of value to occupational therapy education (4 topics). Implications for occupational therapy practice and re search are discussed.
本研究采用德尔菲调查法来确定从事心理健康工作的职业治疗师的研究重点。最初对22名受试者进行了调查，询问他们对认为重要的研究课题的建议。这22名受试者是从澳大利亚职业治疗师协会中从事心理健康工作的职业治疗师全国会员的12.4%中随机抽取的样本。经过三轮德尔菲法，在六个领域获得了共识研究重点：对客户有价值的研究（5个课题）；对从事心理健康工作的职业治疗师有价值的研究（4个课题）；与为客户提供社区护理相关的研究（2个课题）；促进健康和疾病预防的研究（6个课题）；对职业治疗专业有价值的研究（6个课题）；以及对职业治疗教育有价值的研究（4个课题）。文中还讨论了对职业治疗实践和研究的启示。
