Abstract

ABSTRACT: A major concern of occupational therapy (OT) fieldwork educators (FEs) is that supervising students takes increased time and could lead to reduced productivity. A standardized tool to measure time-use while supervising OT students has not been developed. The purpose of this study was to gain consensus on items to include in a time-use tool. Utilizing a modified Delphi, ten experienced OT FEs completed a two-round online survey. Round 1 presented time-use items, whereas Round 2 obtained consensus. Twenty-eight (28) items were presented and agreed upon by FEs. Results will aid development of a standardized tool for assessing productivity.
