Abstract
This article describes an intervention model for occupational therapists who treat individuals awaiting pulmonary transplantation. Supportive occupational therapy interventions aimed at helping patients cope with the physical and psychosocial stresses that impede functional performance are described. Psychosocial and physical indicators of the functional status of pulmonary transplant candidates that may be amenable to occupational therapy intervention are identified. Treatment issues related to occupational therapy are presented and implications for occupational therapy research are suggested. The model may also be applied to patient populations having chronic, debilitating illnesses.
