Occupations, social connections, health, and well-being of US university students during Covid-19
Objective: Participation in social occupations and some daily occupations decreased significantly due to social distancing and lockdown measures during COVID-19 pandemic. Little is known about how social occupations and connections impact the way people adapt to support their health and well-being. The aim of this study was to further discern the relationship between adaptation to occupational disruption, participation in social occupations, and …
Negotiating occupation: How older people make sense of the concept of “occupation”
Background: The concept of occupation has been widely discussed and developed theoretically in occupational science and occupational therapy.Objectives: To explore how older community living adults themselves describe and negotiate the meaning and definition of “occupation”.Methods: Twenty-seven persons in northern Sweden (67-95 years old) participated in workshops with audio-recorded discussions. The transcribed discussions were analyzed using d…
A qualitative research synthesis of positive subjective experiences in occupation from the Journal of Occupational Science (1993–2010)
Meaning in occupation is an essential concept for occupational science because its presence is thought to foster human development, health, and well-being. We explored this concept using qualitative research synthesis and integrated 11 qualitative studies of meaning in occupation from the Journal of Occupational Science published between 1993 and 2010. Framework synthesis method guided data extraction and focused on identification of positive sub…
Enhancing construct validity evidence of the Daily Experiences of Pleasure, Productivity and Restoration Profile
The purpose of this study was to further assess the psychometric properties of the PPR Profile, a newly developed tool which assesses people's experiences of pleasure, productivity, and restoration in the occupational context of their time use. The relationships between mean pleasure, productivity and restoration scores, a global indicator of occupational experience and measures of meaning in life, positive and negative affect, and life satisfact…
An Argument for a Dynamic Interrelated View of Occupational Experience
This paper provides an argument for a more dynamic, interrelated understanding of occupational experience through the simultaneous examination of Pierce's three dimensions: pleasure, productivity and restoration. Limited attention has been given to Pierce's notion in part due to a lack of continued exploration of the interrelation of the three dimensions. However a body of new evidence strongly supports the theoretical assumptions of the importan…
Occupational science: A data‐based American perspective
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…
