Abstract
This research aimed to clarify the competencies of occupation-centered EBP. We used the Structure-Constructive Qualitative Research Method for qualitative research designs, and Steps for Coding and Theorization for qualitative data analysis. The participants were four occupational therapists. As a result, we identified four competencies:understanding EBP knowledge and skills, adoption of occupation-centered problems and outcomes, integration of diverse evidence from occupational therapy expertise, and practical references to occupational therapy theory. Findings from this study suggest that understanding EBP knowledge and skills and integrating diverse evidence are important for EBP practice based on occupational therapy expertise. These findings contribute to the development of EBP based on occupational therapy expertise.
