Abstract
Purpose : This study phenomenologically explores and describes the experiences of pediatric occupational therapists during parents consultation. Method : In this study, Colaizzi's phenomenological research method was applied. Telephone interview was conducted with six people who had more than eight years of clinical experience in pediatric occupational therapy and were working at a private center. Each interview was recorded with the consent of the subject and analyzed after transcription. Results : In this study, 21 themes, 4 theme clusters, and 2 categories were derived. The categories were the importance of parents consultation and factors influencing parents consultation. The theme clusters were the meaning of parents counseling, the reciprocity of the parent, the child and the therapist, the efforts of the therapist, and the competencies required of the occupational therapist. Conclusion : The results of this study may be helpful for first-time pediatric occupational therapists who are having difficulties with parents consultation. This work can also be used as basic data for developing educational programs and materials for improving the parental consultation skills of pediatric occupational therapists in the future.
