Abstract
Promoting activities and participation in home-visit occupational therapy (OT) is often based on the practical knowledge that individual occupational therapists (OTR) gain from their experiences. In order to systematize the OTR practical knowledge, we interviewed nine OTRs with more than five years of experience in home-visit OT and analyzed their narratives qualitatively. As a result, three central points emerged:intervention guidelines for home-visit OT;intervention guidelines in the context of the relationship between the patient and OTR;and introduction of tasks for activities and participation by the OTR. From these central points, we can conclude that intervention guidelines for home-visit OT and the context of the relationship between the patient and the OTR before introduction of work, are considered particularly important in the practice of home-visit OT.
