(c) What recommendations are proposed? A scoping review of peer-reviewed and gray literature on co-design in mental health research was undertaken and narratively synthesized. A total of 28 studies were included, showing varied understandings of co-design. Key values included social justice, recognizing lived experience as expertise, and fostering safe and trusting relationships. Traditional academic structures often hinder co-design; however, innovative research methods have shown potential. Recommendations and strategies to overcome barriers are provided. To enhance the adoption of co-design in mental health research, clearer terminology and agreed-upon values and processes are needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":47195,"journal":{"name":"Otjr-Occupation Participation and Health","volume":" ","pages":"15394492251367259"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145024446","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using content analysis and open coding, transcript data was analyzed, culminating in five themes. Themes include that spirituality is individually defined; spirituality was viewed as connection with self and others; young adults are discovering what spirituality means personally; many occupations are considered spiritual; and while spirituality is important, occupations are not necessarily chosen for spiritual reasons.

Fifty-four youths participated (average age 13.5 years). The CHORES survey evaluated chore participation, the STARx questionnaire assessed health care transition readiness, and the Perceived Diabetes Self-Management Scale (PDSMS) assessed self-efficacy. Results showed that involvement in chores was positively correlated with transition readiness scores (<i>r</i> = .404, <i>p</i> < .05) and important subdomains of transition, namely self-management and provider communication. Mediation analysis found that self-efficacy significantly influenced the link between chores and transition readiness. This suggests that when adolescents assume more household responsibilities, they may develop greater confidence in managing their diabetes, which in turn enhances their readiness for the health care transition. Encouraging chores participation can improve transition readiness directly and indirectly, through self-efficacy. Understanding these mechanisms is key in designing patient education programs, or psychosocial interventions to support transition. Implications for health care providers and parents are discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":47195,"journal":{"name":"Otjr-Occupation Participation and Health","volume":" ","pages":"15394492251360236"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144859729","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this process, researchers recognized similar values between their organizations. They also reflected on the evolving mutual benefit of the partnership over time. The relationship grew by including each other in activities important to their organizations. Increasing responsibilities, including the process of agency staff becoming university-recognized researchers, facilitated becoming researchers together.
