Abstract

A limited understanding of trends in occupational therapy (OT) research publications exists. This study aimed to evaluate trends in OT research publications, in PubMed (2001-2020), compared to physiotherapy and rehabilitation. A method of secondary analysis of publication trends in the PubMed database was used. Medical subject headings for OT, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation were combined with search filters (e.g., population age, study design, and OT practice area). Linear regressions were computed to analyze changes in yearly growth. OT research publications increased by 5.86 per year and comprised less than 2.5% of rehabilitation research publications yearly. Knowledge synthesis was the predominant OT study design (2.94% yearly increase; p < .001). Intellectual/cognitive conditions and emergent practice areas in OT research publications increased over time (both p = .007). OT research publications were relatively evenly distributed across population age. OT research publications are increasing over time but lag relative to physiotherapy and rehabilitation broadly. Our findings may inform future OT research priorities.

2001 年至 2020 年在 PubMed 上发表的职业疗法研究论文：趋势及与物理治疗和康复的比较分析。

人们对职业疗法（OT）研究出版物的发展趋势了解有限。本研究旨在评估 PubMed（2001-2020 年）中职业疗法研究出版物的趋势，并将其与物理治疗和康复进行比较。本研究采用了对 PubMed 数据库中的出版物趋势进行二次分析的方法。通过搜索过滤器（如人口年龄、研究设计和 OT 实践领域）将 OT、物理治疗和康复的医学主题词结合起来。通过线性回归分析每年的增长变化。康复治疗研究出版物的年增长率为 5.86%，而康复治疗研究出版物的年增长率不到 2.5%。知识综合是最主要的康复治疗研究设计（年增长率为 2.94%；p < .001）。随着时间的推移，康复治疗研究出版物中的智力/认知条件和新兴实践领域也在增加（均为 p = .007）。在不同年龄段的人群中，定向行走研究出版物的分布相对均匀。随着时间的推移，康复理疗研究出版物在不断增加，但与物理治疗和康复理疗研究出版物相比，康复理疗研究出版物的数量相对较少。我们的研究结果可为未来的职业技术研究重点提供参考。
