ABSTRACT
Provision of access to health care for all people, regardless of their socioeconomic status or where they live, is one of the United Nations’ goals of making health care a universal human right. During the era of coronavirus where movement is restricted including where health facilities are located, e-therapy can be implemented in occupational therapy services to reduce socioeconomic barriers related to health costs and access. This cross-sectional quantitative study design explores the impact of specific e-therapy application in advancing occupational therapy intervention as a rehabilitative profession in supporting clients in low-resourced countries. The study findings show maximum acceptance and high satisfaction level of the clients following e-therapy services; occupational therapists also were satisfied with the implementation of e-therapy services; however, a few therapists were not ready to deliver e-therapy interventions due to different challenges.
