Abstract
Date Presented 04/02/2022
Investigators examined encounters with ethical issues in the first 5 years of practice by surveying 125 OT practitioners. Most common ethical issues included productivity and billing, compromised care as a result of cost containment, and therapeutic relationship issues. Those in practice longer than 1 year or practicing in adult or older adult settings experienced a greater number of ethical issues. Future studies to explore interventions for moral distress and ethical issues are indicated.
