An integrative review exploring transition following an unexpected health-related trauma
This paper addresses transition, defined as an unanticipated and unwanted passage from one life phase, condition, or status to another, following an unexpected health-related illness or trauma. It does so by reporting the results of two systematic reviews, one from literature taking an occupational perspective and the other from the broader literature. The aims of these reviews were to determine: 1) how the literature taking an occupational persp…
Examining the Potential of Combining the Methods of Grounded Theory and Narrative Inquiry
Increasingly, qualitative researchers are combining methods, processes, and principles from two or more methodologies over the course of a research study. Critics charge that researchers adopting combined approaches place too little attention on the historical, epistemological, and theoretical aspects of the research design. Rather than discounting eclecticism in qualitative research, we prefer to place it on a continuum of integration whereby at…
The need for a social revolution in residential care
Loneliness and depression are serious mental health concerns across the spectrum of residential care, from nursing homes to assisted and retirement living. Psychosocial care provided to residents to address these concerns is typically based on a long-standing tradition of 'light' social events, such as games, trips, and social gatherings, planned and implemented by staff. Although these activities provide enjoyment for some, loneliness and depres…

First we consider the normalizing construction of play in early child development. We then apply critical perspectives to discuss the implications of reframing play as an occupational determinant by exploring how Indigenous children's play can be shap…

Occupational Engagement and Meaning
Engagement and meaning are essential properties of occupation that have been associated with well-being in the occupational science literature. A deeper examination of subjective experiences while engaging in particular occupations may illuminate how specific occupational characteristics contribute to the relationship between occupation and well-being. Consequently, this study investigates the concepts of personal meaning and occupational engagem…
