Posterpresentation: The conceptualisation and application of co-occupation: A scoping review.

Description

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.

Background:
The concept of co-occupation has received increasing attention within occupational science and therapy over the past 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 given its therapeutic potential (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:

A scoping review (5) is conducted to answer: the current state of knowledge about co-occupation’s application, its conceptualization, usage and purposes, the characteristics of participants and settings where co-occupation has been researched, and the research gap in the literature.
