Abstract

Introduction

Occupational therapists and physiotherapists aim to promote health, prevent various diseases and help people in their rehabilitation processes. So far, there is a paucity of understanding of the big picture of how the new paradigm of planetary health (PH) is connected to the education and practice of these professionals.

Methods

This research aimed to address this gap by investigating and deploying a bibliometric analysis to elucidate the pivotal role of occupational therapists and physiotherapists in addressing PH challenges. The ultimate goal is to construct a comprehensive framework crosschecking the bibliometric analysis and the collection of 10 case studies selected by experts to outline how best practices in occupational therapy and physiotherapy, related to the three pillars of sustainability and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), can contribute to increasing PH.

Results

The bibliometric analysis revealed four major research strands: 1) enhancing patient care and quality of life; 2) integrating sustainability in health care and rehabilitation; 3) professional development and clinical competence; and 4) evidence-based practice and quality improvement. Moreover, further temporal analysis revealed how the topic evolved, from advancing evidence-based practice and clinical effectiveness, exploring the strengthening of health care and person-centred practices, to connecting the topic to aspects also predicted by the SDGs, such as integrating environmental and climate concerns in therapy and addressing psychological and self-care impacts on health. The case studies confirmed this trend, and a framework of PH in occupational therapy and physiotherapy through the lens of the SDGs was developed to support future research and practitioners in advancing this research field.

Conclusions

Occupational therapists and physiotherapists are essential players in public health and can integrate sustainability at every level of practice, from using resources during therapy sessions to advocating for more sustainable lifestyles.

在职业治疗和物理治疗中促进有关地球健康的讨论。

导言：职业治疗师和物理治疗师旨在促进健康、预防各种疾病和帮助人们康复。迄今为止，人们对地球健康（PH）新范式如何与这些专业人员的教育和实践相联系的全局还缺乏了解：本研究旨在通过调查和文献计量分析来阐明职业治疗师和物理治疗师在应对地球健康挑战中的关键作用，从而弥补这一不足。最终目标是构建一个综合框架，交叉检查文献计量分析和专家挑选的 10 个案例研究，概述职业治疗和物理治疗中与可持续发展三大支柱和联合国可持续发展目标（SDGs）相关的最佳实践如何有助于提高 PH：文献计量分析揭示了四个主要研究领域：1) 提高患者护理和生活质量；2) 将可持续性融入医疗保健和康复；3) 专业发展和临床能力；4) 循证实践和质量改进。此外，进一步的时间分析揭示了这一主题是如何演变的，从推进循证实践和临床效果、探索加强医疗保健和以人为本的实践，到将这一主题与可持续发展目标所预测的方面联系起来，如将环境和气候问题纳入治疗，以及解决心理和自我保健对健康的影响。案例研究证实了这一趋势，并从可持续发展目标的角度制定了职业治疗和物理治疗中的健康防护框架，以支持未来的研究和从业人员推进这一研究领域：结论：职业治疗师和物理治疗师是公共卫生领域的重要参与者，可以将可持续发展融入实践的各个层面，从在治疗过程中使用资源到倡导更可持续的生活方式。

期刊介绍： The Australian Occupational Therapy Journal is a leading international peer reviewed publication presenting influential, high quality innovative scholarship and research relevant to occupational therapy. The aim of the journal is to be a leader in the dissemination of scholarship and evidence to substantiate, influence and shape policy and occupational therapy practice locally and globally. The journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical papers, and reviews. Preference will be given to manuscripts that have a sound theoretical basis, methodological rigour with sufficient scope and scale to make important new contributions to the occupational therapy body of knowledge. AOTJ does not publish protocols for any study design The journal will consider multidisciplinary or interprofessional studies that include occupational therapy, occupational therapists or occupational therapy students, so long as ‘key points’ highlight the specific implications for occupational therapy, occupational therapists and/or occupational therapy students and/or consumers.
