Abstract
This qualitative study utilized data gathered from semi-structured interviews with four clients, their families, and occupational therapists (OTs) from a local skilled nursing unit (SNU) about the personal meaning of roles, activities, and how these meanings can shape the goal setting process in OT practice. The purpose of the study was to examine client goals which were based on meaningful life experiences and the congruence of these with goals set by treating OTs as well as goals expressed by the client's family or caregiver. Results indicated that goal setting during OT intervention may be enhanced by exploring clients' meaningful life experiences including past and current roles, responsibilities, and activities which are particularly meaningful to individual client's and their families or caregivers.
