The purpose of our study is to examine occupational therapy practitioners' improved knowledge of issues of occupational justice and indication of intent to incorporate it into individual practice after completion of an educational workshop. Twelve occupational therapy practitioners participated in a pre-test post-test study that included a one-day 4-hour workshop. The workshop focused on the concept of occupational justice and how it can be facilitated into everyday practice. Prior to the workshop, participants were given the opportunity to complete a pre-workshop survey inquiring about their knowledge of occupational justice. Two post-tests were sent out one week and four weeks after workshop to observe a change in understanding and an intent to implement into practice. The results indicated that occupational therapy practitioners who participated in a one-day workshop focused on occupational justice were more likely to facilitate these concepts into practice. A one-day intensive workshop focusing on the concepts of occupational justice can potentially improve knowledge and facilitation of these concepts into practice.
