Abstract
  • Background: • Combat veterans returning home report readjustment difficulties, strains on family life, and loss of interest in daily activities. • OT provides valuable physical and psychosocial rehabilitation for veterans – physical disability, assistive device training, emotional regulation, life skills, cognitive and visual impairment, community reintegration, social participation, driving rehab, and more.• Current research has not addressed how OT practitioners approach relationship-building and therapeutic interactions with combat veteran clients. Research Question: What are the interpersonal approaches to care used by occupational therapy practitioners (OTs) in interactions with clients who served in the recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, & Operation New Dawn?
