Résumé
Les professionnels de santé, particulièrement les étudiants en formation dans ce domaine, ignorent parfois les rôles, les tâches et les compétences des ergothérapeutes. Or, il semble essentiel de les informer à ce sujet dès le début de leur formation afin de favoriser la collaboration interprofessionnelle. Divers moyens existent pour faire connaître l'ergothérapie, mais avec des jeunes adultes, il s'avère nécessaire de tenir compte de leurs caractéristiques spécifiques. En effet, ils sont des utilisateurs quotidiens de technologies d'information et de communication. Ce texte résume l'expérimentation d'une web-série visant à accroître les connaissances et la compréhension de l'ergothérapie chez des étudiants suisses romands en Année Propédeutique Santé (APS) lors de l'année scolaire 2015-2016. Pour documenter les retombées de la web-série, 62 étudiants de trois Hautes Écoles de la Santé ont complété un sondage avant le visionnement de la web-série et sept l'ont fait après. La discussion explore les avantages et les limites de l'utilisation de ce médium pour promouvoir l'ergothérapie.
Health professionals, particularly those trained in this field, may not know the roles, tasks and skills of occupational therapists. It seems essential to inform them about this at the beginning of their training in order to encourage interprofessional collaboration. There are a variety of ways to promote occupational therapy, but with young adults, it is necessary to take into account their specific characteristics. Indeed, they are daily users of information and communication technologies. This text summarizes the experimentation of a web-series aimed at increasing the knowledge and understanding of occupational therapy in Swiss francophone students in the Année Propédeutique Santé (APS) during the school year 2015-2016. To document the impact of the web-series, 62 students from three Hautes Écoles de la Sante completed a survey before viewing the web-series and seven did so after. The discussion explores the advantages and limitations of using this medium to promote occupational therapy.
