Theater has long-standing roots in social justice and holds promise for reducing racist attitudes and behaviors. Objectives of this study were to (a) collect and theatrically portray narratives from Black occupational therapy students and practitioners to a national audience and (b) examine the impact of the theatrical performance on anti-Black racism among attendees. The Identity Development Evolution and Sharing (IDEAS) model guided translation of narratives into a filmed performance. Paired -test of pre/post administration of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Stigma (AAQ-S) measured changes in stigma beliefs. Qualitative thematic analysis of an open-ended post-survey question elucidated experiences of the performance. The performance engendered significant decreases in stigma; qualitative data elucidated potential mechanisms of change. This study provides insight into experiences of anti-Black racism within occupational therapy and offers a promising means for occupational therapists to engage in anti-Black racism.
戏剧在社会正义方面有着悠久的历史，并且有望减少种族主义态度和行为。本研究的目的是：(a) 收集并向全国观众展示黑人职业治疗学生和从业者的叙事；(b) 考察戏剧表演对与会者反黑人种族主义的影响。身份发展演变与分享（IDEAS）模型指导将叙事转化为拍摄的表演。接受和行动问卷-耻辱感（AAQ-S）的配对测试测量了耻辱感信念的变化。对问卷调查中一个开放式问题的定性主题分析阐明了对表演的体验。表演显著降低了耻辱感；定性数据阐明了潜在的变化机制。本研究深入了解了职业治疗中的反黑人种族主义经历，并为职业治疗师参与反黑人种族主义提供了一种有前途的方式。
