«Flexible Assertive Community Treatment» (FACT) ble utviklet for oppfølging av personer med alvorlig psykisk lidelse. Ergoterapeuter blir ikke nevnt som yrkesgruppe i FACT-håndboken, men noen team har likevel ansatt ergoterapeut. Hensikten med denne studien var å belyse hvordan ergoterapeuter beskriver at de bruker sin fagkompetanse i et FACT-team. Individuelle intervjuer ble gjennomført med seks ergoterapeuter. Tematisk analyse ble anvendt. Resultatene viser at informantene bruker sin fagkompetanse gjennom fremming av meningsfulle aktiviteter, kartlegging av aktivitetsutførelse og fokus på omgivelsenes betydning for aktivitetsutførelse og deltakelse. Ergoterapeutenes tilnærmingsmåter er i tråd med målene og prinsippene i FACT-modellen. Studien tyder på at ergoterapeuters fagkompetanse kan bidra til å styrke FACT-teamene. What competence can occupational therapists add to FACT-teams in treatment of persons with severe mental illness? - a qualitative study Abstract «Flexible Assertive Community Treatment» (FACT) has been developed to provide treatment services for persons with severe mental illness. Occupational therapists (OTs) are not mentioned in the FACT-handbook as part of the FACT-team, but some teams have included OTs. The aim of the study was to explore how OTs describe the usage of their professional expertise in FACT-teams. Individual interviews were conducted with six OTs and analysed using thematic analysis. The OTs appeared to utilise their expertise through enabling meaningful activities, assessment of activity performance, and by emphasizing the influence of environments on occupational performance and participation. Their approaches correspond with the goals and principles of FACT. This study indicates that OTs may strengthen FACT-teams.
