The purpose of this study was to determine if Jordanian health professionals have adequate understanding of occupational therapy. A convenience sample of 556 Jordanian physicians, nurses, and physical therapists from two hospitals completed a developed questionnaire about occupational therapy including general knowledge, areas of practice, therapy goals, treatment strategies, and perceptions. Results showed that physical therapists were more informed about occupational therapy than physicians and nurses, although the level of knowledge of occupational therapy was limited for all three groups. The implications of the results are discussed in addition to exploring ideas about improving the awareness of the profession.
