Abstract Background: While evidence shows that occupational therapists can play a key role in the care of people with palliative care needs, more knowledge about effective occupational therapy interventions for this group is needed. Aim: To identify, organise and prioritise intervention components considered to be effective within occupational therapy for people with palliative care needs from the perspective of occupational therapy clinicians, managers and researchers.

What is already known about the topic? • Occupational therapy plays a growing role in the care of people with palliative care needs. • Although some research has mapped the scope of occupational therapy practice in palliative care and evaluated the efficacy of occupational therapy interventions, no research has achieved international consensus on occupational therapy intervention components considered to be effective for people with palliative care needs.
