Abstract: Background. Some authors are beginning to challenge current categorisations of occupation as self-care, productivity, and leisure in favour of categories that address meaning. However, the meaning of occupation receives relatively little attention in the literature. Purpose. To provide a synthesis of the contemporary literature that considers the meaning of occupation and to argue that phenomenological insights into the meaning of occupation might usefully inform occupational therapy research, theory, and practice. Key Issues. Meaning is a key aspect of occupation. Three phenomenological meanings of occupation uncovered by a study conducted in New Zealand—the call, Being-with and possibilities—provide a starting point for practice, research, and theory informed by understandings of the lived experience of occupation. Implications. Occupational therapy's theories would benefit from an evidence base that includes meaning, which in turn would lead to authentic occupational therapy practice.

Abstract: LGBTQ+ people are no stranger to loss and grief, particularly during times of pandemic such as the 1980s–90s HIV/AIDS pandemic and now, the COVID-19 pandemic. Current COVID-19 loss and grief research remains relatively silent on LGBTQ+ peoples’ loss and grief experiences. The aim of this research was to conduct a qualitative evidence synthesis of LGBTQ+ people’s COVID-19 loss and grief experiences reported in the literature. A systematic search and inclusion strategy identified 22 relevant articles for review. Inductive thematic synthesis resulted in five loss-focused themes across the articles: (1) loss of work and livelihood, (2) loss of social and kinship connection, (3) loss of LGBTQ+ community connection, (4) loss of physical and mental health supports and (5) loss of LGBTQ+ identity authenticity, affirmation and visibility. Discussion of these themes highlights the many layered and often disenfranchised nature of LGBTQ+ people’s loss during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract: Ongoing knowledge development calls on health professionals to explore strategies to disseminate new or updated theoretical frameworks to practitioners. To date few researchers have explored effective means to do this or how the dissemination of professional ideas impacts on effective service delivery. The study described in this article aimed to identify strategies senior occupational therapists adopted to disseminate new concepts that have the potential to re-vision and transform practice. Six occupational therapists were recruited as co-researchers to become part of a collaborative community of practice. Over a 9-month period they engaged in a project based on action research cycles where they had access to a newly revised theoretical framework. During each cycle the co-researchers participated in a teleconference which was audio-recorded where they reflected on concepts in relation to their own practice. As understanding of the theoretical framework increased, they discussed which aspects of their practice could change, particularly in relation to processes they used to disseminate knowledge to the staff they supervised or managed. The co-researchers described a range of ideas for dissemination which included in idual and group strategies. In addition, they became aware of the transformative potential of their new knowledge as a way to better understand and create change within their organisations. The co-researchers also described a sense of increased confidence, not only in terms of conceptualising practice but in terms of supervising staff and challenging service delivery.

Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate how those with pain, and their significant others, perceive the involvement of significant others in a multidisciplinary chronic pain management programme. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with eight people who had attended a Family Day as part of a three-week multidisciplinary chronic pain management programme in Auckland, New Zealand. Four of the participants had pain and four were significant others. Follow-up interviews were conducted with seven of the participants up to one year after their initial interview. Conventional content analysis was used to analyse collected data. Participants viewed the involvement of significant others to be important because managing pain necessitates 'being on the same page' and significant others also needed an opportunity to access support and information. The involvement of significant others in programmes is perceived to be important but must be a balance between what is feasible for significant others and beneficial for all. Further research into when and how significant others are included within programmes is urgently required.

Abstract: This exploratory study aimed to uncover the strategies that older adults employ to ameliorate the impact of impairments and barriers to participation. Eight participants were interviewed in their own homes, in a town or city in New Zealand. Inductive analysis of data revealed four main categories of strategies: strategies to keep safe, to recruit and accept help, to meet social and biological needs (nutritional and medical), and to conserve financial, material and bodily resources. The study supports some previous findings of strategies used by older people, and demonstrates that enquiring into the strategies that older people devise and adopt into their own lives is a productive line of inquiry. The strategies described differ from those that occupational therapists recommend, and do not incorporate public health messages about the benefits of physical activity or recommendations about falls prevention. The findings suggest that asking older clients about the strategies that they use will uncover valuable information for therapists giving advice or issuing equipment to help older adults to manage in the community.
