Abstract

Students experiencing psychosis face increased difficulties within the higher education environment with support from academic staff being identified as one of the most significant factors in reducing attrition rates. Focus groups and interviews were used to consider the experiences of eight occupational therapy academics.

Despite a small sample size, this study highlighted important considerations relating to the need for additional support and resources for academics to equip them to effectively provide student support.
