A community-based occupational therapy program aims to provide client-centered and occupation-based interventions to at-risk youth.
This pilot study explores how at-risk youth experiencing psychosocial and environmental barriers to occupation respond to client-centered and occupation-based occupational therapy in the community.
One-on-one semi-structured interviews were conducted with five youth participants receiving individual therapy interventions through a community-based occupational therapy program. The transcript data were analyzed qualitatively.
Three themes emerged: (i) client-centered and occupation-based OT interventions, (ii) the youths' increased self-advocacy, and (iii) the enhancement of youths' perception of their future.
The youth in this study described OT interventions exemplifying client-centered and occupation-based therapy, a non-prescriptive approach that validates the individual and may prove especially effective in serving the at-risk youth population.
一项基于社区的职业治疗项目旨在为高危青少年提供以客户为中心和基于职业的干预措施。
这项试点研究探讨了面临职业方面心理社会和环境障碍的高危青少年如何应对社区中以客户为中心和基于职业的职业治疗。
对五名通过基于社区的职业治疗项目接受个体治疗干预的青少年参与者进行了一对一的半结构化访谈。对转录数据进行了定性分析。
出现了三个主题：（i）以客户为中心和基于职业的职业治疗干预措施，（ii）青少年自我倡导能力的增强，以及（iii）青少年对其未来认知的提升。
本研究中的青少年描述了体现以客户为中心和基于职业治疗的职业治疗干预措施，这是一种非规定性方法，认可个体，可能在服务高危青少年群体方面特别有效。
