Assignment
ENAIP:

employment

Assignment questions:

What is the current way of working regarding the

returning to workproces with a disability by ENAIP?

2.

Do professionals of ENAIP express a need of change of

their current way of working?

3.

while being guided by ENAIP?

Clients
People with foreign background and different
cultures (anything but not the Belgian
background/culture)
Some have a disability not our focus

Research question
First question
What OT interventions, strategies, treatment and/or
approaches are available to support the
(re-)integration into employment of clients with a
foreign background and a disability?
Second question (we changed it because there were
no disabilities)
What OT interventions, strategies, treatment and/or
approaches are available to support the
(re-)integration into employment of clients with a
foreign background?

Literature search
We searched in Pubmed and CINAHL (and Google Scholar)
Terms we used:

Foreigners
Immigrants
Occupational therapy

Employment

We ended up with 6 relevant articles. One of them is our guideline

to continue:
Enabling immigrants to overcome participation challenges,
Jyothi Gupta and Catherine Sullivan (2008)

Methods for gathering

data
Search with PICO elements
Use of the snowball-method
Random search
Interviews with one employee of ENAIP
Use of the 7-s model

Ideas of how to continue

Contact ENAIP that they can make an appointment
with the clients and employees for an interview
Prepare the interview (pilot)
Read the relevant articles
Order the data in the Occupational Therapy
Practice Framework
Asking about assessments and tests they use at
the moment
