abstract: 'Introduction: In most Western countries occupational therapy is well
established as a crucial aspect of overall health care; however, in
low-middle-income countries it is still an emerging profession. This
article investigates the role of occupational therapy in the Solomon
Islands by examining the experiences and perceptions of occupational
therapists (OTs) and other rehabilitation health workers who have worked
there.
Methods: Using a qualitative research design, participants were
recruited using purposive sampling, and data were gathered through
in-depth interviews, diary entries and observations of an occupational
therapy setting in the Solomon Islands. Ten participants were
interviewed.
Results: A significant role in health-promoting practices was revealed
through the various tasks undertaken by OTs in the Solomon Islands,
including influencing health policy and practice broadly through
advocacy and education. Challenges relating to geography, cultural,
language and resource barriers, and professional practice issues were
identified. Implications for practice were drawn from the data including
the need for culturally safe practice, pragmatism, creativity and
practising across disciplinary boundaries.
Conclusions: Results illustrate a clear role for occupational therapy in
promoting health and sustainability of rehabilitation therapy services
in the Solomon Islands, which also have relevance throughout Pacific
island nations.'
