Inhoud: In recent years, occupational therapists have become increasingly involved in the design and implementation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) prevention programs. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of an occupational therapists' designed and implemented CTS educational program targeted to address risk behaviors in the dental hygiene profession. A total of 79 practicing dental hygienists completed a pre, post, and 2-week follow-up questionnaire to measure the extent of change in knowledge of CTS symptoms, “at risk behaviors”, and prevention strategies before and after CTS education. The findings of this study suggest that the CTS educational program, presented by an occupational therapist and a registered dental hygienist, significantly impacted dental hygienist's CTS knowledge and lead to positive changes in their “at risk behaviors” and use of prevention strategies.
