Psychology Occupational Therapy Psychotherapy Families and Family Life child-therapist therapeutic alliance therapeutic relationships pediatric occupational therapy child patients parents of child clients parent-therapist therapeutic alliance Working Alliance Inventory Therapeutic Alliance Scales for Children Knowledge on the significance of therapeutic alliance in pediatric occupational therapy would allow occupational therapists (OTs) to provide more effective care to children. This study investigated the correlation between therapeutic alliance for OTs and both child patients and their parents, and therapeutic progress of children. The study also investigated the correlation between therapeutic alliance among these individuals and family adherence. Twenty-five parents participated, reporting their therapeutic alliance with the OTs, as well as the child-therapist alliance. Four OTs reported on their own alliance with child patients and their parents, as well as progress of the child on OT goals. Both parents and OTs reported on adherence. Results showed that with the parent-therapist therapeutic alliance, therapist report of bond and collaboration were both significantly associated with therapeutic outcome of the child client and family adherence from the therapist perspective. Results also showed that with child-therapist therapeutic alliance, parent report of bond and collaboration were both significantly associated with therapeutic outcome of the child and therapist report of collaboration was associated with therapeutic outcome of the child and therapist report of family adherence. This study contributes to a better understanding of factors that correlate with better patient progress in pediatric occupational therapy. 2019 English text Wittenberg University Honors Theses / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wuhonors1617637354771075 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=wuhonors1617637354771075 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
