Résumé Description générale. La pratique centrée sur le client englobe d’importants concepts sur le partenariat et la justice qui favorisent la participation du client à des occupations significatives. Il est important de comprendre comment les ergothérapeutes peuvent adopter une pratique centrée sur le client et continuer d’exercer ce genre de pratique dans les limites quotidiennes des milieux de pratique. But et méthodologie. Une étude de recherche-action a été entreprise par un groupe formé de quatre ergothérapeutes, en vue de décrire leurs réflexions introspectives et de montrer l’efficacité de la participation à une formation réflexive visant à favoriser la pratique centrée sur le client. Résultats. Les six principales réflexions découlant des travaux de ce groupe font référence : à la congruence, à la compréhension des possibilités, aux facteurs environnementaux, aux facteurs personnels, aux attentes et à l’apprentissage tout au long de la vie. Conséquences pour la pratique. Bien que les changements apportés actuellement à la pratique quotidienne soient limités, les membres du groupe ont eu le sentiment que la discussion réflexive en groupe leur avait donné une base pour amorcer leur périple vers une pratique davantage centrée sur le client. Ceci pourrait être la clé permettant d’aller au-delà d’un changement de l’image et du langage de la pratique de l’ergothérapie, et de tendre vers une plus grande compréhension et mise en oeuvre de la pratique centrée sur le client, afin d’améliorer les résultats du client. Des pistes de réflexion sont données en vue de faire avancer la pratique individuelle. Abstract Background. Client-centred practice embraces important concepts about partnership and justice that promote client participation in meaningful occupations. It is important to understand how occupational therapists can engage in and continue to develop client-centred practice within the constraints of everyday settings. Purpose and Methods. An action research study was undertaken by a group of four occupational therapists to describe insights gained, and to show the effectiveness of participation in reflective education to help foster client-centred practice. Results. The six main insights generated by the group involve: congruence, understanding the potential, environmental factors, personal factors, expectations, and lifelong learning. Practice Implications. Although actual change to daily practice was limited, group members felt the reflective group discussion provided them with a launch pad to start a journey toward more client-centred practice. This may be the key to moving beyond simply changing the face and language of occupational therapy practice toward a deeper understanding and implementation of client-centred practice to improve client outcomes. Suggestions are provided for implementing reflection to help continue to develop your own practice.
