This process has been conceptualized in several theories, including response shift (RS) and transformative learning (TL). The purpose of this study was to investigate occupational therapists\u2019 and physical therapists\u2019 perspectives on the process of change that occurs in clients during rehabilitation. Method: An interpretive description approach guided this study. Five profession-specific focus groups were conducted. Participants were asked about their ideas, thoughts, and understanding of processes of change. Focus group discussions were recorded and transcribed. Data analysis was carried out using both inductive and deductive methods. Results: Participants were 14 physiotherapists and nine occupational therapists with 5\u201330 years of experience in rehabilitation settings. Participants recognized personal change in clients and noted that it involves many steps. They tried to facilitate this change by identifying signs of readiness. Without using theory-specific terminology, participants described observing and using concepts of RS and TL. Conclusions: Occupational therapists and physiotherapists play an important role in helping people learn to live with their chronic illnesses and disabilities. Further studies are needed to investigate how therapists can facilitate the process of change, including using RS and TL concepts and how this facilitation could improve clients\u2019 health-related quality of life.
