Abstract
Relating to the topic: Occupation Focused Research and Research Methods.
The review aims to provide an overview of the definitions and application of co-occupation within occupational science and therapy and that will be presented on a poster.
Co-occupation is a relatively new concept that has been given attention within occupational science and therapy over the last three decades (1). Co-occupation was proposed as part of a continuum of social occupations, from parallel performed occupations to highly interrelated co-occupations. However, it has yet to be unambiguously defined (2). It represents a transactional perspective encapsulating the inseparability of people, occupation, and environment (3). Despite its potential value in understanding and applying human interactions as a therapeutic tool (4), its definitions and applications are not fully mapped (2).
Method:
The scoping review to answer:
What is the state of knowledge about the application of co-occupations in occupational therapy and science?
How are co-occupations conceptualized?
How are co-occupations used and for what purposes?
What characterizes the participants and settings where the concept of co-occupation has been researched?
What is the research gap in the literature?
