Only 14 articles provided definitions of OE, with the most frequent being ‘subjective dimension of occupation/participation’. Six themes emerged: (1) OE as a subjective component of occupation, (2) OE consisting of interrelated experiential facets, (3) OE in relation to meaning, (4) OE in relation to self-identity, (5) OE in relation to context and environment and (6) OE in relation to health outcomes.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Conclusions&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;The results point to largely incongruous definitions and descriptions of OE in the literature.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;This study looked at how “occupational experience” (OE) is described in occupational therapy and occupational science. We reviewed 73 research articles. Most of these articles focused on OE in specific groups, like asylum seekers, or on types of experiences, like the feeling of “flow.” Most of the research was done in Western countries. The most common definition of OE was “a person's experience of doing an activity.” We also found six main ideas about OE. These show that OE is personal, can include ","PeriodicalId":55418,"journal":{"name":"Australian Occupational Therapy Journal","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11753896/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143025546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Vocational rehabilitation seeks to address this need, but its pathways, interventions, and efficacy continue to be under investigation. Contributing variables are complex, identifying the need for a conceptual framework to guide practice. Occupational therapy addresses this complexity, providing theoretical frameworks such as the Person-Environment-Occupation-Performance (PEOP) model to understand the occupation of work supporting well-being and design interventions. The aim of this scoping review is to map the role of occupational therapy in providing vocational rehabilitation for people living with inflammatory arthritis.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Methods&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;A scoping review following Arksey and O'Malley's (2005) stages was completed.

Major themes aligned to the PEOP model with further analysis synthesised in subthemes. A majority of person-related interventions to support work performance was observed. This framework identifies the domains of focus in vocational rehabilitation and current gaps.

A current focus on person-focused interventions was identified. The PEOP model provides a clear framework to understand the complexity and nuances of vocational rehabilitation across the domains. Outcome measures for vocational rehabilitation are heterogenous and require further exploration as capturing the intricacy of achieving balance with work participation remains unclear. Further research into vocational rehabilitation programs incorporating all domains of the PEOP model is needed. Consideration of work performance measurements to inform effectiveness and the resulting impact on a person's well-being is required.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 &lt;","PeriodicalId":55418,"journal":{"name":"Australian Occupational Therapy Journal","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143016886","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}
