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 perspective contributes to understandings of transition in people who have experienced an unexpected health-related illness or trauma, 2) how the broader literature describes the attributes of transition in this same population, 3) the differences and similarities that emerge between the occupational and broader literature, and 4) to develop a definition of an unexpected health-related transition from an occupational perspective. Journals from OTDBase were searched for the occupational literature and the data were organized into seven strands with supporting elements and references. Then the Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Web of Science databases were searched for their definitions and descriptions of transition. Similarities between these two bodies of literature include descriptions of the experience of transition from the individual's perspective, acknowledged emotional and physical changes resulting from unexpected health trauma, and the strong need for social support. Differences include the role of meaningful engagement in occupation to address transition and contribute to well-being in the literature taking an occupational perspective versus the emphasis on internal processes to address uncertainty and identity issues pervasive in the broader literature. These reviews conclude with a definition of transition from an occupational perspective
