Within occupational therapy and the healthcare community there are calls to
promote professionalism through self-awareness and emotional intelligence training
(Andonian, 2017), as well as improve therapeutic rapport and performance during clinical
fieldwork (Brown, Williams, & Etherington, 2016). Based on literature reviews, an
effective way to incorporate training is through mobile applications (Kron, 2016).
However, there is limited evidence within the occupational therapy literature to help
occupational therapy programs develop self-awareness curriculum. This doctoral project
(1) identifies a mobile phone application for occupational therapy students (2)
investigates evidence and best practice in developing self-awareness training (3) develops
an outline for development of a mobile phone application (4) identifies implementation
strategies and (5) identifies evaluation plan. The project’s evaluation results will
contribute to three areas within occupational therapy: addressing specific needs of self
awareness training (Allen, Montgomery, Tubman, Frazier, & Escovar, 2003), providing
more evidenced-based education (AOTA, 2017; Bakker, Kazantzis, Rickwood, &
Rickard, 2016), and building self-awareness training into occupational therapy
curriculum (Carvalho, et al., 2011; Andonian, 2017). / 2019-10-23T00:00:00Z
