Abstract | The development and content of an occupational therapy intervention promoting emotional well-being, for children with subclinical anxiety, is described. Development and trialing followed a four-step process: (1) reviewing theory, (2) reviewing evidence, (3) incorporating expert opinion, and (4) trialing. The intervention consists of eight group sessions, led by an occupational therapist, over 8 weeks of an academic term. Its proposed outcomes will be achieved by providing children with knowledge about health promoting occupations and how to participate in, balance, and sustain these. This article offers a guideline for the development and description of similar interventions to facilitate more robust evaluation of clinical practice. |
