Numerous risk factors for stroke are modifiable and are associated with lifestyle and daily habits. An occupational perspective in prevention, which emphasizes habits and routines, can facilitate sustainable and healthy lifestyle changes. Additionally, lifestyle changes generally take place within a social context, making family involvement indispensable. Purpose. This study aims to explore family support from the perspective of persons with risk for stroke (PWRS) who participated in an occupation-based stroke prevention program, and their family members. Method. Explorative qualitative design using interviews was conducted with 10 PWRS who participated in the Make My Day intervention and 10 family members of intervention participants, including both married and nonmarried partners and adult children. Data were analyzed using an inductive semantic approach and reflexive thematic analysis. Findings. Family support depends on the nature of relationships, the family's willingness to accept support, and expectations. Three themes were generated through the analysis: (a) shared perspectives on lifestyle influence support, (b) balancing support and individual responsibility, and (c) generating tensions from different views on health and lifestyle habits. Conclusion. Family support encourages lifestyle changes by sharing activities, offering encouragement, and providing positive reinforcement. Nonetheless, difficulties can occur in maintaining a balance between supporting family members and respecting their personal responsibility, particularly when family members have varying levels of understanding regarding health.","PeriodicalId":49097,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy-Revue Canadienne D Ergotherapie","volume":" ","pages":"84174261433649"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147640162","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This means not only examining how we may be reproducing oppression and privilege within workplaces and therapeutic spaces, but also working to transform harmful social conditions in the world around us. While advocacy is well-established in the profession, activism may be less familiar. Purpose: The authors reflect on experiences and relevant literature to examine how advocacy, activism, and agitating may be part of a spectrum of justice-oriented change-making efforts in occupational therapy. Key concepts: All require careful analysis and mobilization of power, identifying the roots of inequities and potential strategies for change. There are multiple ways to engage in this work, but it has often been construed as \"unprofessional.\" The authors argue that it is in fact professional, demanding nuanced, ethical commitment, and moral courage. Implications: Arguably, confronting social inequities is an essential part of a professional duty to the public. Collective action is most effective for change-making, building solidarity with others around a clear analysis of power and processes for social transformation.","PeriodicalId":49097,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy-Revue Canadienne D Ergotherapie","volume":" ","pages":"84174261433654"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147500087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meaningful participation may reduce stress and enhance well-being. While participation encompasses both attendance and involvement, little is known about how involvement relates to emotional well-being (EWB) in occupational and physical therapy (OT/PT) students. Purpose: Using Experience Sampling Method, this study examined the association between momentary ratings of involvement in outside-of-school activities and EWB among OT/PT students, and whether this association differed by program. Method: Thirty-eight students (87% female) participated. Using the m-Path app, participants completed a set of five questions several times daily over a period of two weeks, reporting current activity, involvement level, and three emotional states. Pearson correlations and mixed-effect models were used. Findings: Of the 957 observations, non-academic activities were most common (80%). Involvement was most strongly associated with happiness and cheerfulness (0.4 > r > 0.9), seen in 53% of the participants. These associations were significant in both programs, with greater effects among OT students (0.52 >β > 0.59). Conclusion: Involvement in outside-of-school activities, captured in real-time, is important to students' well-being, particularly happiness and cheerfulness. Findings may interest OT/PT students and directors seeking to support well-being through occupation.","PeriodicalId":49097,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy-Revue Canadienne D Ergotherapie","volume":" ","pages":"84174261433629"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147488017","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An online survey of Canadian therapists providing mental health services (n = 487) was conducted, followed by 8 regional focus groups (n = 63) to explore perspectives in more depth. Analysis of the survey and focus group data identified key trends in practice patterns and beliefs. Findings. There was variation in the extent to which psychotherapy was adopted, but trends in the types of approaches and perceived competence in foundational skills. Tensions were noted in the extent to which psychotherapy was linked to occupational therapy (OT) practice. Most felt that occupational therapy offered a unique occupation-based approach, but practice was shaped by differences in the regulatory context, and recognition of their role. Implications.
