Providing healthy lifestyle interventions is a recognised role for occupational therapists. However, the existing literature fails to elucidate boundaries of this role. To begin to address this gap in the literature, this study explored the attitudes, actions and beliefs of mental health occupational therapists about providing diet\u2010related interventions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Semi\u2010structured interviews were conducted with mental health occupational therapists working in one Area Health Service in New South Wales. Purposive sampling was used. Data were analysed using Constructivist Grounded Theory methods, where meaning is co\u2010constructed by, and the theory ultimately grounded in the experiences of, the participant and researcher.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The participants felt confident providing clients with interventions to promote diet\u2010related skill development and providing general healthy eating education to support this development. However, they were not comfortable providing clients with specific dietary advice. Participants identified a need for further training and support to enhance their effectiveness in providing healthy eating education and highlighted the need for more dietitians in mental health services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The occupational therapists in this study identified clear boundaries of their role in providing diet\u2010related interventions for people with severe mental illness. Suggestions for improvement in this area included further training for occupational therapists as well as increased access to dietitians for those services that lie outside the occupational therapy role.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1440-1630.2012.01028.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,30]],"date-time":"2012-08-30T15:56:33Z","timestamp":1346342193000},"page":"294-301","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["How mental health occupational therapists address issues of diet with their clients: a qualitative study"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Georgia","family":"Mahony","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences University of Newcastle Callaghan NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirsti","family":"Haracz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences University of Newcastle Callaghan NSW Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lauren T.","family":"Williams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences University of Newcastle Callaghan NSW Australia"},{"name":"Discipline of Nutrition and Dietetics Faculty of Health University of Canberra ACT Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,8,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4276\/030802210X12629548272709"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/030802260306600806"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291798008186"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2975\/29.2006.267.273"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","first-page":"509","volume-title":"Handbook of qualitative research","author":"Charmaz K.","year":"2000"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440\u20101614.2001.00877.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.schres.2008.01.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","unstructured":"Dietitians Association of Australia.
