Pre-sleep routines in adult typical sleepers
Sleep is the most important restorative occupation in which humans engage and pre-sleep routines, which occur prior to it, have not been explored. The main question this project sought to answer was: "What are the pre-sleep routines of typical adult sleepers?" Sixteen adults identified as good sleepers based on scores from the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, between 23 and 60 years-old, drew pictures of their pre-sleep routines, followed by inter…
Music is life”
This qualitative study examined the occupational experiences of young adult rock musicians using first-hand accounts solicited through semi-structured interviews. Participants included nine male rock musicians aged 19 to 35 who actively participated in an income-generating rock band. A grounded theory approach was used for data analysis and interpretation. Participation in a rock band was conceptualized as a dynamic process between identifying as…
Research as relationship
This international research collaborative undertook what became a decade long process to look at meanings of celebratory food related occupations of elder women across three cultures in New Zealand, Thailand and the United States. Cross-cultural research comes with inherent ethical issues related to cultural lenses, use of instruments and potential biases of investigators. The many views of what cross cultural research is and how it might be done…

Promise
What is the promise of occupational science? Occupational science is under construction in response to differing historical intents, but the time for visions of what occupational science should be has passed. The nature of occupational science is evident in its body of work, in its underlying structures, and in the remaining challenges to its development. How will occupational science fulfill its promise
Occupational science
The purpose of this research was to provide a data‐based picture of the discipline of occupational science by identifying patterns of research in the first 5 years of presentations at the Society for the Study of Occupation: USA (SSO:USA). A grounded theory approach was used to examine 184 peer‐reviewed presentation abstracts, from 2002 to 2006. Among the 108 data‐based presentations, adults were the most studied group, with 46% of the data‐based…
Respecting regional culture in an international multi-site study
In order to look across three cultures at the meanings of celebratory food preparation for older women, researchers in Thailand, America and New Zealand collaboratively designed a derived etic method that respected each culture while allowing cultural comparison of food-related occupations. Anticipating differences in practices at each site, the inquiry broadly addressed who was involved, the tasks of preparing, sharing and offering food, and the…
Co‐occupation
The term co‐occupation was coined in the early days of occupational science and has begun to accrue a grouping of studies that shed light on its dynamic. Its lasting nature as a concept original to occupational science may be due to the fact that it is grounded in the interdisciplinary play literature, as well as the interests of occupational scientists in the interactive social dimension of occupation, especially those of mothers and children. T…
Cooking Up Christmas in Kentucky
What makes the Christmas meal successful "is just having family all together and sharing." This statement summarizes the meaning of the Christmas meal for the older women in rural Kentucky who participated in this study. Older women in eastern Kentucky are the orchestrators of this important, ritual meal, as were their mothers and grandmothers before them. This paper presents the Kentucky findings from a multi‐site research project exploring olde…
Exploring the forgotten restorative dimension of occupation
Restorative, or restful, occupations serve to renew depleted energy resources and result in an improved physical and mental state, with feelings of regeneration during and after participation. Restorative occupations include sleep and quiet focus activities such as quilting. Historically, the concept of restoration has been a neglected dimension of occupation within the fields of occupational therapy and occupational science. The process of quilt…
Occupational Science
Occupational science is a new scientific discipline that is defined as the systematic study of the human as an occupational being. A doctoral program in occupational science has been established at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, With its emphasis on the provision of a multidimensional description of the substrates, form, function, meaning, and sociocultural and historical contexts of occupation, occupational science emphasize…
