职业治疗是一个以世界职业治疗师联合会（WFOT）为代表的全球性专业。全球职业治疗实践的战略指导需要国际研究重点。本研究的目的是制定国际研究重点，以反映全球职业治疗实践。利用三轮电子调查进行了德尔菲研究，并分发给世界林业基金成员组织和世界林业基金认可的大学。数据在每一轮后进行分析，并提出优先级评级和排序的重要性。世贸组织87个成员国中有46个（53%）参加了德尔菲程序。最后一轮电子调查确定了八项研究重点。成员组织和大学受访者给出的排名存在差异。尽管在第三轮的减员，最终的研究重点将有助于集中研究工作的职业治疗全球。需要进行后续研究，以确定如何在国际上采用研究优先事项。
Occupational therapy is a global profession represented by the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT). International research priorities are needed for strategic guidance on global occupational therapy practice. The objective of this study was to develop international research priorities to reflect global occupational therapy practice. A Delphi study using three rounds of electronic surveys, distributed to WFOT member organizations and WFOT accredited universities, was conducted. Data were analyzed after each round, and priorities were presented for rating and ranking in order of importance. Forty-six (53%) out of 87 WFOT member countries participated in the Delphi process. Eight research priorities were confirmed by the final electronic survey round. Differences were observed in rankings given by member organizations and university respondents. Despite attrition at Round 3, the final research priorities will help to focus research efforts in occupational therapy globally. Follow-up research is needed to determine how the research priorities are being adopted internationally.
