Summary

This study will check how much psychiatric clients know about occupational therapy (OT) and whether their expectations are realistic. It will also evaluate how well OT interns explain health information and conduct interviews. Researchers will develop new tools to measure these skills and gather feedback from clients, supervisors, and experts. The goal is to improve OT education and client communication.
