“…These positive experiences are in line with the literature such as Dolea et al (2010) andRoots and Li (2013) and can be considered when recruiting or preparing new graduates for entering the field of rural practice.Alongside the opportunities are the risk factors which are also supported by the literature. These included issues of isolation(Berg-Poppe et al, 2021;Roots & Li, 2013), feelings of not being supported effectively, or valued by their manager(Cosgrave et al, 2018), feeling overwhelmed(Turpin et al, 2021) and lacking in confidence regarding competence in the extensive range of clinical services being provided(O'Toole & School, 2010; Lee & McKenzie, 2003), as well as not feeling understood by managers or colleagues from different…”

This study focused on "What are the experiences of new graduate occupational therapists working in rural practice in Aotearoa, New Zealand?" The research question was chosen to begin to address the lack of specific information regarding current experiences of new graduate occupational therapists working amid health reforms, varied service provision requirements and increased pressure to address inequities. Utilising a qualitative methodology and an interpretive descriptive approach, six participants were included in this study. Semi-structured interviews provided the raw data on which the findings were thematically analysed. The diversity and complexity of the role of a rural practitioner was a common theme which was discussed in the context of working in bicultural Aotearoa. The importance of being able to bounce ideas around in addition to formal support and supervision was another key theme. The process of recruitment and retention in hard to staff rural areas was also discussed alongside the need for resilience when working as a new graduate in rural practice. Although the sample size was small, there were both expected and unexpected outcomes. The generalist versus specialist debates continues alongside issues of role blurring and professional identity. Having opportunities to bounce ideas around was significant in addition to the importance of belonging and connection especially when subjected to significant change. Further research is indicated into the impacts of interprofessional education, interprofessional practice, rural generalism from an allied health perspective and support and supervision structures for new graduates in rural practice.
