Rising student enrolments have intensified pressure on universities to secure sufficient practice education opportunities, prompting exploration of alternative models and emerging settings. The research setting, with supervision provided by occupational therapists working in research roles, presents a promising but under\u2010utilised option for practice education.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objective<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study aimed to explore the perspectives and experiences of occupational therapy and physiotherapy students, practitioners, and university educators on placements in a research setting.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Semi\u2010structured interviews (n\u2009=\u200930) were conducted with occupational therapy and physiotherapy students, practitioners with experience working in research\u2010specific roles, and university educators. The Theoretical Domains Framework guided the development of the interview schedules. Participants were recruited using purposeful and snowball sampling. Data were analysed thematically.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Consumer and Community Involvement<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The interview schedule was developed in consultation with research practitioners and university educators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Practice education is occurring within research settings, though it is not yet common, with generally positive perceptions reported among those involved. Participants viewed these placements as an opportunity to strengthen research confidence, develop research readiness, and generate interest, alongside meeting core placement competencies. For some participants, practice education in a research setting was a new concept. University educators questioned whether all research settings could satisfy accreditation requirements. Seven themes were identified: research confidence, professional responsibility, sparking interest, missed opportunity, accreditation requirements, fear of missing out on client contact, and risks to the research quality.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Utilisation of the research setting for practice education may strengthen students' understanding of how evidence is generated and translated into practice, helping to address persistent concerns about low research confidence and engagement. Effective implementation will require collaboratively developed models that reflect the needs of all stakeholders. Ongoing trial and evaluation are essential to determine feasibility, educational value, and impact.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1440-1630.70112","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]],"date-time":"2026-08-04T13:41:59Z","timestamp":1785850919000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Experiences and perceptions of occupational therapy and physiotherapy practice education in research settings"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"73","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9811-9214","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amy","family":"Lonergan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Health Sciences Flinders University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0845-5459","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Miia","family":"Rahja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Medicine and Public Health Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute, Flinders University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamina","family":"Levy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Health Sciences Flinders University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"},{"name":"Division of Rehabilitation, Aged and Palliative Care Southern Adelaide Local Health Network  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0259-2209","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kate","family":"Laver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing and Health Sciences Flinders University  Adelaide South Australia Australia"},{"name":"Division of Rehabilitation, Aged and Palliative Care Southern Adelaide Local Health Network  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","volume-title":"Occupational therapy\u2014Workforce analysis","author":"Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency & National Boards","year":"2022"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","volume-title":"Health workforce","author":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare","year":"2024"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","volume-title":"Guidelines for accreditation, entry\u2010level physiotherapy practitioner programs of study","author":"Australian Physiotherapy Council","year":"2025"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_6_1","volume-title":"Qualitative inquiry & research design : Choosing among five approaches","author":"Creswell J.
