50 Studies Every Occupational Therapist Should Know is the first book of its kind in occupational therapy (OT). It is an excellent resource for healthcare students and practitioners seeking to gain a better understanding of the breadth and depth of the field and covers a wide range of topics within six key practice areas in OT: productive aging, health and wellness, work and industry, rehabilitation and disability, children and youth, and mental health. Each chapter discusses one influential study, reviews its key findings, limitations, related studies, and implications for practice, and concludes with a case study that applies the research to a clinical vignette. This is the only book that summarizes occupational therapy research in an accessible, user-friendly manner. Experienced clinicians will find it a useful reference for classic studies in the field, and an overview of influential research outside their area of specialization. Educators will appreciate its utility for teaching critical appraisal of research and highlighting the scope of occupational therapy practice. Students and new clinicians will find thought-provoking case studies directly applicable to scenarios they may encounter in their clinical work, demonstrating the role of research in evidence-based practice. It is a must-read for everyone interested in better understanding the evidence informing occupational therapy practice.
