In recent years, research on coaching has proliferated, emerging from within and outside of occupational therapy. Yet, concern has been raised about the absence of theoretical underpinning and diversity of descriptions of coaching in occupational therapy, as well as low-quality evidence supporting its effectiveness. The aim of this study is to map the use of coaching by occupational therapists from 2007 to 2022 to identify the populations, settings and outcomes it is applied to, differences between coaching interventions and evidence supporting its use.&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;This systematic scoping review applied Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage methodological framework with further methodological direction using the Levac framework.

A wide range of coaching interventions are designed or used by occupational therapists, with Occupational Performance Coaching being the most researched (16/27, 59% of named interventions). Common elements of coaching interventions included collaborative goal setting and problem-solving; however, a lack of described theory or coaching methods persists.

However, there are concerns about the state of health research for these purposes. The timeframes for embedding robust research findings into practice are slow (often cited at 17 years) and even with focused efforts in implementation science, practice is often lagging behind research (Juckett et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). In addition, there can be gaps or quality concerns within published research about particular practice areas, populations and settings. More broadly, some areas of research are also noting a &lt;i&gt;replicability crisis&lt;/i&gt; where earlier findings are unable to be replicated in subsequent studies, bringing the validity of original findings into question. The challenge of &lt;i&gt;research waste&lt;/i&gt;, where expensive research may be unpublished, unread or unable to be used in practice is also challenging researchers to focus on and disseminate useful, prioritised, needed and high-quality research (Chalmers et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;). These research challenges should raise concerns for occupational therapists, health services and consumers of health services, and has led to proposed changes in the way research needs to be conducted and applied (Korbmacher et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We believe an important tool to begin to address many of these concerns is inclusive research. We are a team of researchers who contribute to allied health research and have either or both living experience of disability/health conditions and health or technology qualifications. By inclusive research we mean research which is conducted in partnership with interest holders in the research, particularly living experience experts/consumers, families, communities, clinicians, managers and policy makers. In addition, we contend research should use inclusive ways of defining and engaging with participants to collect data. Finally, dissemination and implementation of findings should be planned for and enacted within the partnered research, ensuring the research is usable and used.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Partnering with interest holders, particularly those with living experience, has many benefits for the planning and conduct of research. These partnerships can allow for meaningful prioritisation of research areas, inclusive design and planning of projects and consideration of implementation requirements. It can allow for troubleshooting research challenges (e.g., recruitment, communication about the study, online approaches to engagement, outcome measurement and design of implementation strategies) (Liddle et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;). It can also support research dissemination, ensuring that those people who will use, or should know about the research, can engage with the information in an accessible format (e.g., easy-read, audio and visual formats).

These clinical tools are predominantly utilised in acute mental health settings with a person during or straight after a crisis. There is currently a gap in the literature regarding the preparation of personal safety tools in non-acute mental health settings. This descriptive article discusses the learnings and outcomes from a co-designed project that aimed to develop a personal safety tool suitable for a community mental health rehabilitation setting.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Methods</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Seven people with lived experience engaging within a mental health community-based rehabilitation service were recruited through convenience sampling to participate in the co-design project. A focus group approach was utilised during four group meetings to develop a personal safety tool template. Experiences and ideas about safety planning were transcribed during meetings and thematic analysis extracted key themes. Five steps underpinned the co-design process that included identifying the need, establishing the co-design group, planning, design and development, and review and closure.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Consumer and community involvement</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Consumer involvement commenced at step two of the co-design process.

Four key themes emerged from focus group meetings that informed the content of the tool: (i) ensuring the personal safety tool is individualised and meaningful, (ii) promoting exploration of personal strengths and interests, (iii) enabling opportunities to learn self-management skills, and (iv) treating the personal safety tool as a dynamic and adaptable tool.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Findings suggest that a personal safety tool targeted to a mental health community-based rehabilitation setting should have an individualised and preventative focus to mental health care.
