Abstract

Background: Assessing perceptions of occupational balance is essential in both clinical occupational therapy and research. Attempts to characterise occupational balance often arrive at multi-faceted explanations, including a variety of occupations, personal satisfaction, and time allocation.

Aim: This study aimed to deepen the understanding of occupational balance as a phenomenon and investigate the relevance and usability of the Satisfaction with Daily Occupations and Occupational Balance (SDO-OB), which assesses occupational balance from the multi-faceted perspective mentioned above.

Methods: A cross-sectional and longitudinal design was employed. Patients undergoing the treatment method Tree Theme Method^™ for depression and/or anxiety completed the SDO-OB and a background questionnaire. Conventional statistical analyses were used.

Results: Variety of occupations and personal satisfaction remained stable between baseline and follow-up, while participants' time allocation shifted from underoccupied towards balanced in the home and maintenance domain. All three perspectives of occupational balance were intercorrelated at baseline, and baseline scores on variety of occupations and on time allocation in work, leisure, and household domains were associated with personal satisfaction at follow-up.

Conclusion and significance: The three perspectives appeared to represent a unified phenomenon-occupational balance-while still offering unique insights. The SDO-OB seems relevant for both clinical occupational therapy and research.

Trial registration: Clinical Trials.gov: NCT01980381.

运用三视角研究抑郁症和/或焦虑症患者职业平衡的相关性。

背景：评估职业平衡的感知在临床职业治疗和研究中都是必不可少的。试图描述职业平衡通常会得到多方面的解释，包括各种职业、个人满意度和时间分配。目的：本研究旨在加深对职业平衡这一现象的认识，并探讨从上述多角度评估职业平衡的日常职业与职业平衡满意度（SDO-OB）的相关性和可用性。方法：采用横断面和纵向设计。接受抑郁和/或焦虑治疗方法Tree Theme method™的患者完成了SDO-OB和背景调查问卷。采用常规统计分析。结果：职业多样性和个人满意度在基线和随访期间保持稳定，而参与者的时间分配在家庭和维护领域从“空闲”转向平衡。职业平衡的三个观点在基线上都是相互关联的，并且在工作、休闲和家庭领域的各种职业和时间分配的基线得分与随访时的个人满意度相关。结论和意义：这三种观点似乎代表了一个统一的现象——职业平衡，同时也提供了独特的见解。SDO-OB似乎与临床职业治疗和研究都相关。试验注册：Clinical Trials.gov: NCT01980381。
