“I Realize I'm Part of a Greater Whole Experiencing Occupational Deprivation”: OT Students' Use of Practice Models in the Wake of COVID-19

Date Presented 04/12/21

This project describes the experiences of 37 OTD students who lived through the coronavirus pandemic and examines their reflections on how OT theories and models of practice informed their approaches to adapt to the changing context of their lives in order to continue to participate in their everyday occupations, including that of a graduate student. Content analysis was used to examine the perspectives of students' needs, supports, and mechanisms of adaption.
