  Authors conducted this study to determined occupational therapy practitioners perceptions of the following aspects of intervention planning: economics, ethics, independent professional judgment, and evidence-based practice. 142 occupational therapy practitioners participated in a cross-sectional survey for this study. Authors found that occupational therapists fell into one of four clusters, with the largest cluster having positive perceptions about ethics and independent professional judgment but negative perceptions about economic issues. Smaller clusters of occupational therapists were more positive about economic issues or less positive about ethics and independent professional judgment. Negative perceptions about the ability to implement evidence-based practice spanned all clusters. Authors concluded that most occupational therapists exercise independent professional judgment but perceive economic limitations when developing intervention plans. Practicing occupational therapists need additional research to support evidence-based practice and help in accessing and using research.
