Healthcare professionals have consistently faced ethical problems in practice, but there is little research on the types of ethical problems being faced or how prepared these professionals are to resolve those issues. This study aimed to fill the gap in the literature by exploring ethical problems encountered by occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants within the first five years of practice. Investigators sent a survey in cooperation with NBCOT to a sample of 7,800 OTs and OTAs certified within the past five years. The inclusion criteria included OT practitioners who received their NBCOT certification within the last five years. Exclusion criteria included individuals who are not OT practitioners and individuals who have received their NBCOT certification but have not worked as an OT practitioner. The survey included questions regarding demographics of participants, types of ethical problems encountered in practice, how often ethical problems were encountered, and type of education received regarding ethics. The investigators analyzed the survey through descriptive statistics, Cronbach’s Alpha, Mann-Whitney U-Test, independent samples median test, and Kruskal-Wallis. 125 OT practitioners responded to the survey. OT practitioners working in Adult and Older Adults Settings experienced more ethical problems than practitioners in pediatric settings. OTAs also experienced more ethical problems related to Compromised Care and OTs experienced more ethical problems with Therapeutic Relationships. OT practitioners who have been in practice for more than one year reported experiencing significantly more ethical problems. Implications included the need for mentoring and ethics continuing education for new practitioners. Further research in which types of ethics education best prepare practitioners to manage ethical problems is warranted.
