Cultural Competency in Occupational Therapy: Beyond a Cross-Cultural View of Practice

Abstract: The purposes of this paper are two. The first purpose is to contribute to cultural competence in occupational therapy practice. The second is to contribute to occupational therapy literature about culture and cultural analysis related to practice. This paper introduces a cultural analysis of stories about the therapeutic process with two Japanese therapists and their Japanese patients. Two therapeutic situations, including therapists' and their patients' experiences, are interpreted by the author, a Japanese o… Show more

“…The cognitive dissonance that occurs with students who have entrenched individualistic values encountering such dichotomy creates a sensitivity to cultural implications that will hopefully translate into practice. These critical incidents, described in the context of occupational therapy by Odawara (2005), allow opportunities for self-reflection on one's own cultural beliefs, biases, and assumptions as well as identification of the client's culture and implications on the OT process. Odawara (2005) described the critical incident approach to enhance the cultural competence of OTs through reflection on stories of the therapeutic process between Japanese patients and providers.…”

“…These differences provided the impetus to develop a new scale to assessing cultural awareness in Latin America, based on recently published theoretical data and empirical data collected from local practitioners (CASTRO; DAHLIN-IVANOFF; MÅRTENSSON, 2016a, b). The use of the two instruments in research also differs as since publication, the CASQ has been used in four related studies, whereas the ECCETO has not been used (CASTRO; DAHLIN-IVANOFF; MÅRTENSSON, 2016a;CHERRY et al, 2009;CHEUNG;SHAH;MUNCER, 2002;KALE;SWEE HONG, 2007;MURDEN et al, 2008;RASMUSSEN et al, 2005). Further investigation is required with larger groups of students to fully compare both instruments.…”

“…Further exploration should also focus on the development of similar scales for practitioners and faculties, and in other regions outside English-speaking countries, where the currently available scale has been designed and implemented (CHERRY et al, 2009;CHEUNG;SHAH;MUNCER, 2002;KALE;SWEE HONG, 2007;MURDEN et al, 2008;RASMUSSEN et al, 2005). Socio-historical conditions and practice contexts for occupational therapists also need to be addressed when research is being designed (GUAJARDO; KRONENBERG; RAMUGONDO, 2015).…”
