本研究的目的是确定约旦卫生专业人员是否对职业治疗有足够的了解。来自两家医院的556名约旦医生、护士和物理治疗师完成了一份关于职业治疗的调查问卷，包括一般知识、实践领域、治疗目标、治疗策略和认知。结果显示，物理治疗师比医生和护士更了解职业治疗，尽管三组的职业治疗知识水平有限。除了探讨提高专业意识的想法外，还讨论了结果的含义。
The purpose of this study was to determine if Jordanian health professionals have adequate understanding of occupational therapy. A convenience sample of 556 Jordanian physicians, nurses, and physical therapists from two hospitals completed a developed questionnaire about occupational therapy including general knowledge, areas of practice, therapy goals, treatment strategies, and perceptions. Results showed that physical therapists were more informed about occupational therapy than physicians and nurses, although the level of knowledge of occupational therapy was limited for all three groups. The implications of the results are discussed in addition to exploring ideas about improving the awareness of the profession.
