Abstract
Introduction
Chronic respiratory diseases have a clear impact on occupational performance and engagement. Although occupational therapists have long provided services to this population, evidence regarding the unique role and true impact of occupational therapy is emerging.
Aims/objectives
The purpose of this scoping review was to explore the range, context, and outcomes of occupational therapy services for adults with chronic respiratory conditions.
Methods
A scoping review guided by the methodological framework of Arksey and O'Malley was completed. To be included articles needed to be peer reviewed primary studies published in English between 2000 and September 2022 describing occupational therapy service delivery for people with chronic respiratory conditions.
Results
Twenty-six articles met inclusion criteria including 12 cohort studies, seven randomised control trials, four qualitative, two case reports, and one service evaluation. Interventions were targeted at body functions and structures (n = 18), activities and participation (n = 17), and environmental factors (n = 14). Ten studies reported impacts of occupational therapy ranging from physiological responses through to quality of life.
Conclusion
Occupational therapy service delivery is common for this population, often occurring as part of multidisciplinary programs, and is inclusive of a range of assessments and interventions. Further details in future primary research are needed to describe the mode and unique occupational nature of service delivery.
