It is the responsibility of each occupational therapist to always act ethically and professionally in a clinical setting. However, there is little information available concerning the factors influencing ethical behavior of occupational therapists at work. Since no study has been conducted in Iran on this topic, this qualitative study aimed to identify the factors influencing ethical behavior of pediatric occupational therapists.
Twelve pediatric occupational therapists participated in this study. The sampling was purposeful, and the interviews continued until reaching data saturation. All interviews were recorded and transcribed. The data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis, and the ethics of qualitative research was considered.
The factors influencing ethical behavior were classified into four main categories including organizational factors, therapist related factors, client's family issues, and social factors.
This study identified numerous factors influencing the ethical behavior of pediatric occupational therapists that could be used to train occupational therapists, human resources managers, professional policy makers, and could also be used to conduct future researches, and produce tools.
在临床环境中，每位职业治疗师都有责任始终秉持道德和专业的态度行事。然而，关于影响职业治疗师工作中道德行为的因素，现有信息很少。由于伊朗尚未开展关于该主题的研究，本定性研究旨在确定影响儿科职业治疗师道德行为的因素。
12名儿科职业治疗师参与了本研究。抽样是有目的的，访谈持续进行直至达到数据饱和。所有访谈均进行了录音和转录。通过定性内容分析法对数据进行分析，并考虑了定性研究的伦理问题。
影响道德行为的因素分为四个主要类别，包括组织因素、治疗师相关因素、客户家庭问题和社会因素。
本研究确定了众多影响儿科职业治疗师道德行为的因素，这些因素可用于培训职业治疗师、人力资源经理、专业政策制定者，也可用于开展未来研究并制作工具。
