“…Though the concept of occupational justice has been present in the literature for about three decades, 32 we found limited evidence of its conceptualisation and application in mental health and no studies in HIV. 35 36 46 50 52 54 Despite the global justice theoretical orientation of the concept, the studies found were also exclusively from high-income countries,.…”

“…For the purposes of search strategy development, we restricted our search to literature published between January 1997 and January 2019, a period which has seen the emergence and rapid growth in literature on occupational justice. 32 We conducted a preliminary search on PubMed and this enabled refinement of our search strategy to maximise sensitivity and specificity. We adapted the PubMed search strategy (online supplementary appendix 1) accordingly for other databases.…”

Occupational justice and social inclusion among people living with HIV and people with mental illness: a scoping review

et al. 2020

ObjectiveTo explore ways in which occupational justice and social inclusion are conceptualised, defined and operationalised in highly stigmatised and chronic conditions of mental illness and HIV.DesignThis scoping review protocol followed Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) Scoping Review Framework.Data sources and eligibilityThe following databases were searched for the period January 1997 to January 2019: Medline via PubMed, Scopus, Academic Search Premier, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Africa-Wide Information, Humanities International Complete, Web of Science, PsychInfo, SocINDEX and grey literature.Eligible articles were primary studies, reviews or theoretical papers which conceptualised, defined and/or operationalised social inclusion or occupational justice in mental illness or HIV.Study appraisal and synthesisWe undertook a three-part article screening process. Screening and data extraction were undertaken independently by two researchers. Arksey’s framework and thematic analysis informed the collation and synthesis of included papers.ResultsFrom 3352 records, we reviewed 139 full articles and retained 27 for this scoping review. Definitions of social inclusion and occupational justice in the domains of mental illness and HIV were heterogeneous and lacked definitional clarity. The two concepts were conceptualised as either processes or personal experiences, with key features of community participation, respect for human rights and establishment and maintenance of healthy relationships. Conceptual commonalities between social inclusion and occupational justice were premised on social justice.ConclusionsTo address lack of clarity, we propose further and concurrent exploration of these concepts, specifically with reference to persons with comorbid mental health disorders such as substance use disorders and HIV living in low-income countries. This should reflect contextual realities influencing community participation, respect for human rights and meaningful occupational participation. From this broadened understanding, quantitative measures should be applied to improve the standardisation of measurements for occupational justice and social inclusion in policy, research and practice.

“…These disparities, evident in public policies and practices that stigmatize formerly incarcerated people, are potentially compounded for people of color, especially African Americans and Hispanics, who not only already experience inequities in these societal domains, but also are overrepresented in rates of incarceration and recidivism (The Sentencing Project, 2016). These externalized sources of stigma can lead to social withdrawal and occupational marginalization (Serrata Malfitano et al, 2016) as well as internalized "shame and stigma of prison label" (Alexander, 2010, p. 40). The confluence of the perceived stigma produced from these forces may increase the risk of recidivism (James, 2015).…”

“…In the introduction to The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, Michelle Alexander (2010) states that an individual's "release from prison does not represent the beginning of freedom but instead a cruel new phase of stigmatization and control" (p. 57). This phase is informed by public policies that contribute to occupational marginalization, a concept defined as the inability to make choices and decisions about daily occupational participation (Serrata Malfitano et al, 2016). Occupational marginalization for formerly incarcerated individuals is often related to the evident stigmatization in education, housing, and employment.…”

Background: Minimal attention has been given to the perspectives and experiences of individuals post incarceration regarding stigma and its impact on reintegration and occupational engagement. This research aimed to understand how stigma is experienced among individuals who were formerly incarcerated and its influence on occupational engagement, specifically social participation, work, and school occupations. This research also examined the role of occupational therapy as an intervention in addressing stigma from the perspectives of individuals who were formerly incarcerated to inform practice and mitigate the influence of stigma. Method: Interviews were conducted with 10 participants of a work rehabilitation program for people who had previously been incarcerated. A thematic analysis was performed to identify major themes. Themes were organized into concept maps related to stigma as experienced by those who were formerly incarcerated. Results: Four overarching themes emerged. These themes, internal and external perceptions, and family and community systems, served to enable as well as disable the impact of stigma on daily life post incarceration. Conclusion: The themes presented increased the understanding of stigma as experienced by individuals who were formerly incarcerated and supported the need for further research and occupational therapy programming specifically aimed at minimizing the impact of stigma. Comments This study was approved by the university's institutional review board and completed in partial fulfillment of the university's occupational therapy postprofessional doctorate program. No conflicts of interest are declared.

Objectives To develop a protocol for a scoping review mapping as well as thematically analyzing the literature on the effect of, and responses to, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, focused on people with disabilities with other layers of individual vulnerability or social disadvantage. Methods We will search scientific databases (Medline/PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, AgeLine, PsycINFO, CINAHL, ERIC) and preprint servers (MedRxiv, SocArXiv, PsyArXiv). Google searches, snowballing, and key-informant strategies were also used, including a focus on the gray literature (eg, official reports). Peer-reviewed and preprint publications will be covered in 6 languages, and the gray literature in English. Publications will be included if they address individuals with disabilities; the COVID-19 pandemic or subsequent socioeconomic or occupational effects; and individual or social vulnerabilities, including any form of discrimination, marginalization, or social disadvantage. Two independent reviewers will perform eligibility decisions and key data extractions. Beyond mapping the literature, the results will thematically analyze any disproportionate risks people with disabilities and other forms of vulnerability experience in terms of being infected by COVID-19, having severe health consequences, and facing negative socioeconomic effects. Actions taken or recommended to reduce identified inequalities will also be synthesized. Our entire research team, with diverse backgrounds, will be involved in the synthesis. Conclusions This review, which we plan to expedite, aims to inform policy makers, health authorities, disability advocates, and other stakeholders regarding the needs and ways to promote equity and disability-inclusive responses to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resultant socioeconomic shockwaves.
