Clinical education is a bridge between theory and practice. The purpose of this study was to develop strategies to promote the quality of occupational therapy fieldwork education. The qualitative content analysis was used to identify the promoting strategies of fieldwork quality in occupational therapy from students' and fieldwork educators' perspectives during the 2019-2020 academic sessions. Participants were 12 fieldwork educators (mean age=39.33 yr, Male=5, female 7) and 14 students (mean age=23.28 yr, Male=7, female 7) in the code extraction phase and 16 fieldwork educators (12 of them were in code extraction phase too) in actions of strategies scoring phase. Following the content analysis of the data, the prompting strategies categorized into 4 major categories and 10 subcategories: factors related to Fieldwork educators (Improving clinical teaching skills, Enhancing fieldwork management skills, Motivating fieldwork educators, and Fostering coordination between fieldwork educators), related to Educational Planning (Modifying clinical fieldwork planning, Revising curriculums), related to Students (Empowering students, Motivating students) and related to Fieldwork settings ( Improving the social environment, Improving physical environment ). Based on the qualitative content analysis and 3 expert panels. Finally, the 23 promoting actions were identified. Improving the quality of fieldwork education in occupational therapy needs a systematic collaboration between educators, students, and educational planners. Doing the promoting actions on fieldwork education process in occupational therapy may improve the quality of fieldwork education process.
临床教育是理论与实践之间的桥梁。本研究的目的是制定策略以提高职业治疗实习教育的质量。采用定性内容分析法，从学生和实习教育工作者的角度，确定2019 - 2020学年职业治疗实习质量的促进策略。在编码提取阶段，参与者有12名实习教育工作者（平均年龄 = 39.33岁，男性5名，女性7名）和14名学生（平均年龄 = 23.28岁，男性7名，女性7名）；在策略评分行动阶段，有16名实习教育工作者（其中12名也参与了编码提取阶段）。在对数据进行内容分析之后，促进策略分为4个主要类别和10个子类别：与实习教育工作者相关的因素（提高临床教学技能、增强实习管理技能、激励实习教育工作者、促进实习教育工作者之间的协调）、与教育规划相关的因素（修改临床实习规划、修订课程）、与学生相关的因素（增强学生能力、激励学生）以及与实习环境相关的因素（改善社会环境、改善物理环境）。基于定性内容分析和3个专家小组。最终，确定了23项促进行动。提高职业治疗实习教育的质量需要教育工作者、学生和教育规划者之间进行系统的协作。在职业治疗实习教育过程中采取促进行动可能会提高实习教育过程的质量。
