Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol. 82 Issue 3 (Mars 2019) . - p. 186-194 Titre : Contemporary factors shaping the professional identity of occupational therapy lecturers Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John O'Shea ; Simon McGrath Année de publication : 2019 Article en page(s) : p. 186-194 Note générale : doi.org/10.1177/0308022618796777 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Professional identity  neoliberalism  evidence-based practice  occupational therapy Résumé : Introduction The contemporary factors of neoliberalism and evidence-based practice have implications for professional autonomy and values, education and training, ways of working and construction of knowledge. Occupational therapy lecturers are at the interface between student education and professional practice and therefore have unique insights into the way in which these factors are shaping their professional identity and that of the profession. Method Nine narrative inquiry focused interviews of occupational therapy lecturers from two universities were carried out. Data was interpreted through a Bourdieusian lens of professional habitus, and analysed thematically. Findings The main factors influencing occupational therapy lecturer identity were noted to be relationships between professional identity and artistry; the professional body of knowledge and language; evidencing practice, neoliberalism and changes to teaching and learning. Conclusion The structural factors of neoliberalism, evidence-based practice and associated policies are influencing the occupational therapy professional habitus and, in turn, occupational therapy lecturers’ professional identity. An effective critique of these structural factors is required to maintain the profession’s values and artistry and the knowledge upon which occupational therapy lecturers’ identity is formed and their approaches to teaching and learning are based.
