General working conditions and task autonomy were significant determinants of commitment among OTRs working in ambulatory care settings. Salary and supervision were significant predictors of commitment among hospital OTRs. Given the demand for OTRs in ambulatory care and hospital settings, a better understanding of significant determinants that influence organizational commitments among OTRs could prove beneficial in developing recruitment and retention job design strategies. Abstract Task analysis is one of the essential components of activity analysis. Procedural task analysis involves breaking down an activity into a sequence of steps.
Directions become a guide for caregivers or trainers to use in teaching clients a specific skill.
However, occupational therapy students often have difficulty in writing directions that are clear enough for caregivers or trainers to carry out. Books on activity analysis only provide examples of directions without giving guidelines on how to perform the writing process. The purposes of this paper are to describe the process of procedural task analysis and to provide a guideline for writing steps of directions. The purpose of this study was to explore the characteristics of pet therapy which promote positive experiences and health in the elderly. The findings supported previous research by providing evidence of the value of pet visitation.
