“…Many studies (Pierre, 2009; Parkinson et al, 2011; Wimpenny et al, 2010; Whiteford et al, 2019) highlight that when professionals are dedicated to describing practice based on occupation‐oriented frameworks there is greater congruence between what is done and what is said to be done. However, beyond advocating for a unique set of values and beliefs, as proposed by Turner and Knight (2015), enhanced attention should be paid to the differences in how practices and knowledge are constituted in different cultures, as discussed by Carey et al (2019).…”

Introduction New contexts of practice demand that professionals engage in critical reflection to handle new situations and to create new knowledge that is responsive to professional practices situated in unique historical and social contexts. Community of Practice offers a framework for professions to reflect together on practice dilemmas and to generate practical solutions. Methods This paper presents a participatory action research project that traces the trajectory of a Community of Practice made up of seven occupational therapists working in primary health care and a researcher team, in Brazil. This study mapped the Community of Practice's trajectory between 2013 and 2017 through a group timeline analysis, which occurred gradually, in a collaborative mode. Results Three distinct phases in the trajectory of the development of the Community of Practice were identified: narrative perspectives were utilised as a means to identify dilemmas and difficulties in practice; the investigation of clients' needs and identification of issues was an ongoing process; and the generation of practice‐based knowledge through the development of instruments to sustain clinical reasoning was a creative solution to practical dilemmas. Conclusion Three main aspects were highlighted: the partnership between researchers and practitioners as a potential avenue for the production of knowledge relevant to professional practice; the negotiation of the dilemma of "putting practice into words" in the context of constantly changing local and global perspectives; and the investigation of situated practice as an important element that can strengthen, strain, resist or even modify hegemonic perspectives of knowledge production in our field.

“…If the answer is yes, then we need to invest in studies that will offer evidence to clarify our understanding of engagement and its main attributes that can support future evidence-based assessments. While occupational engagement has been identified as a route of global health delivery (Carey et al, 2019), gaps remain, such as how to understand the 'occupational engagement' we say we deliver to achieve the outcomes of occupational participation?…”

Occupational engagement has been conflated with other concepts, such as participation, active occupational performance, and therapeutic engagement. This critical review will discuss occupational engagement as a unique concept that describes a form of involvement in doing that does not require performance and foregrounds the subjective-affective and cognitive experiences of doing. We present some attributes of occupational engagement and the implications for the lack of clarity of this concept within the literature. The difference between occupational engagement and therapeutic engagement is discussed by comparing the foundational tenets of the Model of Human Occupation (MOHO) and the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E). Through one illustrative narrative, we discuss how occupational engagement can be understood as a phenomenon that is not performance-dependent and has different levels of engagement. To conclude, we point out some assumptions about occupational engagement that can inform occupational therapy research and practice.

“…Furthermore, in the field of occupational therapy, an international debate possibility is through discussion of global solutions to healthcare challenges (Carey et al, 2019), as the example of the population with learning disabilities. Readers can compare and contrast services across countries, or even utilise the model of services to create opportunities for occupational therapists where specific public services for people with learning disabilities do not exist, as it is the case of Brazil.…”

Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted on service provision for adults who have a learning disability, resulting in reduced occupational activities, routine, and social contact. Objective To analyse referrals received for Occupational Therapy intervention for adults who have a learning disability pre-COVID-19 (2019) and during COVID-19 (2020). Method This is a descriptive study conducted as a service evaluation with an NHS Trust Clinical Effectiveness Team in a city in the North of England. The data source was obtained from referral documentation. Quantitative and qualitative data were extracted from a data Performa and analysed using descriptive statistics (mean, median, mode, and standard deviation) performed by the Software Microsoft Excel. Results The total number of cases used in this evaluation was 274. There was an increase in referrals during the COVID-19 pandemic, the greatest increase was for Occupational Therapy intervention focusing on engagement in meaningful occupation. Over both years the predominant referrals were for equipment reviews. Conclusion Data collected captures a broad range of information regarding Occupational Therapy service provision pre and during the COVID-19 pandemic and puts this in the context of future considerations regarding the Occupational Therapy services for adults who have a learning disability.
