Focus Group Transcripts on Practice Readiness of Newly Qualified Occupational Therapists: Multi-Stakeholder Perspectives (UK)

This dataset contains de-identified, pseudonymised verbatim transcripts from four stakeholder-specific focus groups discussions conducted in the United Kingdom as part of a qualitative study exploring practice readiness among newly qualified occupational therapists (NQOTs). The four groups include (1) newly qualified occupational therapists, (2) workplace managers who supervise NQOTs in the workplace, (3) university lecturers involved in occupational therapy education, and (4) practice educators responsible for student placement training.

The focus groups lasted from 71 to 90 minutes and transcribed verbatim by a professional transcriber. Each file includes a brief header describing the stakeholder group and speaker turns are labelled with a pseudonym and stakeholder role (e.g., “NQOT_P3”, “WM_P2”).

The dataset files will be made available on request after publication of the associated journal article.
